The Art of Sales is changing

The concept of selling has been around for decades, but businesses are digital now. The way sales are conducted must modernize too.

In most companies, sales teams are somewhere on the journey below:

• Sale scratches out their own leads by prospecting their networks, sending one-off or batch emails.
• Marketing turns over long lists of leads, which are typically contacts in your target audience
• Marketing has established a repeated process of generating MQL, SAL & SQL that yield some measurable returns. They sometime add lead scoring to this mix.
