"We'll see you when you watch it!"

This episode of The Sales Stage is all about prospecting. Jimmy starts us off, sharing some fan feedback from episode one. The duo then debates yay or nay to texting prospects. Then they highlight some tactical prospecting tips their teams have implemented in the last six months. And some of the ways they've been prospected recently that have caught their attention. 

In this episode of The Sales Stage, Jimmy and Reva welcome their first guest, Nathan Manning, who leads Adobe's BDR team. The trio chat about getting the kids back to school and adjusting to work from home life, and Reva challenges Jimmy's use of the word "parley." 

The meat of the episode covers coaching a remote sales team. They look at the basics of product training and the practical/tactical elements of a rep's role. They then jump into the challenges of making the time to train and coach on potential.

It's the Sales Stage with Jimmy and Reva! In our first episode, our co-hosts do their best to introduce each other (with mixed results) and chat about the implications for sales on launching and managing an account-based marketing program.
