Forrester forecasts that 1 million US B2B salespeople will lose their jobs to self-service eCommerce by the year 2020. B2B buyers now favor do-it-yourself online options for researching and buying products and services, and they are demanding that B2B sellers fully enable those digital paths.
However, B2B sellers still often force buyers to interact with their salespeople offline as part of the purchase process. This Webinar describes how and why B2B eBusiness & Channel Strategy Professionals must radically transform their historical sales models to accommodate a real-time and global buying environment where websites, not salespeople, are at the heart of how B2B companies buy and sell.
Agenda:
- How B2B Buyer Preferences Have Fundamentally Shifted
- How And Why We Forecast That 1 Million B2B Salespeople Will Be Displaced By 2020
- How B2B Companies Must Respond To The Changing B2B Buyer Landscape By Implementing Digitally Enabled Selling Models
Key takeaways:
- Recalibrate your B2B buyer preferences for when to interact with B2B sales reps, and when not to.
- Reconsider your offline-centric selling model in favor of a digital-first omnichannel selling model.
