Sales needs a new approach

Three of the top salespeople I know, Scott Leese, Jared Robins, and Jill Rowley, are talking about how the sales funnel is broken.


What does that tell you? 🤔


Your funnel is f*cked.


Inbound and outbound strategies aren’t working.


It’s time to build a Nearbound motion.


Start making connections.


Get intros.


Gain intel.


Build influence.


Your funnel is broken, and it isn’t getting better in the next 12 months.


It’s time for a Nearbound approach.


Everything goes through the ecosystem

On the PartnerUp Podcast 117, James Hodgkinson talks about the Nearbound tools and methods he’s using to grow his business.


Using a Nearbound approach is the next opportunity for his business to level up.


Direct sales are no longer working like they used to.


People are overwhelmed with information.


You need to leverage the people and businesses your customers already know and trust.

Quote of the Day

There’s no need to go through the struggle from the very beginning. Talk to folks that have managed that type of partnership learning from their experience, what’s worked & what hasn’t worked. It really lets you have an upper hand in starting fresh. —Alyshah Walji, Director of Partnerships at Vividly on Howdy Partners
