Topics to be discussed by expert speakers at the Sales 3.0 Conference in Philadelphia on June 19 include new trends in sales enablement, sales coaching, and sales training. Speakers will also address the implications of artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and more.

Organizers of the Sales 3.0 Conference today announced a proactive agenda for its upcoming Sales 3.0 Conference in Philadelphia on June 19. Speakers will focus on the most critical changes facing the sales profession today; the theme of the conference is Sales Innovation and Digital Transformation in 2018. More details can be found at https://www.sales30conf.com/Philadelphia2018/.

The agenda addresses such topics as artificial intelligence (AI) for sales, as well as the latest best practices for training, hiring, coaching, and enabling B2B sales teams in a digital age.

According to Sales 3.0 Conference host and Selling Power magazine founder Gerhard Gschwandtner, B2B sales leaders need to face the reality that the profession continues to experience profound shifts. He has recommended that sales leaders immediately take steps to increase sales by 200 percent and cut headcount by 20 percent in the next two to three years.

Says Gschwandtner: “We will see three million sales jobs disappear in the next 10 years as companies continue to adopt new technologies – like automation, AI, and cognitive computing – to accomplish simple and routine tasks currently being performed by humans.”

Other speakers, including Elay Cohen, CEO of SalesHood, will address these pressing challenges and offer expert advice on how to succeed. Presentations will include the following:
