The in-person buying and selling experience usually goes something like this: You show up to your buyer's office, where they greet you and offer you coffee. You accept, and walk together to the kitchen, discussing your trip in and how the day's going. You chat around the coffee pot for a few minutes about the local restaurant you visited last night.

Digital selling is powered by information. Information drives virtually every process associated with the movement of product from concept and market to the customer’s own operation. At each step along the product developmental cycle—throughout its active sales life and during the sunsetting of the product—data derived from multiple sources will help make all the critical decisions in terms of extending or expanding and slowing or stopping the development of that product.
