Sales, Account Management, Sales Leadership

If you would ask someone what a sales role is all about, you’ll probably hear something like: understanding customer needs, building rapport, conveying value, closing deals, fostering relationships. And of course that’s all true. Still nowadays we believe sales is so much more. Sales has evolved from transactional, to service oriented, to nowadays, value selling.

At these three levels of selling, we interact with our customers:

1. Traditional transactional selling

2. Service oriented selling

3. Selling business value

Salespeople receive the most training of any profession and for a reason. The sales role is one of the most demanding jobs available, often underestimated. It’s crucial to stay up to date and challenge capabilities and mindset.
