VIDEO: Thriving through Change: The Future of Sales

Between COVID-19 and major disruptions in Supply chains globally, B2B buying behavior has grown more unpredictable than ever before. Changes to trends in buying behavior had already been occurring, disrupting B2B Sales and the pandemic has since compounded these.

B2B buyers have been moving to self-educate and pushing the engagement with Sellers further into the traditional funnel and they increasingly want to engage with suppliers through digital and self-service channels. Gartner expects that by 2025, 80% of B2B sales interactions between suppliers and buyers will occur in digital channels. 60% of B2B sales organizations will transition from experience and intuition-based selling to data-driven selling, merging their sales process, applications, data, and analytics into a single operational practice.

The opportunity for B2B sales to adopt a digital mindset is enormous, but only for the progressive chief sales officers (CSO’s) who adapt to engage this new, “Everywhere customer”.

Key agenda topics this interactive session from our latest CPSA Sales Success Summit:

  • The Evolution of B2B Sales - Why Change?
  • New Expectations and trends of B2B Buyers
  • 4 Strategies to succeed - the Future is Digital
