About this Event:
Founders, investors, and experienced CEOs know that sales is vital to successful ventures, and that selling is changing. But the impact on business development of new buying processes, data, and technologies is often misunderstood. In this webinar, Frank Cespedes can help you to separate signal from noise in thinking about the impact of changing selling requirements on starting and scaling ventures. His new book, Sales Management That Works: How to Sell in a World That Never Stops Changing (Harvard Business Review Press, 2021) provides research, diagnostics, and insights on core aspects of sales models including hiring, training, compensation, pricing, managing a multichannel approach, and how to evaluate the many predictions (usually unsupported by data) about post-Covid “new normals.”
