Prospecting is one of the key stages of the sales process. Yet it is also one of the more difficult ones. In fact, in a recent study 42% of sales pros named prospecting as the most challenging stage of the sale process. But without a sales pipeline full of good quality leads, no other new sales are going to happen. That’s why it’s crucial to understand that prospecting kick-starts the entire sale and determines, to a great extent, whether or not the deal is going to be sealed. This sales development workshop will focus on several methods for improving your sales prospecting methods, skills and processes, including:
Best methods for prospecting in most worlds today

How to Leverage LinkedIn to grow sales through Introductions
Develop a Systemic approach to prospecting rather than an Emotional approach
