In this episode, Dan Farkas, host of 'The Strategic Communicator', talks to Tom Martin of Converse Digital about sales trends in 2024. Martin highlights the shifting sales landscape and the need for meaningful and quality interactions over high output. He underscores the new influence of Gen Z and millennials due to their self-educating tendencies and digitally-driven expectations. Noting the recent surge in spam emails and detrimental activity to productivity, he calls for a higher standard of sales techniques and a more profound integration of marketing and sales departments.


The conversation also covers the importance of training salespeople effectively, the changing attitudes towards content, and the impact of a seller's knowledge about the product.


Martin recommends Corporate Visions for their work on neuroscience and salesmanship and suggests a less popular but excellent seafood-focused restaurant in New Orleans, Station Six. To finish, he recommends an underrated bourbon brand, Stellum.
