B2B sales have changed—perhaps forever. Your sales reps have only about 5% of a customer’s time during their buying journey, according to Gartner. B2B sales are also much more complex and lengthy than those of the past, often taking months (even years) and numerous touchpoints to close. For today’s product marketers, creating content that supports this sales cycle has never been more challenging.

As anyone who has had a mentor will tell you, a mentor’s ability to shape and guide a career extends beyond the professional.

By Tibor Shanto. One of the hardest challenges salespeople face is an undifferentiated world is price. While all roads lead to price, the question is which road you choose, and how you get your prospect there. So, while price will always be a factor, you don’t have to be a hostage to it.

Too many organizations seem so focused on their own efficiency, mechanizing our process, and transactionalizing our engagement strategies.
