The way teams are organised and managed has changed.
Put yourself in your buyer’s shoes
Today’s B2B buyers are more informed than ever. Your buyer is overwhelmed by choice. For them, the safe option can often feel like just doing nothing at all and maintaining the status-quo.
Your buyer rarely makes a decision alone but asks for the views of others, including people they do not know personally, to form an opinion on what is the best way forward. Perspective is everything. Your product may be amazing, feature rich – the best thing since sliced bread. However, unless your sales team view the situation from the prospect’s point of view, their efforts will be wasted.
