The economy is evolving, the customer is evolving, and your sales strategy needs to evolve with them.

40% of the Fortune 500 from the year 2000 were absent from the Fortune 500 in 2015, precisely because they failed to evolve. Today's sales environment is very much a keep up or get left behind paradigm, but you need to do better to excel. Hacking Sales shows you how to get ahead of everyone else with focused effort and the most effective approach to modern sales.
