Mercuri School of Cognitive Skills for Sales People

Because Sales today is more cerebral than ever before!

Build your Repertoire of Cognitive Skills, one skill at a time 

Mercuri School of Cog Skills for Sales People is an initiative to help sales enthusiasts future proof their skill sets. You can build an entire range of cognitive skills that will give you a significant edge, one at a time.  

What is 'Data Orientation & Affinity' ? 

How do your people make business decisions?  Do they use facts and analysis to drive decisions and solve problems? Or, do they rely solely on intuition? Are they able to interpret data, and sense the story the numbers tell?  Data is the oil of the 21st century!  That means, winners of the future will be those who know where to look for data, how to mine it, and use it to advantage. Are your Salespeople ready? 

Why is it important for Salespeople to Develop Data Orientation & Affinity?
Mercuri International’s 2025 Survey on Future of Sales Skills ranked Data Orientation & Affinity among the the topmost competency for sales success, both now and in the future.
Today's buyers are much more well informed and demanding.  It takes 'data oriented' Salespeople to help such Customers make better informed decisions.  Customers prefer Salespeople who go the extra mile in personalising interactions basis in depth analysis of available data.  Salespeople who excel at forecasting closure of deals in the Sales Pipeline are considered valuable assets. Salespeople who speak data, engage with Customers better, are seen as more Customer Centric.
In an AI era, it is easy for Customers to get overwhelmed by varied interpretations of the same data sets. It takes a Data Oriented Salesperson to help them see things in context.

So, developing data orientation & affinity is a cognitive skill that can add significant value to Customers

This 45-minute webinar will give you
• A Sales perspective on Data Orientation & Affinity, as a critical cognitive skill
• Tools you can use to grow and develop such orientation
• Ideas you can implement in your work situation to get better at Data Orientation, and add value to your Customers

Why build and strengthen your repertoire of Cognitive Skills?

Sales as we have known it always, is changing at warp speed.
The common perception that sales is largely all about relationships, people, a little knowledge and great communication may not be valid any longer

The role of the salesperson is getting transformed! 

Here are 4 trends creating a radical shift in the salesperson’s role:

  • 1Widespread access to an overload of information and knowledge
    Salespersons are no more the sole source of information in a purchase decision as in the past. So, the salesperson must be sharper and more discerning with insights and not just information.
  • 2Staggering range of choices for Customers
    Regardless of the business model, B2C or B2B, today’s Customer has an almost bewilderingly wide range of choices. Therefore he looks for a reliable adviser who can guide his choices better
  • 3Salesperson’s support needed in complex sales
    Transactional selling increasingly replaced by digital modalities or ecommerce. It is in complex sales involving multiple stakeholders or new business models that Customers look for consultative advisory support. This demands grasp and application of higher cognitive skills that such as problem solving, data orientation, analytical thinking and conceptual understanding to deliver true value to Customers
  • 4Data driven decisions
    Data and analytics drive today’s buying decisions, with emotion continuing to playing its own part. Customers, therefore, expect salespersons to demonstrate data affinity in helping them leverage insights from data

For many decades it was generally believed that sales does not require the salesperson to be cerebral. But today, the Salesperson has to deal with knowledgeable, intelligent and highly aware Customers. Therefore, the need for cognitive ability is far greater now. And it is these cognitive skills that will future proof sales careers and to help sales professionals excel in selling in the coming days

So, it is time for a reset, to become more cognitive. Because Sales today is more cerebral than ever before
