Focus Research Insight: 24% of buyers say the sales rep's product knowledge was lacking or sub par.

After speaking with vendors, nearly a quarter of buyers claimed that what was missing was the sales rep's ability to answer live questions, or provide comprehensive feedback to their inquiries. This is seemingly a controllable on the vendor's end, but how should vendors ensure buyers' questions are answered effectively and promptly? As a buyer, do you find reps falter most when it comes to technical requirements, industry specifications, existing business applications, questions about integration? What else?

To have the answer to every possible question is setting up a rep to fail. What needs to be in place for employees and customers is a system, networks and people where answers can be found fast.

Also, the customer should have available to them a way to search for the answers themselves and have direct real time access to people who have or will get answers for them.
