Captivating Attention with Email. On Purpose with Lauren Valentine

Описание: It’s harder than ever to reach people. Phones go unanswered. Emails get deleted without a second thought. And the more technology we add to make selling easier, the more guarded and distracted buyers seem to become. But the truth is, the problem isn’t the tools. It’s the way they’re being used.


In this episode of Purpose Under Pressure, host Bryan Lefelhoc, founder of Bryan Media Strategies (https://www.bryanmediastrategies.com/) , talks with Sandler by the Ruby Group partner and sales trainer Lauren Valentine about the right and wrong way to use email, texting, and digital outreach in today’s sales environment.


Lauren shares best practices on subject lines, referral strategies, varied outreach methods, and why emotional detachment is essential in prospecting.


It’s a reminder that great selling still comes down to doing the basics well, staying disciplined, and focusing on helping instead of pushing.


Purpose Under Pressure is brought to you in partnership with Sandler by the Ruby Group (https://go.sandler.com/therubygroup/) , serving sales professionals and sales organizations nationwide from their locations in Akron and Columbus, Ohio, in Capital Region, New York, and in Jacksonville, Florida
