Over the years I've seen many talented teleprospectors struggle consistently to hit their goals. If your call output is erratic, then the amount of opportunities you're going to uncover will be as well. You will get blown off. | SALES PROSPECTING PERSPECTIVES MARCH 13, 2013 Online Personal Branding Opportunities Within Your Professional Organizations Most importantly, the bio should include links to each and every social media profile you have (your LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, etc,) as well as your personal professional blog or website if you have one. show the profile to new prospects you are trying to make a first appointment with) and 2) passes additional strength and increases organic web traffic capabilities to the social media profiles you link to.

Love wins over evil every time. | SALES PROSPECTING PERSPECTIVES OCTOBER 17, 2012 Marketing Is The New Sales I just read an interesting blog by Mark Emond in which he discusses how the marketing role, as well as the way B2B buyers buy, is evolving. In a similar study, 77% of CEOs feel marketers talk about brand, brand values and brand equity but fail to link this back to results that top management cares about: revenue, sales, earnings, or market valuation. He talked about how buyers now prefer to engage with a sales rep much later in the process than ever before.

You just created the best blog, case study, or ebook ever and want people to know it. Blog Syndication- If you are blogging regularly (minimum of 2 times per week) and have not syndicated your blog, you need to do so. Do a key word search on blog syndication and insert your industry.

We are all human beings, flawed humans who all crave the same thing, acceptance (and to be loved, but that’s another blog topic). | | | | | | | | | - Inside Sales Reps - Are You Losing Prospects Over Their Objections?
Last week, a friend of mine sent out a link to Cold Call Me Maybe on Tumblr. If you’re in sales and haven’t seen this clever blog with gif animations yet, I highly recommend it for a good laugh! One of the animations I found particularly funny was specific to the concept of objections and the caption read, “When a prospect has an objection that you don’t really know how to overcome…” which you can see here.
