This community is for entrepreneurs and sales pros to connect, grow, + learn the new (and highly improved) connection-based way of selling. https://www.facebook.com/groups/salesrevolutiongroupx Whether you're driving down the road right now, or you're about to walk into a boardroom meeting to finalize the deal, or maybe you're at the gym just running on a treadmill, wondering how your day is going to go. You're about to pick up the phone to call another prospect. I want you to think about what it actually takes to be a top 1% salesperson in your industry, the industry you're in right now? The salesperson who makes all the money, who gets any promotion they want. In fact, they turn down promotions they don't want. My next guest, Craig Klein, is going to answer that question for us. To give you a small taste of his background. He is the CEO and founder of a company called Sales Nexus, a leading CRM, marketing automation, and lead generation solution for sales teams. Prior to founding this company Sales Nexus, he spent 15 years building and leading sales teams selling multi-million-dollar, multi-year contracts to energy companies in a very complex selling environment. His belief that business growth is the engine of human advancement has led him to serve as a mentor to students in the University of Houston Wolff Center for Entrepreneurship.
