| Cold Calling Vs Social Selling, Who Wins? |  |
| In sales there really is no right way to find new prospects/ leads. Instead, according to Daniel Disney, its a matter of using all channels available and adapt your tactics depending on the scenario. Don’t rely on one method and fail to embrace others because you don’t understand them or don’t believe they work. If a contact won’t answer the phone, connect on social media. If they won’t connect send them physical mail or introduce yourself at a networking event. You can read more about Daniel’s thoughts on the matter in his LinkedIn post titled “Cold Calling Vs Social Selling, Who Wins?“. | |
