Sales roadmap back
Sometimes knowing what we need to do differently isn’t enough. We need practical tips and tools we can start to use NOW. While we’d all love to think that simply hiring the “right” salesperson is the answer to growing revenue, it’s more complex than that. Our role as business owners, company directors and as salespeople is to operate in a different way than we did before COVID-19 and the tough economic times we’ll face as a result. Anyone can sell in good times, but when things get tough, our salespeople need a deeper skillset and must be supported to behave differently if we’re to make the most of the opportunity that will be there.
Loaded with takeaways, this session will enable you to walk away with a roadmap to get your sales on track now and into the future.
Presented by Ingrid Maynard – The Sales Doctor
We look forward to seeing you all (virtually) at HIRE20
