The Rise of "Non-Sales" Selling

People spend about 40% of their time at work engaged in non-sales selling - persuading, influencing, and convincing others in ways that don't involve anyone making a purchase. Across a range of professionals, we are devoting roughly 24 minutes of every hour to moving others to act.

In partnership with Southern Glazer Wine Spirits.
