The Rise of Accidental Salespeople

Bill and Bryan explore a growing trend that's reshaping the sales landscape: the rise of "accidental salespeople." These are the technical advisors, project managers, engineers, and executives who don't have "salesperson" on their business cards but find themselves increasingly vital to the buyer-seller relationship.

The guys discuss why these technically-minded professionals are becoming more important than ever, especially as traditional SDR/BDR approaches burn out prospects with low response rates. They argue that it's often easier to teach technical people the 20% of sales skills they need than to teach salespeople deep technical expertise.
