Modern Frontline Sales Skills
Boost Win Rates and Revenues
Media technology salespeople are almost always technically-savvy insiders recruited into sales positions without ever having the opportunity to develop formal tactical sales skills. Many companies feel the salesperson’s understanding of the industry and the products and services qualify them to find and manage sales opportunities.
The reality is that many of these salespeople rely on their technical expertise to communicate features and benefits to user- and operational-level contacts while missing the strategic, business problems their solutions address. They call too low and are surprised when a senior level prospect executive spends money on another solution with greater strategic, political and/or personal value.
Most frontline media technology salespeople lack a formal, repeatable sales process that would give them better control over opportunities. Instead, they are reactive to the demands of each prospect and miss opportunities to build competitive differentiation and value.
