Why a Proven Sales Methodology is a Roadmap to Success
Since Covid-19 hit in 2020, a tremendous amount of change has happened to the buying and selling process. In the wake of the pandemic, 90% of sales leaders reported some or significant change to their sales organizations, with much of it expected to stick. Changes in sales cycles, along with hesitation in decision-making, have affected the length of time to close sales. 70% of sales organizations reported longer sales cycles for new clients, and just over half (53%) stated that the sales cycle is longer for existing clients, compared with the time prior to COVID-19. Worse still, only 48% of deals closed as originally forecast, compared with 69% prior to COVID-19.
