STC051 How to understand what a corporate company is

A quick summer episode to answer one of the most common questions / objections I hear from people considering making the switch to B2B sales! Have you ever thought about selling to corporate organisations but got scared at the thought of having to sell to big banks / huge organisations/ household name brands? Maybe you've thought about selling into public sector/ not-for-profit organisations but decided that they're not 'corporate enough'?  This episode is for you! There are a lot of misconceptions about the types of organisations that are actually 'corporate'... and the ones that aren't. So if you're already selling to organisations but worried that you're not 'selling to corporates' or if you're brand new to B2B sales and not entirely sure what a corporate organisation is, then take a listen to this super-quick episode.   I'll be sharing;   Details for my new FREE 'Creating Proposals that Convert' Masterclass (being held live on Thursday 26th August at 2pm UK) If your current proposal conversion rate is lower than 80%, you'll want to get yourself signed up!
