Episode #185: Keeping Sales Top of Mind with John Hall

In This Episode of The Buyer’s Mind with Jeff Shore:

John Hall, author of Top of Mind and co-founder of Calendar.com, shares with Jeff about the importance of influence in sales and marketing. Marketing and Sales need to be working with each other to make both sides successful.  Salespeople are listeners who are finding the pain points of customers and seeking to meet their needs.  When that information gets shared with the marketing department, they can improve their outreach and help bring in more customers.

Topics we’re going to cover on today’s podcast:

[1:36] Is a salesperson there for information or influence?

[4:13] The creation of Calendar.com
