Typically sales cycles can last anywhere from 9 to 18 months, meaning things don't happen overnight. So as a seller, you must constantly build your pipeline and look for new opportunities. You can only do that by listening in a way that you understand your customer's needs, become their trusted advisor, and provide thought leadership every step of the way.
