Though I come more from a general entrepreneurial than broader sales perspective, I'd have to say that there is a fundamental problem with a standard approach to anything. Some sales people make fun of social media, but I've gotten more out of them than any cold calls or face-to-face meetings I've ever had with customers. You know. Things like sales and clients. Not to mention almost ALL of my serious leads. It may be my products, but I find cold calling and face-to-face pretty worthless. It takes too long to meet someone interested in what I have to offer. Through social media/blogging prospects interested in your product find you. It's simple and logical. Why haven't there been overall increases in sales despite new marketing techniques? Because the old way of selling is dying while the new methods gain momentum and so far there is no net increase. But get ready. A new world is coming!
