Aaron “Air” Ross shares with the host Shira Abel his tips for getting the most out of your outside sales.

He founded Predictable Revenue: The Outbound Success Company, and his team specializes in helping companies get outbound right the first time. • Aaron is married with 9 children, lives in Los Angeles, and graduated from Stanford. Key Takeaways: • With the rise of inbound sales, remember that outbound should still be a part of your strategy to find new customers. • If you're a growth company, your long term solution is to have your internal team prospecting. • The person who does prospecting, should be separate from the sales person, and the closer. The sales teams need to work like sports teams - everyone needs to have their own role to be successful. Please rate this podcast.
