There is a rule of 7 that states that someone has to see/hear something 7 times before it really has "sunk" in. Today we are doing just that. Here are the top 7 sales engagement blogs from 2016!
1. By Closing the Sales Engagement Gap - You Can Close More Sales
Do you have a gap in your sales cycle? If so, you’re not alone. In fact, research cites that 60% of buyers are disengaged from the sales process.

When gaps occur in your pipeline, it opens the door for competitors to steal prospects that have stalled in your sales cycle, and you risk losing the revenue you need to grow your business. Many businesses must compensate for these trouble spots in their sales process by investing more time, effort and resources, which undermines bottom-line growth. Imagine how many more deals you could close if you could attract and retain the attention of that 60%.
