Virtual Selling: Interacting with Current and Prospective Customers

Virtual selling has been a part of what sales professionals do, for a long time.  “Snail Mail”, the telephone, conference calls and email, have been and continue to be key tools for establishing and maintaining customer relationships.  With the onset of the global pandemic, virtual tools have become the mainstay for keeping current customers, finding new customers and growing any business.   

Many sales teams have adopted activities for the pandemic period with the view that things will return to a situation resembling a pre-pandemic normal.  However, progressive teams have figured out that greater effectiveness in virtual selling will be a requirement for growth-oriented companies and their salespeople, in the future. Properly planned and executed virtual selling approaches will significantly enhance sales coverage and results, while offering buyers the speed of response and experiences they increasingly demand.
