– Please speak about the company you’re currently working at.

– We directly communicate with customers on social media platforms.
– What trends in the field of sales do you think are the most efficient and in-demand these days, and what methods have become obsolete?
– In person is the most effective as customers are so used to phone and robot sales forms and we’ve lost the personal rapport.

– Utilize direct sales approaches when possible. Expand sales support and after sales engagement. USE SOCIAL MEDIA!!! Slide into DM’s who cares!
– Where and how do you find sales staff for your company?
– I utilize freelancer or outsource sales for lead gen and hire people I meet in person who I feel can be good sales and train. A good salesperson can be made.
