See what the future of selling looks like in an increasingly digital market.
Data gathered for LinkedIn’s 2022 State of Sales report shows that the actions of top performing sellers are paving a better pathway to selling the way buyers want to buy. Top performers use technology, yes, but they don’t use it to simply knock on more doors. Instead they use it to knock on the right doors, finding the welcoming buyers and delivering the right message at the right time.
AI-powered CRM solutions - like Microsoft's Dynamics 365 - can help solve common challenges that impact your ability to be more informed about your buyers and revolutionise your ability to close more deals efficiently.
