[New Compilation Podcast Episode: 25+ Predictions]

"People buy from companies. 

People do business with people, right? 

If it's anything that is a commodity... 

if there's not a lot of differentiation... 

There's not a lot of complexity to it... 

You're going to see that direct sales person 

with a heartbeat going away from that.

There's going to be marketplaces that address that need where, 

'Hey, I just need X number of this component 

that meets this specification. I need three quotes.

 I need to know the price, lead time, and, 

maybe reviews or some past performance of that equipment.'

Then, you're going to see on the solution side: 

on the people do business with people side, 

that's still going to exist, right?

So, you really need to stake a claim if you're 

getting into sales, business development, 

working for organizations in more of a complex environment. 

And we see a lot of that in the data center space 

where it's not just a commodity sale, 

even if it's a chiller, a piece of electrical hardware.

There's so much more that goes into it regarding 

the reliability of the lead times.

 Is this going to actually arrive on site? 

I want a person to be able to manage that relationship 

back within the organization that I'm doing business with."
