We had an #Awesome session yesterday, August 30 2011 @Dreamforce. I presented together with @scottiholden @leeodden @karlgoldfield and @natespeak all of whom inspired the audience with the future of sales. IT was a real pleasure to work with these amazing people.
Not too long ago, Sales success was the result of a (rather mystical) combination of networking, people skills, intuition, and good ol’ cold calling.
But the advancement in enterprise technology over the past two decades has changed all that, especially in the B2B environment. Today, networking takes place online, technical skills are becoming more valuable than people skills, data has replaced the ‘hunch’, and automation is threatening to shrink the job market.
But while technology seems to have made selling harder, it has certainly made buying easier. Which, when you think about it, is exactly what Sales and Marketing are trying to do.
Luckily, Sales professionals are known for their ability to adapt. The Sales department is often the first in a business to embrace new technology, find better ways of doing things, and cut unnecessary tasks.
It was Sales, after all, who first embraced cloud technology (CRM was the first viable cloud application for business). And Sales who played a huge role in the consumerization of IT, by insisting on bringing their own devices to work.
The internet, SEO and ferocious content marketing have put a wealth of information at the buyer’ fingertips. And in many cases, have made Sales all but redundant until the final stages of the buying process.
Now, Sales needs to lead the charge once again – accepting the changes that technology brings, and making the most of their new situation.

ROI & Social webinar with Craig Rosenberg & Jason MillerViralheat
Listen to Topo Co-Founder Craig Rosenberg and LinkedIn Senior Manager of Content Marketing & Social present on social media, ROI, and how to leverage the emerging technology to increase leads and turn them into transactions.
The theme of the 2014 MarketingProfs' B2B Marketing Forum is "Marketing For What Comes Next." Lee Odden of TopRank decided to ask some of the brightest minds in marketing to make predictions about where marketing is heading. What he got ranged from realistic to ridiculous, but all were packed with insight.
Getting a Competitive Advantage through Social Selling | #scon11 @sugarconInsideView
“Social media has become massively more important because customers have stopped listening to vendors and analyst/reviewers. Think about that. Most of your marketing and analyst relations and press relations are being trumped by customers talking to customers.”
Here's the hard truth about marketing: your customers are better at it than you. Over the past decade, marketers perfected content creation, but as a result, things got a lot more competitive for businesses and a lot more crowded for buyers. So while creating content is still your best and cheapest strategy, it should no longer be your only strategy. That's where your customers come in. Learn more.

It’s time for these organizations to implement a Social Selling culture before they get left behind.

The technologies and people we are designing experiences for are constantly changing, in most cases they are changing at a rate that is difficult keep up with. When we think about how our teams are structured and the design processes we use in light of this challenge, a new design problem (or problem space) emerges, one that requires us to focus inward. How do we structure our teams and processes to be resilient? What would happen if we looked at our teams and design process as IA’s, Designers, Researchers? What strategies would we put in place to help them be successful? This talk will look at challenges we face leading, supporting, or simply being a part of design teams creating experiences for user groups with changing technological needs.
