What are the 10 most disruptive sales technologies? Jim Brodo, SVP of marketing at sales performance improvement innovators, Richardson, takes a look at the top disruptive technologies in sales and marketing.

PHILADELPHIA, May 28, 2012 - The world of marketing and sales is rapidly changing due to the constant development and growth of technology designed to increase selling and marketing effectiveness and efficiency. From cloud computing to smart phone apps, what are the most disruptive technologies in this space? Richardson's blog post, Top 10 Disruptive Sales Technologies written by Jim Brodo, SVP of marketing, takes a look at the top disruptive technologies in sales and marketing.

"Cloud computing has given us 'software as a service,' disrupting the previous business model of selling suites of software to be installed on individual computers or network servers. The cloud has disrupted the market for storage. And if you even remember the once-ubiquitous floppy, is it the 3.5-inch, the older 5.25-inch, or the original 8-inch disk that once littered your desk?" points out Jim Brodo.

"Recently, I got to thinking about the top disruptive technologies in sales and marketing. Some are product specific, while others are more general technologies. Some fall into the 'Doh! No kidding, Jim,' category, and others, I hope, are of the 'Hmmm, interesting thought,' variety. One caveat: You will not see e-mail on this list. While it certainly is among the top disruptive technologies in communication - replacing phone tag and faxes - I wanted to dig a little deeper," he adds.
