Sales forces are caught in the middle. On one side, their customers have changed dramatically in terms
of how they purchase and what they expect. Salespeople must cope with more products, introduced
faster with shorter life cycles, and less competitive differentiation. Every small or big improvement is a
step closer to success. Continuous improvements are necessary as it keeps you changing, innovating,
and moving in the right direction.

activity, growing the organization, and attacking specific markets.

To be successful salespeople can no longer “sell”, the customers don’t need a salesperson anymore,
they need a tour guide. A tour guide to the industry. A tour guide to help navigate questions, problems,

salespeople are no longer selling, but are focused on helping customers make truly informed decisions.

companies are embracing the change and re-aligning their sales departments to put the customer at the
centre of the discussion, focusing on how they are influenced and how they buy. In turn they are
