Raise your hand if your company needs more new customers.<br /><br />I suspect your hand is (figuratively) up.

To skyrocket growth, sales development is the answer.<br /><br />This book encapsulates author Trish Bertuzzi’s three decades of practical, hands-on experience. It presents six elements for building new pipeline and accelerating revenue growth with inside sales.<br /><br />1.

Tactics, compensation, and a bullet-proof hiring process are presented in great detail.<br /><br />4. Retention goes deep on the stuff that never seems to get enough consideration: engaging, developing, and motivating people. <br /><br />5. Execution switches gears and presents examples and tactics for onboarding, crafting buyer-based messaging, and designing effective outreach cadence.<br /><br />6. And, finally, Leadership, gives actionable advice on what it takes to lead sales development today.
