The Importance of a CEO-Driven Sales Strategy

This week on the SBI Sales and Marketing podcast, we spoke with Chris Cole, CEO of Intelligrated, about the role the CEO plays in the development of the sales strategy.

In our first segment, Chris shares how he managed to gain success and revenue with his company during a difficult economic cycle by listening to customers and crafting products and services that helped his customers succeed. He also discusses how strategically aligning your sales strategy to your customer needs is essential to your overall strategy development.

Next, Chris shares with us how he and his company differentiate themselves from others by offering more to their customer than just the product itself. In many ways, his team acts as strategic business consultants to their clients and, in return, they witness a very high percentage of repeat customers.

In our last segment, Chris discusses why developing a successful sales strategy requires the perspective of internal and external resources.
