Sales Fuel to Get You Going

Whew, the first quarter of the year is officially over and although things really should have started last month, we are noticing a sluggish economy and everyone seems to be running after the 8-ball. It’s May 1st- and it’s time to sharpen your sales knowledge and skills. We have a vibrant community of experts out there giving away amazing free content in the form of webinars, podcasts, white papers, articles and YouTube videos. And then again there are some who don’t know much about sales but want to sound like they do- I won’t tell you about them.

After you make your calls in the morning, you’ve got to download this great Webinar hosted by Razi Imam, CEO of Landslide and Tom Sant from the Sant Corp. It’s on one of my favorite topics- writing emails. The title is How to Use Sales Messaging to Win More Business.  Today, there are 65 billion emails being sent per day and it is estimated by 2010, 27,000 billion gigabytes of email will be stored. Tom shares some excellent sample sales emails that fail to get their point across, very valuable and definitely worth your time.

Eyes on Sales has partnered with Landslide and their site is looking fantastic. They have so many great articles, I’m featured in there and lots of others. Did anyone say Recession? Yesterday, a few inside organizations announced some riffs so there are some people on the street today (hopefully with good severance packages) so you have time to read a few articles especially since selling during a recession is one of the best times to sell.

And I found a few new sales blog, check out Johnathan Farrington’s blog and read this latest post on the Top 10 Mistakes Presenters Make written by Debbie Fay. And in the inside sales space, Trish Bertuzzi has picked up speed with her Inside Sales Experts Blog and has become the LinkedIn queen by forming an Inside Sales Group of Experts- you rule Trish!

Today marks the opening of the Business Experts Webinars and Lee Salz has assembled some very smart sales experts on great topics.  Great work Lee, hey, what about me?

Last but not least, CanDoGo is chipping away and doing some great work with high quality video so watch today’s winning insight by Tony Alexandra.
