Sales Process

Let’s resolve your company’s challenges together

Gartner key take away sales enablement

Aligning sales processes with actual buyer readiness is an entirely new way to think about improving sales effectiveness and performance. Sales enablement leaders must work to eliminate the misalignment between what customers want and what sales does to create a more engaging buyer experience.

Use Sales Reps to Educate Buyers Who Aren’t Aware They Have a Business Problem
Marketing alone is not enough to reach “unaware” buyers: those who don’t know they have a problem and aren’t exploring solutions. Providers should use sales development reps for digitally driven outbound prospecting as a cost-effective way to proactively “jump-start” the buying journey.

Situational Awareness Will Become the Primary Context for a Customer-Driven Sales Organization
With customers taking more control of their buying processes, they become frustrated when the provider sales process is not aligned to their specific wants and needs. Building situational awareness into the design of sales organizations can positively impact customer experience and sales growth.

By narrowing the focus, delivering consistent training and enablement, leveraging data and analytics, and adopting broader success metrics, provider marketing leaders can increase the number of sales-accepted leads generated by inbound sales development rep teams.
