Two-thirds of buyers prefer digital interactions

Communication with buyers is increasingly digital-first, at every stage of the sales cycle. The challenge for sellers is those buyers are inundated with digital sales messages—ranging from irrelevant to outright spam. So, they’re on guard, and buyer reachability is at an all-time low.

And when sellers do manage to schedule a meeting, they struggle with the lack of control over the remote environment and the inability to manage the variables of customer attention and distractions of a distant prospect.

Business outcomes suffer when inside sales professionals don’t possess the right skills:

Prospects aren’t making it into the pipeline as sellers are unable to break through the noise and establish contact and credibility.

And when deals do make it into the pipeline, they are often stuck because customers have no reason to take action and make a decision.

Many organizations fail to seize the digital selling opportunity.

Engage and captivate buyers in the digital environment

Personalize the messages you send buyers–in a way that instantly differentiates you from the spam and the noise?

Lead more memorable and compelling virtual sales conversations, using strategies and techniques that capture and hold attention, and create real dialogue?
