July 2011

Greetings!

Kurt no tie low rez"Summer-time...and the selling is easy." Or at least it can be if you are taking advantage of advanced selling tools to increase the number of quality leads and streamline your sales process.

Some of my favorite tools are Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software like Salesforce.com, LinkedIn - the No. 1 Social Media tool for business, Constant Contact email marketing, and Jigsaw - an online exchange for trading business cards.

To accommodate vacation schedules, public training for August is 100% online. If you want to hit September armed with the skills of a LinkedIn Master, join us for the 4-part Webinar Coaching Series described below.
