A short monologue (YouTube video) arguing that traditional SaaS sales models must adapt because buyers now control the learning journey. The speaker states buyers skip sales interactions in favor of YouTube, Google, and AI bots to decide fit, shifting informational control away from salespeople.
I think the sales model of SaaS software companies needs to sharpen, especially these traditional ones that have been around a while. Yep. We won't tell you if it's a fit or not until you speak to sales. Well, no, because I'm in control now. The buyer is now in control of the learning. And if you, if you don't tell me right now, I'm not going to wait for you to book an appointment with me. I'm going to go on YouTube and I'm going to go and Google it, and I'm going to ask AI bots what they think, and I'm just going to take that answer. So the control over that answer, the control over the journey of information to the customers doesn't come from their salesperson anymore.
