Direct Sales: We have leads for our solution. However, we don't have the sales people to follow-up and close opportunities. How can we solve this problem?

Colin McGuire - I Operate a Portfolio of 16 eCommerce Brands, Clarity's Top Customer Acquisition Expert answered:

Here is the deal: as an entrepreneur, you must be the best sales person at your company. There aren't any excuses that can combat that. Then, once the business has a revenue stream, you may hire a small sales team to continue new business into the sales funnel.

In order to become successful, you (and your co-founders) must make an effort to pursue those leads on your own.

If you need help on developing a system or a sales process, do not hesitate to message me. I would love to help. I have done sales strategy consulting and coaching many times and have trained many entrepreneurs to become successful in sales.

If you schedule a call with me and do not think it was worth your time and money, I will refund your money no questions asked.

However, you should shoot me a message and explain to me a little bit better what your situation is exactly so I can figure out how I can best help. I always give free email support until your goals are achieved.

Hope to see a message from you soon.

- Colin
