Press release Credico UK On AI-Assisted Sales Trust What UK consumers actually think about AI-assisted sales interactions, and why the answer should worry brands AI is no longer something brands are only testing in the background.

Press release Credico UK And Face-to-Face Sales in Complex Markets Why face-to-face still wins for complex sales, and the sectors where the gap is widening The digital revolution was supposed to make salespeople obsolete. It didn’t. In fact, across some of the UK’s most competitive customer acquisition sectors, the human conversation has become more valuable, not less.

Press release Credico UK- North vs. South isn't a cliché: why regional sales strategies outperform national ones in the UK National campaigns are efficient, but customers are regional. If a sales message works in London but falls flat in Leeds, is the market wrong, or has the campaign been built too broadly? That is the problem with treating the UK as one audience.

Here's how to take it a few steps further. CPA is useful, but it can be misleading when it sits alone in a report. A business might know what it paid for each new customer, yet still know very little about the quality of that customer. Did they stay? Did the sale pass the proper checks?

Press release Credico UK - Field Sales KPIs Procurement Teams Need Sales volume is always the primary goal for outsourced sales teams, but their efforts should also be benchmarked against additional KPIs to truly measure performance. When reviewing potential outsourced field sales partners, procurement teams rarely struggle to ask about price. The harder question is whether that partner can prove value once the contract begins. An outsourced field sales partner can talk about reach, pace, and access to new customers, but procurement teams have to look beyond By Debbie Shaw • 9 min read

Press release Why prospects say “not now” in face-to-face sales You’ve probably seen the moment happen dozens of times. The conversation goes well.
