The Hunter has Become the Hunted...
“The hunter has become the hunted. Buyers are more informed and seek
information independent of sales. They have access to overwhelming amounts of
information, but seek intelligence they can trust to support their decision making
process.How sales people want to sell has little impact on how buyers choose to buy.
The knowledge driven buyer has raised the bar for sales people to be more informed and
better prepared to bring value to the interaction”

Vendors cannot hope to win over this new generation of highly-informed buyers simply by “selling harder”
B2B vendors have to learn to sell and market smarter, and to focus their energies on understanding and facilitating their prospects’ decision making process ...
... by developing a heightened capability to help their prospects make sense of their choices and enabling them to solve their most pressing business problems

TRENDS
What are the key trends affecting your prospect’s most important
markets? What effect is legislation, competition, new
technology or structural change having on their business? How is their competitive position being
affected?
What are the most common trigger events - both inside and
outside their company - that might cause your prospects to
suddenly recognise that the status quo no longer prevails,
and that they may need to take action as a result?
