Future of Sales Teams
Sales teams are expected to shrink significantly, potentially by 10 to 20% in size compared to current levels. This shift is attributed to the realization that the top 10% of salespeople generate a staggering 90% of revenue. As the sales landscape becomes increasingly challenging, it's believed that many in the current generation may not be prepared for the heightened competition ahead. This underscores the need for a paradigm shift where fewer, more effective sales professionals focus on building long-term, non-transactional relationships with clients.
