Stop Grading Your Own Tests: A Data-Driven Revolution in Sales Skills Assessment and Coaching

Sellers think they know why they're losing deals. But buyers disagree 70% of the time. And that disconnect is costing sales organizations millions in lost revenue.

While most revenue teams keep grading their own tests with self-reported competency assessments and win/loss dropdowns in your CRM, new research reveals that the skills you think matter most to winning deals might not be the reason buyers do or don't choose you.

In this data-driven session, Tim Riesterer, Chief Strategy Officer at Corporate Visions, will reveal:
  • Essential Skills: The eight critical sales competencies based on buyer evidence that are scientifically proven to predict win rates, based on analysis of over 100,000 B2B purchase decisions
  • Strategic Contexts: Why certain skills become more (or less) important based on acquisition vs retention vs expansion selling/buying motions
  • Precision Measurements: How to move beyond subjective self-assessments to measure sales skills through the lens of micro-simulations, actual buyer feedback, and real-world performance data
  • Revenue Results: A framework for using buyer-driven skills analytics to personalize training and prioritize coaching investments for maximum impact
Your buyers are already telling you exactly what they need to say "yes." You just need the right tools to hear them. Join this session and see how companies using buyer-driven intelligence are achieving 40% better win rates—and how you can too.

Speaker: Tim Riesterer, Chief Strategy Officer, Corporate Visions

AI Without the Headaches: How to Automate Sales Workflows Without Losing Control

AI is no longer a futuristic concept—it's the new battleground for sales efficiency. Yet, many organizations are struggling to operationalize AI within their sales process. The promise of automation is clear, but fear of the unknown, lack of trust, and disjointed execution are stalling AI adoption before it delivers value.

AI in sales shouldn't be another tool to learn, but it should be seen as an invisible assistant that helps teams sell smarter, faster, and with more accuracy. For example, companies can now transform how revenue teams work by:
  • Bridging the trust gap, ensuring reps always remain in control of AI-assisted decision-making.
  • Turning implementation into acceleration, with no-code automation that scales across teams instantly.
  • Eliminating CRM busywork, reducing manual data entry and automating sales workflows.
We'll share real-world examples trending in the industry of how sales teams can reduce friction, improve pipeline accuracy, and unlock revenue that was previously lost in bad data and inefficient processes. AI isn't replacing sales teams, it's amplifying their ability to close deals faster and more effectively.

Join us to learn how your team can seamlessly integrate AI into your daily work and turn AI into a competitive advantage without the growing pains.

Selling to the Modern Buyer: Revolutionizing Your Sales Approach

Let's face it, selling is only getting harder.
