Really Good Sales Websites

Lets face it, without Sales your business is dead. You can have a great product, you can have the best quality services but without customers and actual sales you have nothing.

Here are some good resources for you:
  • Sales Gravy is a wealth of resources. It has pointers to other sites and aggregates things such as Podcasts, Blogs, Videos. It has a Community section where you can sign up and chat with others, look for jobs and find others to work with. There is even a shop where you can buy books and download free books. (If you are in that market, unashamedly, check out our Business Book store)

  • SalesRoundup Podcast is great podcast for anybody into complex sales. It is delivered by Joe and Mike who have been is Sales forever. If you dont listen to Podcasts while on the road, in the car or the plane, then do yourself a favour.

  • Plain old Google. Google Alerts are a great way to track information on a suspect in your sales funnel. Just set an alert on a persons name or a company and each day you will receive an email of what has been mentioned on the Internet that day about them.

  • If you want more intelligence about what is happening in your marketplace use LinkedIn. By following the Questions tab of your LinkedIn account and setting a RSS feed into something like Google Reader, you can get a pulse of what are some of the issues happening

  • Lastly is the book I have referred to before. The World's Best Sales Tips by Ciaran McGuigan
