Hello Everyone, I'm starting with a new company on Monday, which will be my second Sales role. I feel like I'll be back to square one in some ways, as it's a new product and market that I'll be prospecting. Looking to hear about some of the challenges people have faced when moving into a new role/market and what they would suggest to overcome them?

Great news that Google and Yahoo are throttling emails from those that send them on mass. More money to make for those of us in here that don't hide behind email! Love it! Thoughts on this???

Hello people, Had a good day last Wednesday where I booked 3 meetings on the phone. I say booked, but what really happened was each prospect agreed that they wanted a meeting, but didn't give me a concrete time on the phone. It was a mixture of 'I'll send you my calendly', and 'I'm not in front of my calendar, send me a load of times and I'll choose one' Did manage to book them all in, but it did take a week of sending follow up emails and follow up calls. I don't want to do all the hard work and then be chasing, ultimately becoming an annoying salesperson. Anyone got any tips for pinning people down to specific times? I used to sell a sales engagement platform that had calendar booking built into the platform, so it was as simple as clicking the prospects name and sending loads of times through as I was on the phone. Now it's a bit more manual. Keen to hear how everyone else is handling it. Also, I have never and will never be able to spell the word calendar right the first time. Will not stay in my head.

Hey, What tools/apps are people using to record calls? I could still want to use my mobile number to make calls.

Alreet team - I get this every so often. Often its a response to an email i sent a while ago and its out the blue. Mostly is an ad hoc request as the prospect need to order more packaging/labelling, sometimes its more of an official "tender". This seems very much the way the indsutry does it. Anyways as we know, an request for pricing is a shit request. I'm quite blunt and basically refuse to do it without a proper conversation in the form of a meeting in the diary. Sometimes they accept sometimes they don't. So my question is, is this the way to go about it? Is there a proper nurturing way to go about this? My colleagues are happy to jump through the hoops for prospects with RFPs etc and they do win business sometimes, so sometimes I have that little voice in the back of my head wondering if Im maybe missing out??
