Join Jess Lorimer and Robert Cutler of Selling to Corporate as they analyse the market and show you how to navigate mindset changes, new lead generation strategies, hiring ‘how-to’s and of course, those strategic sales techniques to see you into your next promotion.
As 2021 draws to a close, join Jess & Rob as they navigate the key topic of negotiation – a skill that has even more value in this incredibly competitive marketplace. Deep-dive into the importance of a sale & negotiation being a mutually beneficial situation, how key your business USPs are and why boundaries need to be part of your sales playbook. Along the way, hear about Black Friday (and why sales don’t work in B2B) and even a recount of a victory at Cluedo…
