Best-Selling Authors Tibor Shanto and Craig Elias Show How to Harness B2B Sales Triggers to Convert Prospects into Customers by Reaching Key Decision Makers at the Right Time
(OMAHA, NE) - OneSource, an Infogroup company, today announced a complimentary B2B sales webinar series featuring Craig Elias and Tibor Shanto, best-selling authors and experts on trigger event selling. The series will present cutting edge techniques backed by real-world experience demonstrating how B2B sales professionals can unlock the power of sales triggers to close more deals, shorten sales cycles and grow revenue.
Sales triggers are time-sensitive events such as executive changes, mergers and acquisitions and funding announcements that present immediate sales opportunities. Industry experience demonstrates that sales prospects with critical trigger events may be up to eight times more likely to buy than prospects not exhibiting trigger events.
But how do you access the most relevant alerts and triggers that lead to hot sales opportunities? How do you identify triggers beyond the obvious ones that your competitors may already be chasing? How do you use triggers to accelerate prospecting?
This trigger-based selling webinar series with Craig Elias and Tibor Shanto will answer these questions and more. See below for session details and save your place in advance by registering online at http://www.onesource.com/trigger-webinars.
