Sales Podcast: What Trends are Going to Affect Salespeople in the Future?

by Bill Caskey on September 18, 2008

Over the last few weeks, Bill and Bryan have been working on this idea of “What trends are going to affect salespeople in the future?” As they started to outline the things they were seeing in the market, they thought it would be useful to have a podcast focused on that. Now, we must tell you that this podcast is about 30 minutes (longer than our normal episodes). But they felt the information here is vital for a sales team and salespeople to know as they pursue new business in the future. The key element of all this is that if you’re not watching trends, then they can slip up on you and pass you by. So, if your sales and revenues are not where they need to be or could be, then you might be a victim of old thinking.

OK - Sales people will NEVER BECOME EXTINCT - there will always be “old school sales” and the “young bucks”. The “old school” types will just die off, replaced by the new blood, who will some day be old school.

But perhaps there just won’t be as many sales people around. Maybe we are witnessing the beginning of the “stratification of people who sell”.

Maybe, we are seeing a two level caste system developing:

Transactional and Expertise

I like both of youse(?) ideas on the future - with all the “technology” angles and the human touch as well….good show.

You gotta love a podcast that can use a word like “Disintermediated” followed up with a phrase like “bladie-blah”.
