Taking the Lead in strategic sales

Successfully navigating complex procurement process poses a greater challenge than ever for sales teams. As prospects’ requests for information and data increase, sales teams are struggling to know how to respond and cope.

Although it’s tempting to point the finger at procurement teams and demand that they stop ‘moving the goalposts’, a more productive approach is to develop insights into their new thought processes. Procurement teams are working ever closely with their stakeholders, re-examining the fundamentals of why they are buying goods and services, and using these to shape their sourcing strategies. If we are to optimise conversions, it’s critical for sales teams to gain insight into how this is being done.
