About this episode
Sales is the lifeblood of every business, period. And yet many organisations, small and large, struggle with selling their products and services and therefore miss out on maximising their potential. In many cases, smaller organisations which have grown from start up, rely heavily on the founder to ‘sell’, and often this person is not a salesperson, and does not want to be a salesperson. As a result, the growth of the organisation is stifled. In today’s episode, I enjoy a fabulous conversation withAndy Dickens, Founder and CEO of Virtual Sales Ltd, an organisation that has been helping companies & businesses drive qualified sales pipelines for over 21 years, turning curious prospects into committed customers. We talk all things sales, from lead generation through LinkedIn to cold calling.
