Hi Brad,

It's probably fair to say that sales has changed not so much been downgraded. Or perhaps we might even say it's merged with marketing in some instances, particularly if we look at how some companies view online conversion strategy. The role of sales is somewhat different these days, it's true. But, if anything, it's gotten easier to sell smarter and that can't be a bad thing. Thanks to Devan Perine for sharing this post with the BizSugar community.
