Abstract
In this paper, we examine what changes have taken place in the B2B sales process due to the COVID-19 pandemic and what sales skills tomorrow's salespersons are required to have. The reference framework is the seven optimization opportunities for strengthening sales and growth in Danish companies that the project Tomorrow's Sales & Sales Management has identified (Bjerre, Jensen, & Lassen, 2020).
Our study was carried out partly through a literature review with literature from 2020-2021 in relation to sales processes and sales skills and partly through qualitative interviews with sellers, sales managers, and buyers. We have come up with eight main groups of competencies of decisive importance for tomorrow's salesperson.
