London-based PG3 believes that for those struggling to set their own goals understanding the upcoming trends of the year can help to determine goals and actions that will need to be taken. Here, the firm reveals the upcoming sales trends that are expected to drive success in 2017:

Evolving sales roles
Today there are three roles in sales which include: the order taker, the salesperson, and the subject matter expert. The first role, order taker, is someone who simply takes orders and fulfils customer requests. A salesperson is someone who believes their job is to sell what their company offers to anyone who will buy it. However, the subject matter expert will have enough expertise that a consumer would be willing to pay for a meeting with them. PG3 feels it is important to develop all salespeople into subject matter experts.

Subject Matter Experts become the new rainmakers
Subject Matter Experts bring high credibility and high integrity but sometimes struggle in the follow through process. This is where businesses must support their subject matter experts with a team who can manage the sales process. PG3 states that businesses must implement systems to guide subject matter experts through the sales steps.

The sales process has changed for buyers
The sales process works differently for buyers; in between every step and interaction with sales teams they are performing their own research. This may bring up concerns for the buyer. “If you are not addressing these concerns and not answering the buyers’ questions then be prepared for one of your competitors to do this. This will have a huge impact on their decision-making process,” revealed PG3.
