Shorten the B2B sales cycle with Linkando Playbooks
Is your sales cycle too long? If you sell a B2B product, then the answer is most likely "Yes!" The main problem in B2B sales is the lack of understanding on the seller side for the buyer side. Sellers can't change the processes on the buyer side, but they can change their own sales processes. To shorten sales cycles, sales leaders need to create a better understanding of the buyer side.
Why is digital transformation so difficult?
More and more buyers want to buy digitally, but sellers are finding the switch to digital sales difficult. Digital tools are both the solution and the problem. In order to successfully master the digital transformation in B2B sales, companies must first and foremost adapt their structures and processes to the challenges of modern sales.
