The next normal for B2B sales is here, and there’s no looking back. According to management consulting firm McKinsey & Company, businesses are no longer cautiously testing the waters, incrementally (and sometimes reluctantly) inching their way online. The pressures from COVID-19 have accelerated the shift, and the rule of thirds for B2B sales—one-third in-person, one-third remote, and one-third online self-serve—has firmed up. Further, there are nuances within the rule of thirds, and customer loyalty is waning. To stay ahead, businesses will have to remain flexible and dynamic to satisfy the needs of their customers.
