Technology Driving Radical Shift in Business Purchasing Behaviour
Marketing Expert Lisa Shepherd's New Book Defines New Era of B2B Growth
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 05/14/15 -- Technology has radically changed the way buyers make purchasing decisions, writes business-to-business marketing expert and author Lisa Shepherd in her new book, This shift in purchasing behaviour has fundamentally changed the way businesses need to sell their goods and services, Shepherd finds. The book draws on the experiences of more than 200 small and mid-sized companies in the business-to-business (B2B) space over the past 10 years.
"Companies have relied on salespeople to move their goods for more than 100 years," says Shepherd. "But today's tech-savvy buyer has taken control of the purchasing process and they now resist talking to salespeople until they've completed their own research and are confident about their options. That means marketing is now essential to getting the attention of buyers and driving revenue generation. For companies built on the use of tried and true sales techniques in the past, this is a radical shift."
In The Radical Sales Shift, Shepherd provides a practical guide to reaching this new buyer and a roadmap to revenue generation for companies in the B2B space. The book includes advice from 20 business leaders who have successfully navigated the new rules of B2B selling and buying. It also provides diagnostic tools to help organizations of all sizes assess their current sales and marketing capabilities.
"Because half of the buying process is completed before a buyer ever talks to anyone in sales, marketing is essential to putting the right interactions in place to reach the new buyer and increase sales," Shepherd says.
A for The Radical Sales Shift will be held in Toronto on May 27th at the Spoke Club, in which Mezzanine is . All marketers and B2B companies are welcome.
