To Get B2B Leads, Pick Up the Damn Phone!

Joanne Black - 9 June 2019

Have you forgotten that selling is social?
“Turn off your computer. You’re actually going to have to turn off your phone and discover all that is human around us.” That’s what Eric Schmidt, then chairman and CEO of Google, told the graduating class of the University of Pennsylvania in May 2009.
Ten years later, his advice is even more relevant than it was back then—for college graduates starting their careers, and for salespeople looking to get B2B leads.
Successful sales professionals understand that technology is a must-have business tool. But very few understand how to incorporate technology into their prospecting strategy. As a result, their unsolicited invitations go unanswered and their lead generation campaigns under deliver. So, they rely on outdated tactics that fail to engage the 21st-century buyer—tactics like cold calling, sending cold emails, and stalking prospects on social media.
These practices only alienate potential customers and eat up company time and resources
