Sustainability in sales is more than just driving an electric car and saving paper.
That's just the surface.
True sustainability in sales is a complete revolution in thinking. A farewell to the short-term deal at any price.
For almost 30 years, we have observed how salespeople burn contacts and resources just to achieve quarterly targets.
They chase after the fast euro and leave scorched earth in their wake.
That is the opposite of sustainable.
Anyone who still relies on aggressive cold calling and manipulative tactics is robbing their own future and that of their company.
We have some very good news: Technology, used correctly, can save us.
✅ Efficiency instead of exploitation: an intelligent CRM helps us to identify and approach the right customers instead of bothering hundreds of unsuitable contacts. This not only spares the customer's nerves, but also the sales department's resources.
✅ Intelligence instead of mass: AI-supported tools can predict a customer's needs before they are even expressed. This enables us to be proactive and come up with relevant solutions instead of blindly shooting into the market and hoping for a chance hit.
✅ Relationship instead of transaction: when technology takes over the tedious routine tasks, we finally have time again for what really matters: real, human connections. Time to listen, understand and build trust.
The distributor of the future is not the one who shouts the loudest, but the one who acts the smartest.
He does not use technology to replace people, but to become more human.
