999: How Important are Sellers in Today's Sales Environment? with Howard Brown and Ralph Barsi
Howard Brown (Founder and CEO at Revenue.io) and Ralph Barsi (Vice President of Global Inside Sales at Tray.io). Together and separately these two are some of my favorite guests. On today's episode we ponder the question, how important are sellers in today's sales environment? It's tempting to underestimate the importance of the credibility and trust that sellers develop with buyers. And how decisive that is in the buyer's decision making. Plus, we talk about win rates as a key metric in sales. Some sales bosses don't believe win rate is an important metric. Others think that's crazy. We get into it why.
