Machines do the work of the ordinary, so be extraordinary!
November 15, 2018Incubate Consulting’s Neil Brown considers what the sales profession of tomorrow demands today.
Some people just live for the moment. They enjoy the here and now, thinking little beyond ‘today’. Live it, love it, the past is past and the future, well… who knows right? Perhaps.
However, if you’re currently delivering in a traditional, multifaceted sales or business development role then you should probably know that you are almost certainly already at risk of becoming obsolete. Harsh I know, but rest assured, sometime soon, automisation in the form of an algorithm, voice/chatbot (with onboard sales navigator) will call your leadership team ready to ‘virtually assist’ with your removal.
Traditional commercial functions are fast converging and soon, marketing, comms, digi, data/analytics, customer ser/exp, pre-sales, lead gen, pursuit/capture, bids, tendering, closing and relationship mgt. to name a few will be streamlined and seamlessly integrated into a leaner, more focused, technology-enhanced, growth strategy.
So, stop and consider. Why try to be the ‘jack of all trades’ when smart technology-enhanced companies are already specifying ‘masters of one’. And the common trait these people they crave share? They are ‘Sophisticated Communicators’. Technology-empowered commercial minds with natural ability to deliver one component part of the sales process, brilliantly well, combined with the capability and know-how to reach and effect the people that matter.
The good news however, is that today, Incubate Consulting is working with a select group of progressive clients currently seeking such sophisticated communicators (with specialist business development skills and expertise) and they offer technology-driven platforms to help their people become the very embodiment of the future of the sales profession.
So, if you possess exceptional communication skills, currently engage effectively with clients via an omni-channel approach to developing business and you intuitively know where you would add value to a B2B solution provider…then I want to speak with you. It might be the first step you make towards assuring your future, today.
I’m currently recruiting multiple New Business Development professionals (deal closers) across the West of Scotland for a hugely progressive organisation that lives and breathes innovation.
Salary 32-40k plus car/cash & OTE of 55k in year 1 raising to 75k+ in year 2
