Opt In | Ep. 31

What’s the goal of sales development?

Book meetings? Qualify prospects? Clean data?

To borrow a quote from Chris Beall, we think the goal is to pave the market with trust.

That means exchanging value and insight to pique a prospect’s curiosity, understanding whether you can help them or not, and recommending the best next steps.
