DoubleDigit Sales Report Reveals Sales Culture is in Trouble
TORONTO, Aug. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - A 'Sales Culture Effectiveness Report' released by DoubleDigit Sales shows the percentage of salespeople making quota is at its lowest point since the Great Recession.
With too-long sales cycles, difficulties generating qualified leads and a flooded digital market, sales organizations are struggling.
"Ask any sales leader how selling has changed in the past decade, and you'll hear one recurring theme: It's a lot harder," says the Harvard Business Review.
DoubleDigit Sales points to trends behind these barriers like new technology.
"Thousands of apps now exist to help salespeople research, track, and contact buyers across media channels. One small problem: everyone is using them. Buyers are flooded with messages, making it tough to stand out," the report reads.
