Media Advisory: Forrester’s Technology Sales Enablement Forum, February 14-15, 2011, In San Francisco

Forrester Research, Inc., (Nasdaq: FORR):

WHAT: Forrester Research, Inc., (Nasdaq: FORR) Technology Sales Enablement Forum 2011: New Buyers, New Demands: Accelerating Sales Performance

The status quo is the enemy of technology vendors today. On the customer side, technology investment decisions have migrated from the data center to the boardroom, shifting purchasing criteria from capabilities to business outcomes. However, many firms’ go-to-market strategies lag behind these new buying requirements and force salespeople to play on the same old turf — responding to RFPs and being treated as a commodity provider.

Competitive advantage depends on purposeful collaboration and change across the organization to focus sales enablement on buyers' changing needs. At Forrester’s inaugural Technology Sales Enablement Forum 2011, marketing, sales, and product portfolio leaders will learn how to sell higher, capture wallet share, and transform their sales approach from product pushing to problem solving.

WHEN: February 14-15, 2011

WHERE: The Palace Hotel, San Francisco

San Francisco, CA 94104
