Panel Discussion: Has Sales Lost Its Way and What Does it Take to Succeed Today? (Note: event time zone/date is Australia ET)

SPECIAL EVENT: Australian-based Experts Weigh-in On This Important Topic! 

So much has changed in sales, it can be hard to keep up. The salesperson used to be the sole source of product information for a prospect, but now a prospect knows all about the product–and has made at least a partial buying decision–before contacting a sales rep. It is said by some that artificial intelligence is going to replace a great many sales positions and millions of jobs will be lost. And where it used to be personal, salespeople are having to cope today with selling in a virtual world. Has sales lost its way with all these changes? What does it take to succeed as a salesperson today? Find out! Join our panel of experts along with host John Golden.

Note the different timezones that our webinar takes place in:

Australia – January 17th at 10am AEDT.

United States – January 16th at 3pm PST.
