Failing to plan is planning to fail.....
We've all heard that before. It's undoubted.
But - will any old plan do? Absolutely not!

As buyers continue to change how they buy, sales people need to keep evolving.
But how - and why?
In short - the salesperson of the future will be the one that adapts his/her selling processes to match the new way in which buyers buy.
There are lots of disrupting influences in the B2B marketplace at the moment - the move to the cloud, social media, globalisation, etc. These issues are disrupting commerce - but the accompanying change in how buyers buy in particular is disrupting and making irrelevant the "old ways of selling"..

You might have heard the analogy about sales (including social selling) being like a cocktail party.
The person at the party people want to talk to is NOT the guy talking about how great he is. Rather, it's the person who's doing active listening - responding to and engaging with what others have to say.
Sales is the same. Successful salespeople are not those who yammer away at the prospect with a megaphone, talking incessantly about their products and services. Instead, it's the person who listens to the prospect's pain points and challenges, showing understanding by articulating the problem and painting a picture of a solution before ever mentioning their own product.

Left to their own devices, buyers will engage with sellers well after the buyer has figured out what they want to buy, and from whom. We need to engage with them before they reach that point - "disrupting" their thinking, to "move the goalposts" more in a direction that leads to our unique strengths.
