15 Million Sales Jobs To Be Displaced By Technology
Gerhard Gschwandtner, CEO, Selling Power magazine and host of the Sales 2.0 conference says, “of the 18 million salespeople in the USA in 2011, less than 3 million will be needed for these jobs in 2020”. He says a new breed of salesperson will emerge that leverages technology to facilitate customer-driven buying cycles. He goes further to say that companies will also have to remake themselves to support these customer-driven cycles.
