For sales professionals, the ability to work on the go is essential. In this regard, digital tools are now indispensable. And faced with changes in organization and practices accelerated by the pandemic, the sales function is undergoing a transformation, requiring those who perform it to acquire new skills in order to remain effective.

An essential evolution in a rapidly changing environment

To meet consumers’ demand for immediacy and adapt to changes driven by shifting behaviors and health requirements, the digitalization of businesses is accelerating. Sales professionals can no longer do without digital tools. A CRM allows them to manage all activity more efficiently, from prospecting to closing deals and beyond, including follow-up and after-sales service. Furthermore, with the rise of remote work and more flexible organizational models, videoconferencing tools like Zoom, collaborative project management platforms like Slack, and similar solutions have become essential.

Another significant shift relates to information, which is now available through various online resources:

Company websites
Social media
Trade press
Price comparison platforms
Forums
Customer review and rating sites
Etc.

As a result, internet users can now inform themselves in a completely autonomous way.

Sales professionals must therefore find a new added value, which has considerably transformed their role. They are no longer simple sellers, but advisors. They must provide customers with a solution to a specific problem, spark interest in a product or service amid the many alternatives the market offers, and build customer loyalty. In short, it falls to them to establish, maintain, and develop the customer relationship, with one additional challenge: distance.

New skills and qualities to develop a hybrid profile

Today, sales professionals must support the marketing team in communicating with prospects and customers in various ways:

Providing additional information on previous posts
Responding to comments
Sharing customer testimonials
Promoting a product or an event
…

Their contributions help build a positive brand image, strengthen credibility, and thereby generate trust and engagement within the community.

For this reason, mastery of editorial techniques is becoming essential: finding compelling topics, scheduling publications, choosing formats, ensuring the quality of written content, and so on. And while digital solutions for sales professionals and other specialized tools are a great help, they are not sufficient on their own.

To develop the hybrid profile their profession now demands, these professionals must also strengthen other qualities, such as adaptability and speed of reaction, and acquire skills in digital marketing and communication, team management, and project management, among others. All of these challenges call for appropriate training programs.
