From “wine and dine” to click and engage.
"Sales success is shifting from being measured in customer visits per field sales executive to digital offerings and engagement rates on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn".

“Old-day industry practices — like wining and dining — will not work anymore in the future, and not just related to COVID. Different ways of generating sales combined with a shift from social to technical skills are ahead.”

"Sales in this space is increasingly focusing on end-to-end customer touchpoints that shape the customer journey, from digital engagement and webinars and a clear brand identity on social media to the tracking of customer activities and online booking of logistics".
