Each challenge is designed to entertain as well as educate the audience about what it takes to succeed in a Sales 2.0 world. “Selling today is all about combining the right technology tools with advanced selling skills,” says Selling Power TV host Gerhard Gschwandtner. “Sales 2.0 tools provide the science, but fundamental personal selling skills are as important as ever in an age when customers have more choices.”
