Sales management: organizing and managing sales networks. Innovation and new technologies
22 January 2024In recent years, the world of sales has been deeply influenced by new technologies on marketing, supply chain and management of all company’s commercial activities.
Automated processes, improved productivity and rapid data analysis have enabled the customization of offerings, definitely putting the consumer at the core of the entire process: from product creation to its sale.
AI has also improved the quality of lead management, enabling sellers to identify new customers and better manage leads. The analysis of historical data, the identification of buying behaviors, the automation of follow-up processes and, most importantly, the introduction of chatbots have empowered companies to offer high-quality 24/7 support services without the need for human staff.
Using big Data and predictive analytics, identifying buying patterns and trends, predicting needs, and thus adapting sales strategies are, with the growth of e-commerce and the spread of digital platforms, the building blocks of a revolution that has involved the sales departments of every company in recent years.
Today’s sellers must be able to handle the requirements and opportunities brought by new technologies. It is necessary to stay up-to-date and anticipate potential changes to have a major impact on one’s business.
