In an ever evolving and fragmenting online and offline marketing world, selling and teaching/coaching up is a perpetually evolving skill. Getting buy in from decision makers and coaching points of contact to sell up is a skill that is becoming increasingly important. The further you are from the customer, the more you rely on data and examples to make a decision. For the CEO or any decision maker, examples, references, storytelling and KPIs are critical for them to make a decision. With decentralized decision making, it frequently takes more than a nice slideshow or PowerPoint deck to give the materials necessary to move someone down the path to purchase goods or ideas.
