Here\u2019s an old joke for you. Q: what are the three things that make a great salesman? A: Commission. Commission. Commission. Granted, it\u2019s not a very good joke \u2013 not even a particularly accurate one. If you look at most great salespeople, their success isn\u2019t driven by chasing their numbers, but by their ability to understand the needs of prospects with whom they speak and a strong belief in their own abilities (even more so that their belief in the product or service they\u2019re selling).<\/p>\n
Drilling down a bit further, in looking at the kinds of salespeople that provide the best long-term value for an organisation you\u2019ll often find people who can process a lot of information quickly, yet who are agile (flexible and mobile) enough to take all that information and make it personally relevant to the people with whom they\u2019re interacting. Great salespeople are also great at breaking down internal silos and work in partnership with others in their organisation get the job done effectively and efficiently. They\u2019re also great at making sure that while they\u2019re able to share a lot of company information, they\u2019re equally adept at protecting company assets and information. In short, they\u2019re a lot like a Surface.<\/p>\n
But not all sales people (even the great ones) are the same in how they achieve success. Some rely more heavily on their mobility \u2013 constantly moving from client to client, and need a computer that is equally agile. Some rely more heavily on raw processing power and storage in complex, data-driven demonstrations (especially in places where cloud access is spotty). Some view their laptops as objects of functional art that make as much of a statement to clients as their top-of-the line watches and pens. Fortunately, the Surface family caters to all these distinct selling styles: from the agile and affordable Surface 3 to the state-of-the-art Surface Book.<\/p>\n
