CustomerThink, the world’s largest online community focused on Customer-centric Business Management, will conduct Sales Edge Summit 2010 on Oct. 5-7, 2010.
This virtual Summit will feature B2B sales thought leaders from the Founders Council of CustomerThink’s new SalesEdgeOne community. The purpose of the event is to share insights on how to close more sales with buyers empowered by the Social Web. Registration is free at www.salesedgeone.com/summit/sales_edge_2010.
Highly interactive panel discussions will explore the top issues for sales leaders. For example, the opening session on “How Sales Strategy Must Adapt to Customer 2.0” will feature Sales 2.0 expert Anneke Seley of Phone Works. Seley will discuss how technology has changed how customers buy: “Customers expect sales people to provide information relevant to their business, not just product pitches. I look forward to sharing both customer and sales perspectives on Sales 2.0 strategies and best practices.”
The Summit is primarily intended for sales managers and executives responsible for business-to-business (B2B) selling. Content will be relevant for B2B selling in a variety of industries including high tech, financial services, manufacturing, professional services, and wholesale distribution.
SalesEdgeOne (www.salesedgeone.com) was recently launched with the support of a Founders Council of 16 sales experts, chaired by Andy Rudin, Managing Principal of Outside Technologies. “Our SalesEdgeOne community is dedicated to providing innovative solutions for emerging sales challenges. I cannot think of a better investment for sales success than attending Sales Edge Summit 2010.”
