A sales team can be organized to maximize returns by implementing a well-balanced strategy. This includes segmenting target customers based on their behavioral profile and organizing the sales team accordingly. For instance, brand loyalists who pre-order every latest version of every new device can be handled by a team focused on new product sales. Late-stage adopters who are usually a few generations behind and often buy second-hand can be catered to by a team specializing in accessories and improvements for older devices.

Your late-stage adopters are still very loyal, but they are usually a few generations behind, often buy second-hand, and tend to find ways to protect and keep their devices longer. While you don't always win them over with the latest chips, tech, and features, you can sell them more accessories to improve their older devices, like power chords, newer headphones, and new cases that extend battery life.
