How To: Build Impressive Skills For Selling AI and IoT
Thursday, December 12, 2019 | 2 PM EDT
The days when a salesperson could close a sale with a "speeds and feeds" presentation and win the sale are long gone. Unfortunately, for many salespeople don't know that there is an alternative. For those that do know, the marketplace is littered with numerous sales methodologies, which results into 'placing a square peg into a round hole' scenario. Salespersons know they need to advocate "value," but the path to that end is unclear. This problem is further exacerbated if you are selling AI and IoT solutions.
Sorry to burst your bubble but there is no 'magic silver bullet sales methodology' that will work for everybody. Why you ask? Because methodologies are situational and the dynamics of every sales organization, sales teams and their customers are different. However, there are a few golden rules, one of the most important of these is ensuring that your salespeople have the right mix of skills and mindsets.
Want to find out more about what these awesome skills are? Join us in this webinar, where we will share our learnings and insights from our various IoT and AI Silver Brandon Hall Group Excellence Award winning sales transformation programs for sales success.

Microsoft Excel is probably the most well-known tool for working with data. Almost everybody knows about it. We all have our love-hate relationship with tables, pivots, VBA-scripts and charts have been part of business landscape since 1987. Even the word “Excel” has been a synonym for “table” or a set of “tables”. Even your grandmother has used it, e.g. “Dearie, please send the Excel with the guests for my 80th birthday!”. Even glancing at earlier releases of Excel, it looks on the whole notmuch has changed and it still familiar with its grids and sheets.
But wait. Data Science in Excel? Isn’t data science all about Jupyter notebooks in the web browser? Data lakes and Hadoop in the Cloud? Deep Learning on the GPU? At its core, data science is the study of data: it involves developing methods of recording, storing, and analyzing data to effectively extract useful information. So, the goal of data science is to gain insights and knowledge from any type of data –both structured and unstructured. Well guess what, Excel already does some of that today. In fact, Excel is an excellent tool for 2D data that’s out there.
