In case you’re new to the game, we’re here at Rainmaker 2016 and we’re live blogging the keynotes, panels, and breakout sessions throughout the event.
We’ve heard from the Salesloft family during the keynote, and then 3 of the industry’s top thought-leaders: TOPO’s Craig Rosenberg, Winning by Design’s Jacco van der Kooij, and j.barrows LLC’s John Barrows shared their opinions on the modern sales model.
Now we’re here with TOPO’s Kristina McMillan, one of the top sales development analysts in the game, and MuleSoft’s Steven Broudy, formerly an Army Ranger Sniper Team Leader, and currently Head of Account Development for the Americas. Account Based Sales Development (ABSD) can help your team develop target accounts and set more appointments using less leads.
Check out some of these tweetable takeaways from Steven and Kristina as they share their expert opinions on implementing a solid ABSD approach from the ground up.
