Will B2B sales professionals have jobs in ten or fifteen years?
Business leaders Mitch Little and Hendre Coetzee say yes - but only if sales professionals adapt to the changing ways of doing business and reaching customers.
In Shiftability, Mitch and Hendre identify six core shifts in mindset that sales professionals should adopt to achieve success. For example, use complexity as a way to develop opportunity and view tension in business as a tool to make needed changes. It's a fresh approach that will result in better relationships with customers and increase sales.
“Any effective and lasting change in skill set must first begin with an equally fundamental shift in mindset. And in Shiftability, Mitch Little and Hendre Coetzee offer sales professionals a practical, step-by-step guide for first acknowledging and then achieving that shift.”
