Chicago, IL – The next Chicago Sales Leadership Community meeting will be Friday, September 28th at DePaul University’s Center for Sales Leadership. The meeting will include networking, a panel discussion, and open question and answer time. Customers are taking longer to make buying decisions. Customers decision making often involves a team of stakeholders. These decision-making teams are getting larger and include both formal and informal members. Please join the Chicago Sales Leadership Community meeting as executive sales leaders from the community share insights and perspectives they have on ways their companies are successfully adapting to this changing buyer behavior. You will leave the meeting with approaches you can use to better align the sales process to the customer buying process.
