Episode notes
Stakeholder management is the hidden factor behind success in complex B2B sales. Most deals aren't lost on price. They're lost because of internal misalignment, poor preparation, and failure to engage the right stakeholders at the right time. In this episode of the B2B Sales Trends Podcast, Harry sits down with Trushar Patel, GM Northwest Europe at Vantive, to explore what actually wins enterprise sales today. From stakeholder management and strategic partnerships to consultative selling and sales team collaboration, Trushar shares why modern B2B sales professionals must evolve from product promoters into trusted advisors and business coordinators.
