In this episode of B2B Sales Trends, Harry Kendlbacher speaks with Sonia Bizier, VP of Sales at Hexagon, about what it takes to build sales teams that succeed with today’s hyper-informed buyers.
With over 30 years in sales leadership, Sonia shares why old playbooks no longer work — and how neuroscience, deliberate practice, and courageous leadership can transform sales organizations for the modern era.
Inside the conversation:
- The biggest shifts in buying behavior and why sellers must provoke thought, not recycle old questions.
- Why sales teams need a process of unlearning and new mental models.
- Moving beyond hunter/farmer models to sellers as corporate athletes with AI as a thought partner.
- How to build transformation into everyday scaffolding, feedback loops, and practice, not one-off training.
- Using neuroscience to anticipate resistance, shift teams from fight/flight/freeze into creativity, and lead change effectively.
- Hiring and developing sellers with the right mix of skill and will, and aiming for elite, fearless, curious teams.
