New Webinar: Our Top Social Media Lead Generation Techniques for 2012
January 26, 2012

It’s no secret that Sales 2.0 is here to stay and not ever going away. So what is it? Sales 2.0 is about sales people using Web 2.0 tools and social media to sell more effectively. This may sound hard to you sales managers and owners that are not using Social Networks, Mobile Technology, the Internet or Cloud Services as part of your sales efforts, but come on this is 2012, we need to stop working so hard. We have never had tools like this, ever!

Not to age myself, but I remember when it took a dozen phone calls, a little bribery and sometimes special ops to get a meeting with a decision maker. Yet now with the help of LinkedIn and the Internet we can literally see as much intelligence on a target prospect and now we can even see how we are connected to that person by how many degrees.

See below, one click on CEO’s on the medical space and I am only one degree from a potential target using any one of 5 connections! Why would you not enable your sales force to reduce calling and leverage their network and the company content to tactically get in front of more contacts and generate referrals?

Check out one of our classes at www.forwardprogress.net and get your sales force on top of this Sales 2.0 game before your competitors find out there are only one degree from your customers!
