Many issues that Chief Information Security Officers faced in 2015 will carry into 2016. The year 2016 will likely yield greater awareness of cybersecurity risks within executive and board ranks, and that awareness should drive CISOs to develop more appropriately-funded security programs that are threat-aware and business-focused.”.

By Tibor Shanto – tibor.shanto@sellbetter.ca . As we head to the finish line 0f 2015, there is a tendency among many in sales to maximize their “closing” activities. Spurred on by their managers to close business, sales people get distracted from executing on the entire cycle, and focus on the here and now, and sacrifice future opportunities. Balance is the key, if we focus only on the end of the year, we will pay for it at the start of the next year.

Customers want fresh ideas and creative insights for addressing a set of needs and opportunities that are both new and challenging. They expect sales reps to be knowledgeable about their industry, company, and issues at a higher level of proficiency than ever before. They expect insights not product pitches.
