Here are a few key takeaways that are most important from this article and specifically this section of the article.
- “Sales is the least technology enabled job function out there,” This is a direct quote from the article.
- Spending per employee is on a trajectory to exceed $10,000 in technology and related services and support
- CFO’s are reallocating budgets from sales travel, real estate and other budgets to spend more on equipping front-facing team to book more meetings and win more deals.
- Companies are currently looking to equip front line team members similarly to how production, finance and warehouse workers have been digitally equipped.
- Sales have been flat and declining because sales professionals have not be properly equipped with digital tools to do their jobs well.

This is one of the best articles I have read in awhile on revenue operations. It is spot on with its message and helping companies create vision for navigating digital and moving to fully equip the front line teams with what they need to be successful.
