In this episode, Art Fromm, President and Founder of Team Sales Development Inc, joins us.
We discuss:
1. Clients trust PreSales. Clients don't trust Sales, but some Sales don't trust PreSales
2. The more Salespeople can use PreSales, the more successful they'll be. It's all about teamwork.
3. The problem with the classic waterfall sales process: Marketing to Business Development to Sales to PreSales to Customer Success
4. Why Client Success, churn rates, retention, and expansion are the only things we should focus on.
