“57% of the B2B sales process is already over, before a decision maker contacts a sales representative.” (Roland Berger GmbH 2015)

This is the result of a current study by Roland Berger Consulting and Google, who interviewed 2.745 sales manager in the B2B business of mid-sized companies in Germany.

When I started my professional career back in 1998 within the sales department of Hewlett-Packard Company, the core challenge was to be recognized by our customers and obtain a key position within the customers preferred vendor list.

That hasn‘t changed.

But the customers are changing the game and are no longer willing to wait until the vendors contact them. They search the Internet, exchange experiences with other experts online and expect that vendors provide valueable information and services 24 hours at 365 days a year.

This means, that our customers expect us to be

DIGITAL
CLASSIC
INTEGRATED

in our communication.
