This document discusses strategies for sales organizations to engage customers earlier in the buying process when customer needs are still being defined. It finds that customers now do much of their own research before engaging suppliers, often completing over half the purchase decision process alone. It identifies four behaviors of top sales performers: 1) conducting non-traditional customer due diligence, 2) personally owning lead generation, 3) leading with insights that challenge customer assumptions, and 4) using social media as an influential channel. These "challenger" representatives shape customer demand through pre-funnel engagement like teaching, rather than just reacting to defined needs. The key is for sales to teach customers where they learn during early needs assessment.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
