SalesTech Quote-of-the-Week!

It’s important to remember that on the opposite end of every deal is another human who is simply trying to succeed at their jobs, just like you. B2B sales is really about the person on the other side and how you communicate and relate to them. Human-centric soft skills, like empathy, storytelling, and active listening, are critical to building strong relationships with customers.

– Monica Lewis, VP of Product Management at LinkedIn
