    The Future of Prospecting with Tom Nation

    Ask any salesperson what they dislike most about selling, and 9 out of 10 will give you the same answer: "I hate prospecting." 😅 So, why do so many salespeople dread generating their own business opportunities? After all, they could have chosen an easier job, right? The answer is straightforward: it's hard work. Prospecting involves significant effort, challenging conversations, and a lot of rejection. It's understandable that salespeople may find it daunting to make phone calls or be proactive when they feel their efforts may be a waste of time and energy.

    This issue often arises in business development or proactive sales roles, especially for those managing teams expected to generate their own leads. In this Masterclass, we will explore the future of prospecting and how you can leverage AI and technology alongside proven sales methodologies to enhance your prospecting results. You will learn how prospecting has evolved and what it takes to successfully develop new business opportunities proactively. We will discuss what modern-day prospecting looks like, utilizing various channels and a range of digital tools—many of which are FREE.

    I will also share real-life examples of what has worked for me.
