How to Prospect Smarter with Jon Ferrara of Nimble.com – EP 119 - The Social Selling Podcast by Linking into Sales
Description
In this episode of the Social Selling Podcast by Linking into Sales, Martin Brossman talks with Jon Ferrara of Nimble.com and shows an example of connecting to someone on Twitter that lead to an important breakfast meeting. He also shows how we gain more information from text, to phone, to face to face. When you sit across the table and break bread, just listen and you will build a deep connection.
Jon also talks about the process he uses to build relationships before going to a conference.
Also hear how Jon scaled Goldmine to $100 Million in revenue without taking any venture capital.
A few quotes from the show.
“The more digital we get the more human we need to be.” – Jon
“It’s the basics that wins games.”
“If you teach people to fish they will figure out you sell fishing poles!”
“Contact info is like a loaded gun and you just don’t go shooting people.”
Tip: Don’t send generic invites, responses or replies if you are serious about building lasting business relationships of value. Use tools, like Nimble, to learn something more about them.
