I started this blog for a few reasons. First and foremost I love selling, and have made it my career. I am a regional sales manager for a Fortune 500 service company. I am a fairly young sales professional and find myself constantly looking for ways to improve my craft. Whether it’s through books, peers or the internet I love reading about sales situations, successes and champions.
One thing I have noticed as I cruise the web looking for sales related information is that there appears to be a distinct lack of quality info on direct selling techniques. There are numerous sales and marketing blogs, but in my mind sales and marketing are completely seperate entities. Sure good marketing will increase sales, but how does a business or individual prospect, secure and maintain clients without the support of a marketing department?
This blog is aimed at account managers and executives, sales managers and SOHO business owners that are looking for quick tips and best practices to help further their sales efforts. My hope is that readers can leverage some of my experiences to help them succeed in growing their business!
