We’ve talked about vertical markets before so you probably know that verticalizing your sales attention provides a structured way to grow sales. The more familiar you are with an industry, the better you can speak its language. Understanding common challenges builds credibility, and before you know it, you’re the go-to expert in that space.
But sticking to one vertical isn’t always the best move. Expanding into new markets opens more opportunities, helps you stay ahead of competitors, and keeps your sales pipeline full. You won’t max out an entire industry on your own, but competition can push you to look elsewhere. Shifting into a new vertical might not be top of mind when you’re still getting a handle on machines, software, and leasing, but it’s a natural next step that builds on what you already know.
