High-Performance Organizations for a New World of Sales
•
0 gostou•802 visualizações
The old way of selling is dead! We have known it for some time, but the world’s economy has shown us once and forever that the old days are over – definitively. Sales cycles have become longer, conversion rates are falling, forecasts are becoming unreliable and margins are shrinking. The traditional sales boost plan involves incentives, layoffs, training and technology but overlooks the simple fact that most organizations are a dysfunctional bunch of isolated departments that make it hard for people to perform, let alone work with clients. In the New World of Sales, organizations are client-focused by design and apply smart training and technology to support the structural choices they have made. The New World of Sales takes the concept of a client-focused organization as a starting point for a discussion about ways to overcome sales bottlenecks and to align people, processes and tools. If you are tired of the old recipes and are keen to integrate more sustainable methods for a new world of sales, you are more than welcome to join us and start a new journey.
