Sales Strategy

Strategy is your path to the President's Club.

Ever heard a word so many times it becomes completely meaningless? Welcome to “strategy” in enterprise sales. But strategy is much more than just a buzzword.

Sellers who build strategies based on a clear understanding of their customers’ needs close bigger, better deals. And those who aren’t strategic? Well, a Google search can fill in a buyer’s blanks just the same.
