Quote:
“…seeing a doubling of call volume over the next few years into inside sales organizations … driven by this phenomenon of the mobile device.” – Irv Shapiro
Story:
Though a lot of transactions in your world today are probably 100% online, many (especially the higher value ones) require at least one phone call between your company and your prospective buyer. Whether inbound or outbound, getting someone to go from a browser of your website to a live telephone call is a critical conversion point in the sales cycle.
Dominick and guest Irv Shapiro talk about how the increase in mobile device use is swinging the pendulum of human buying behavior back toward the telephone and how you can make sure you are ready to provide and sell.
