Print Buying #UKvUSA: Should Salespeople Sell Print?
Matthew Parker and I are back with a new episode of Print Buying #UKvUSA, this time asking if salespeople should be selling print. Confused? Don’t be! Parker explains why that question is poignant and we explore the premise from many angles including dos and don’ts for dealing with print customers in the current climate, and customer relations advice that applies to both sides of the pond.
Regular #UKvUSA listeners will be familiar with our trademark disagreements, and this episode is no exception. However, we both strongly agree that empathy is the most important element of the sales process right now. Whether you’re working with new customers or checking in with existing ones, don’t forget that key ingredient.
Listen Long and Prosper!
