What have the last two years wrought? COVID and its descendants supply chain nightmares and inflation have rapidly accelerated changes to how buyers spec, bid, and buy products. The rules of channel sales are changing, and many salespeople are slow to adapt to those changes. This presentation will help sales executives and reps understand how to meet the new demands of today’s digital sales environment where buyers are taking control of the sales process.
The presentation will look at key trends that appeared early in the century but accelerated under the pandemic, including:
• How and when purchasing wants to be engaged by salespeople
• The importance of culture for a sales organization (in many cases more important than compensation),
• How to better partner with manufacturers to represent their products with one voice, and
• How the metrics you run your business with have and must continue to change.
