I denna undersökning nämns samarbetsavtal, offerter, referenscase och säljmaterial. Detta är något som vore intressant att fortsätta forska kring, hur dessa ska utformas och anpassas efter säljarens behov vid försäljning av digitala lösningar. En djupare undersökning om hjälpverktygen skulle också kunna utföras för att kunna specificera vilka verktyg som hade passat och utförligt beskriva hur säljare skulle arbeta med dem. Perspektivet i undersökningen har varit utifrån säljaren och ett annat förslag är att utgå från organisation och ledare, för att analysera vilka förändringar och utmaningar de står inför. Ett sista förslag är att granska mognadsgraden hos olika företag och vilka faktorer som avgör om ett företag är tillräckligt mogen för en digital lösning.
