In the world of B2B sales, buying groups have become more complex and harder to navigate. The lay of the land seemingly changes at every turn! How are we, as sellers, to identify and engage the right people?
Gartner tells us that buyers will only spend 17% of their evaluation time meeting with potential vendors. The rest of their time is spent on independent research and consulting with peers. Therefore, when a salesperson does secure time with buyers, they had better engage with relevance. Also, it’s just as important to identify and connect with the right people in a buying group at the right time. With so little face time with the buyer, how can anyone do this effectively enough to ensure they don’t get whacked from behind in the 11th hour?
