Episode Description
One common fear of many sales and business professionals is whether or not to approach a top level executive in a major corporation when they are attempting to win them as a client. We also wrestle with how to approach them. Because of this fear, we have a tendency to take the path of least resistance and initiate our contact with lower level individuals because it feels safer to do so. That approach has a tendency to lead to longer sales cycles and lower margins. Tune in to today’s show with my guest Pete Peterson. Pete is a dynamic leader, and Senior Vice President of U.S. Sales for Tech Data, one of the world's largest wholesale distributors of technology products, services and solutions. Pete will share from a senior executive’s viewpoint what it takes to be successful in business, sales, and the best approach to get the attention of top executives.

They initiate the contact. Learn the tips, techniques and skills used by the most successful sales and business professionals who make things happen while others are watching things happen or wondering what happened. “Forget Patience, Let’s Sell Something!” will help you to gain more clients faster and at higher margins by being proactive.
