"Business People buy from Business People; not just Sales People."

According to a Forrester report, only 27% of buyers find that salespeople finace.pngare knowledgeable about the buyer's specific business. Additionally, Corporate Visions determined that customers believe that sales reps are 88% knowledgeable on products and only 24% on business expertise.
