No More Cold Calling

Referrals aren’t favors. Salespeople often downplay the importance of referral networks or just don’t know how to ask for a referral. Don’t get distracted; don’t get embarrassed. Relationships and referrals are what business is all about! When I interviewed Wes, senior vice president of sales for a well-known marketing automation company, I expected to hear all about the advantages of using his technology.

As I reflect on the brave new world of selling, I imagined a call of the future: Alexa: Hi, Siri, I’m Alexa from Super Cool As A Service Software Tools Company, otherwise known as SCAASSTC.

Is it possible to shorten the sales cycle? Yes, there is a chance -- if you employ the right tactics at the right stage to show prospects the value of your product so they want to buy from you.
