Are your sales staff has knowledge about your potential customers?
Do you know what is the most important that your sales staff needs to know when they try to sell your products or services?
I have experienced when the sales representatives from the same company called me several times with the same offer previously denied. I can see that they don’t know anything about me, my needs, my business needs, and everything else connected with me and their offer.
