The reason B2B sales is bustin’ your chops

You did it: you made your way into B2B sales. But everything sucks. You’re on the brink of missing quota and your manager isn’t coming to save you. The closest thing you have to a coach is one of those Andy Elliot videos where he screams at you about being out of shape for five minutes straight. 

Here comes The Sales Jam, just in time to save you from a neverending slump. 

Tibor Shanto is a sales trainer who’s been working with B2B sellers for decades. According to him, you’re probably not hopeless. He even wrote you a little something that can help you close and earn that cup of coffee at the office. “What is B2B Prospecting”, is a white paper that entails:

  • Why bad Prospecting is a huge problem for B2B sellers. 

  • How to improve a sales team in the context of prospecting. 

  • How to improve unclear positioning and value proposition

B2B sales is considered “difficult”, even “complex” by some. Truth is: it’s just challenging. Big difference. 

Happy reading and good luck!
