Sometimes it may be a ploy used by the customer, to either boost their own ego or to bypass the stringent processes the company use decide the supplier list they are going to use.

Think about how it would feel to give the same amount of effort and earn two, three, or many more times as much.

Worse than this, they face a mountain to climb every day concerning trust. People just don’t believe them because of the endless spin, broken promises, reannouncing old policies, and the disingenuous way in which they drive agenda

Sales onboarding – every company does it, but few do it as well as they’d like. According to a report from The Sales Management Association, 62% of companies consider themselves to be ineffective at onboarding. When sales onboarding is ineffective, the costs are high – not only for the sales department but for the entire organization: Underprepared sales reps can damage your business reputation and may not sell to buyers the way they like to be sold to.
