We all know that making a sale is the act of exchanging a product or service in return for cash, but there is far more to selling than what meets the eye.

Author: Matt Kamp For B2B sales teams, referrals are worth their weight in gold.

That’s a huge jump.

Given the fact that most B2B sellers have less than a 50% close ratio, more like a 25% closing average, it is foolish to ignore your losses.

According to Gartner, 80% of B2B sales are expected to take place virtually by 2025. Here’s why: we are only one year into the pandemic and virtual sales calls and meetings have only just begun to feel slightly less awkward and less ineffective as at the start, for both buyers and sellers alike.
