As we move further into the digital age there are four main B2B sales roles identified by Forrester Research that will be impacted by technology.
There will be a dramatic decrease in Order Takers; these will be replaced with self-service portals.
Take McDonalds as an example, when walking into one of their restaurants customers are now presented with self-service kiosks, where they can order via touch screens that are fully loaded with the fast food chain’s menu.
The only interaction with a customer service representative is when the buyer collects their food.
London, 13 July 2017 — Today, it was announced that Performics, the performance Marketing agency of Publicis Media, has extended its partnership with global data services provider, Acxiom.

Marketing technical products can be challenging.
Brands often struggle to translate their product’s innovation and ingenuity into an engaging message that attracts attention.
Technical specifications are important but strong storytelling can make a lasting impression. So here are 5 ways brands simultaneously strut their technical stuff AND sound exciting.
New research by digital agency hosting specialist Wirehive has found more than two thirds (68 per cent) of UK consumers feel their opinion of a brand would be negatively affected by website downtime – the period when a website crashes, stopping people from logging on.
The survey of 1,000 UK consumers revealed the inconvenience of bad web hosting will put people off buying from brands in the long-term, as 57 per cent felt they would avoid buying from a brand because of downtime. It also found negative experiences online are common, with 45 per cent reporting they had been shut out of a website they were visiting with the aim to buy something in the week before they were polled. Over half of consumers (55 per cent) reported difficulty in reaching a site to check a product or service out.
UK retailers are missing out on £2bn in online revenue each year due to slow websites and not having guest checkouts, according to a new report on ecommerce performance, by online retailing specialist Summit. Argos and Sainsbury’s topped the table of the UK’s 50 biggest retailers, with John Lewis, Screwfix and Tesco following closely behind.
The bottom position is jointly held by Dorothy Perkins, Superdrug, Topshop, and Evans with a score of 56%. Topshop scored only 13% for online customer service, as a result of slow response times and limited contact options for customers.

Established in the late '80s, Figleaves was a very early adopter of eCommerce technology. Using dotcom money spent on developing its own systems and infrastructure, the founders created a pureplay lingerie retailer. But pushing 30 years later, the in-house systems which enabled the retailer to trade in 100 countries across the globe have become dated in a mobile-first retailing industry.
Tom Fitzgibbons, head of web and IT at Figleaves, describes to Essential Retail how up until recently, all the e-tailer's systems, platforms and applications were custom built in-house, supported by an IT team of 16 in its Hertfordshire HQ.
