What is a hype cycle?

According to Gartner “This Hype Cycle will help application leaders supporting sales to assess the relative maturity and business impact of sales technologies. Those technologies that are mature have become must-have costs of doing business, while those that are emerging are a source of competitive advantage.”

  • Knowledge Graphs for Sales (High benefit rating)
  • Conversational Engagement Analytics for Sales (High benefit rating)
  • Algorithmic Guided Selling
  • Sales Engagement Platforms (High benefit rating)
  • Digital Content Management for Sales (High benefit rating)

Gartner has given 4 out of 5 of the categories a benefit rating of “High” which means that category “Enables new ways of performing horizontal or vertical processes that will result in significantly increased revenue or cost savings for an enterprise”
