In February 2015 I was was asked to present at the Sales Conference SELL for Success in Melbourne covering the topic: “Technology Revolution – the digital disturb changing sales processes forever“.
I spoke about areas of technology which I see have already and will in the future effect the way the role of sales management is performed. Obviously this involved discussing “the cloud”, but I dug deeper into the specifics affecting sales, in particular:
- Access from anywhere at any time
- Mobility
- Intra & Inter company connectivity
- Chunkification
- Zero Entry
- Big Data
- Social
I closed my presentation with my 5 predictions for future tends in technology:
- The word Cloud disappearing from marketing and tech speak
- Desegregation of technology market
- The Automation of Everything
- The rise and rise of Artificial Intelligence
- Life Management / non-social media
Only time will prove me right or wrong…
