The Buyer Seller Landscape is Changing with AI

Post card image

Here’s a question I’ve been asking business owners and sales leaders lately.

When was the last time your salespeople had to sell in a really tough economy?

For many, it’s been well over a decade.

They’ve spent years selling to existing accounts, responding to inbound leads, quoting business and relying on relationships built long ago.

And how much professional sales training and coaching have they received during those years?

For many, very little.

Several recent industry studies show over 50% of salespeople have never had extensive sales training and over 70% of sales people queried wanted more training and coaching.

Now the buying and selling landscapes are changing.

 

Buyers are using AI to research competitors, compare pricing, evaluate solutions and challenge salespeople before the first conversation.

Marketing isn’t delivering enough qualified leads.

New business is harder to win.

And some of your most experienced salespeople haven’t had to consistently prospect, develop new relationships or create opportunities in years!

How are your people going to get better?

Another year of experience?

Another product training session?

Another pipeline meeting reviewing deals that haven’t moved?

Or are you going to help them develop the skills and habits they need to compete today?

We’re seeing it every week in our No BS Sales coaching programs.

Experienced salespeople need a new rule book.

• Stronger prospecting skills and habits.
• Consultative selling skills that uncover real opportunities.
• Better questioning and qualification.
• AI tools that help them compete with better-informed buyers.
• Meaningful activity KPIs that drive pipeline growth.
• Regular deal coaching, practice and accountability.

And hoping your salespeople figure it out on their own is an expensive strategy.

That’s exactly why we’re hosting our upcoming:

Are your salespeople being professionally developed, or are you simply expecting them to produce more?
