You're famished and someone suggests that you go on a 2-day fast! You're late, it's a two-hour ride by car to your destination and someone suggests that you walk! You're exhausted and ready for a nap and someone suggests you should clean our your basement! You've decided to eat better and lay-off carbs, and someone suggests ordering pizza!

Of all the changes in selling over the last decade and a half, the changes on the buyer’s side may be the most disruptive. No doubt that some part of that change belongs to the proliferation of information available via the internet. However, another, and I would argue, a more important change is how difficult it is for buyers to make decisions, partly due to the need to acquire consensus and the difficulty in doing so.

Even media sellers who are skilled at talking about price and removing surprises throughout the sales process can encounter objections.

One of the biggest challenges organizations face (always) is aligning marketing and sales. In truth, only a fourth believe they’ve achieved it. Perhaps alignment isn’t the real issue, though.
