DUBLIN, IRELAND and SAN JOSE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- Nov 08, 2017 -- Altify, the sales transformation software company, today announced the availability of a new book -- Digital Sales Transformation In a Customer First World by Altify executive chairman, Donal Daly. The book provides insights from over 30 years of sales leadership and technology experience and offers actionable advice for creating deep and productive customer relationships, at a time when customer expectations have altered. Donal will be signing books and answering questions at a public event at Novela at 662 Mission St, in San Francisco on Nov. 6, 2017 at 7:00PM.
Donal has written about sales and technology since 1988, and his books Account Planning in Salesforce, and Tomorrow | Today: How AI Impacts How We Work, Live And Think, are consistently ranked among the best-selling business books. Digital Sales Transformation In a Customer First World addresses how to use technology in sales and how to sell to customers whose needs and expectations have changed in the digital age. The book outlines how to shift sales strategy to deliver greater customer value to grow revenue, counters common misconceptions about customer needs, and shows how good salespeople do more than communicate value; they also create it.
The foreword to Digital Sales Transformation In a Customer First World was written by Mike Rosenbaum, EVP CRM Apps, Salesforce, who wrote:
"The forward thinking companies that put customers first are setting a new standard that their competitors must compete with ... Almost every company that I meet with wants to digitally transform but faces trade-offs. But I urge every single one of them -- and you -- to get started. Now. Today."
