Succeeding in selling direct mail in today’s world takes a new set of skills.  

To understand how successful print leaders are selling, we document their sales processes in case studies like this, explore their sales methodologies in podcasts like this one, and via interviews like the one below with Andrew Ettinger, CEO of The Best Postcards.

Probed by another print expert and friend of mine, Warren Werbitt, this interview is a fascinating case study into what it takes to succeed in selling and servicing companies with print in an increasingly “anti-print,” digital world.  

Watch to learn:

• How Andrew positions their company as NOT a Direct Mail vendor
  
• The marketing strategy that results in only inbound, qualified leads that know everything they need to know BEFORE calling
