At Sales Geek, we are on a mission to change the way the world perceives sales, and the insights from the latest research only strengthen our resolve. 🌐 The State of the Sales Profession The sales landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and shifting skill requirements. According to Warwick Business School, 73% of sales leaders agree that the skills needed for successful selling will change significantly in the next five years. But here’s the challenge: • only 4% believe AI will not impact sales roles. • 64.9% emphasise the importance of formal sales qualifications. • Only a slight increase in availability of these qualifications is expected, signaling a blind spot in preparation for the future. 📉 Will There Be Fewer Sales Jobs? While there’s ambivalence about whether the number of sales jobs will decline, one thing is clear: the way we sell is changing. Sales professionals must adapt to these shifts or risk being left behind. 📚 The Key Takeaway: Qualifications and training must anticipate the future—not just the tools we use, but how we manage constant change and develop critical adaptability skills. At Sales Geek, we’re not just watching these trends—we’re leading the charge. If you’re a sales leader or business owner looking to future-proof your team with innovative training and strategies, let’s start the conversation.

Looking back on our successful collaboration with Leicester City Council through NBV Enterprise Solutions Ltd, we're reminded of the key principles we shared on the psychology of selling, understanding your customer, and building a robust sales engine. These aren’t just theories—they're practical tools you can apply right now to drive growth. Have you ever wondered if your sales engine is really running at full throttle? 🤔 Maybe it is, or maybe it isn’t. Honestly, we can’t say for sure without diving in and having a proper look. But if the idea of missing out on potential revenue has you waking up in the middle of the night, it’s worth thinking about, right? At Sales Geek East Midlands, we believe your sales engine should work for you, not the other way around. During the course, we uncovered hidden gaps that could be costing you opportunities—so what’s next? We’re offering discovery calls to help uncover hidden opportunities in your sales engine. Whether you choose to work with us or not is totally up to you. But, sometimes the biggest risks are the ones you don’t see coming. Feel curious? Drop us a message to book a session. It’s your move now. 👇 #SalesStrategy #BusinessGrowth #LeicesterBusinesses
