Barriers to innovation in sales and how to break them down
Why are most companies failing to harness the potential of new technologies in sales, wasting money and missing opportunities for growth?
Discover what is blocking your sales from achieving higher efficiency and better results. Eliminate these barriers with expert knowledge!
About the conference
Why hasn't the investment in sales training and the explosive growth of technology over the past decade resulted in greater sales effectiveness for most companies? Because companies have focused more on scaling than on improving sales team operations - that's the paradox today, according to Howard Dover, a professor and sales technologist.
Vendors focus on doing more - sending more emails with offers, calling more customers and using more outreach channels instead of improving the quality of their efforts. They focus on quantity rather than quality, bombarding already overtired customers with information noise.
How to liberate sales from the vicious circle and use the potential of technology to increase its efficiency, so that it brings real profits instead of being a waste of money and resources? This is what you will learn at the conference with Howard Dover!
