These are critical skills distinguishing a top seller from an average one. Empowered buyers are demanding to be heard and to be challenged with new ideas and to have unique value created for them by sellers.

Forecasts were terrible.

Even when you offer a superior product, better service, or lower price than your competitors, mishandling objections can ruin your best deals at the eleventh hour.

There has been talk lately of the traditional sales funnel being outdated as it does not truly capture the way in which B2B customers interact with sellers today. It has been estimated that buyers are 57% through the buying process before they reach out to vendors and that during that buying process the average size of the purchasing group is now 5.4 people [CEB].
