Instead, they should capitalize on their deep industry knowledge and customer empathy by developing and deploying information that helps buyers buy and sales reps to sell. In this complimentary video webinar, Gartner for Marketers experts provide critical insights into how Marketing can transform the buyer journey by providing information which will act as a catalyst for buyer enablement.

In this complimentary webinar, we explain why optimizing your hiring and talent management processes to focus on this type of rep will help your organization meet increasing customer demands without overburdening company resources.
