STC053 Why September is your best time to sell to corporate organisations

Time for a tough love episode! Have you been thinking about selling your services to corporate organisations - but not actually doing it? Or perhaps you've been selling to large organisations but your revenue / deals closed ratio isn't where you'd like and you've been saying that you'll improve it soon?  Today's episode is all about why 'soon' is finally here - and how September is your best time to sell into corporate organisations.  We're focusing on whether or not coronavirus is going to impact September sales, how the market is shifting (and why that's GOOD news for external suppliers) and the practical areas that you must focus on if you want to successfully sell more services to corporate organisations this year.   This episode is for anyone who;   Has been promising themselves that they'll 'get around' to selling to corporates once their website is finished/ branding is done/ they've created an entire curriculum etc. It's not to say that there aren't valid reasons to pace yourself… but in this episode, we'll be exploring why you need to take action now or miss the boat.
