Sales Storytelling for Startups
Selling has Changed:
Chatbots, AI, machine learning — sales, like other industries, is changing rapidly because of technology. Just 25 years ago, a salesperson held all the information and as such — the power. Potential customers usually didn’t know more about something than the salesperson.
Today, thanks to the internet, buyers are empowered and sales teams must adjust. At the end of the day, sales people still need to nurture prospects, close deals, and hit quotas.
