1. Sales Disruption: CRM is no longer enough

CRM is no longer enough. Discover the disruption of sales force automation to a more AI and data-driven platform. Relationship selling is less about CRM technology and more about data and artificial intelligence (AI), orchestration, and customer experience.

2. The impact of event-driven sales processes

As B2B buyer demand for personalized and relevant information increases, organizations have the opportunity to gain a competitive edge by investing in data-driven technologies to inform and empower sellers.

5. Centering your strategy around relationships
