/in , , , , , , , , , /by

As a sales coach I’m always looking for the hidden root cause of our problems. And, one of the biggest issues sales organizations have today is Lead Flow or Lead Generation.

In this episode of The Bill Caskey Podcast, I contend that the mission you are on or that you believe you are on has more to do with lead flow than anything else.

I’ll explain how you can best arrive at your personal mission as it relates to your customer focus.

I asked the question to my clients, “between getting enough traffic in your pipeline and converting that traffic into sales, what’s the bigger issue?” And, without question, it’s generating traffic.

We’d been given a gift, the gift of digital technology. Are you taking advantage of that? If you’re like most salespeople, you’re probably not.

On this week’s Bill Caskey Podcast, I’ll give you an exact recipe you can use to start generating more and better leads right away!
