It may sound like a tagline from a movie…think Wall Street crossed with X-men, but a group of sales professionals have decided to unite together to form a super force of sales bloggers with the sole aim of improving sales for all.
You can imagine the possible voice for such a trailer – “Where business fears to tread, one such group of sales individuals grouped together to fight for justice, freedom and better sales everywhere”.
In all seriousness though, this isn’t such a flippant tagline, sales needs strong minded professionals to champion the role of sales people and sales managers within organisations. In a sometimes isolationist industry where competition, fear and bad sales practices are constantly hampering great talent and drive, a resource where clarity and collective wisdom is just the panacea that sales professionals really need.
There are plenty of talented individuals who are offering great help but no-where, I think, has there been an active collaboration between sales professionals in differing areas of business to come together to offer their help and expertise in a sales collective. Over the coming weeks, the name of this group and the website where the group will operate from will be announced, but what I can tell you is that the site will offer quality original posts from all the members as well as a regular e-book for download to sales professionals.
Watch this space for more details on further developments of this dynamic group of individuals.
