I spent part of Friday in the studio recording a long video about my Sales Accelerator program. Even though we have a page with much information, we need to do a better job explaining how the program works and how it helps salespeople and sales managers improve their results. At the same time, I am writing my fourth book. I have cataloged many of the factors that have made selling—and leading sales—more challenging than ever, offering strategies and tactics to address these factors effectively.

By Tibor Shanto. I have a lot of empathy for pundits in a subjective undefined area of practice, like prospecting for example. Making proclamations, spinning data, presenting speculation as fact , only to be undercut by facts. But why let the issue be clouded by facts when there is a waiting public ready to consume.
