Predicting The Future Of B2B Marketing: 3 Things To Watch For In 2020
The future of marketing is an endlessly fascinating topic. After all, who doesn't want to know the future?

"Yet while predicting the future is interesting, there's no denying that it's also a serious business. Whether or not your team accurately predicts the market can determine which business ideas succeed and which fail, where money is invested, and who keeps their jobs.The allusions to crystal balls and marketing in outer space are fun (I just built a whole site with sea creatures in outer space - trust me, I believe in having fun), but the fact remains that the stakes are high..."

Those who have never experienced failed sales calls are at a distinct disadvantage to those who have

"B2B sales people, who have been around more than a few years, possess the huge advantage of having lived through both failures and successes.

What B2B Sales Managers Should Know Before Setting Sales Goals In 2020
There are numerous internal factors you first have to take into consideration: from future product development to sales performance this past year

"On top of that, you must consider what effect sales trends - aka external factors - will have in 2020. Not only should these sales trends influence the sales goals you actually set, but they'll also play a role in achieving your goals.
For example, sales reps acting as trusted advisors promises to be a major sales trend in 2020. If your goals for the year are product-centric, you'll have a harder time hitting targets because potential customers are more interested in your advice and insights..."

Are Managers Leaders?
The Number One problem in organizations today is not a 'lack of leadership.' It is untrained people managers -John G. Miller

We have shared that 'Leaders want their organization to LEARN, so it can GROW, Enabling a TRANSFORMATION, Resulting in stronger RESULTS'. Having said that, is it limited to 'leaders' or does it also apply to 'managers'? It does indeed apply to both!
