When it comes to communicating with your prospects, are your conversations all about you? Are they all about your company? Or do you use that opportunity to engage with them, to learn about them, and to tell them which of their problems you can solve? If you aren’t engaging with them, you aren’t going to know how to properly serve their needs, and they will just find someone else.

In this episode of INSIDE Inside Sales, Darryl has the opportunity to discuss engagement with Jarrod Best-Mitchell, the accomplished and sought-after Sales Trainer from Help Me Sell. Darryl and Jarrod have a fantastic conversation about effective ways to engage your prospects, as well as ways to create opportunities for engagement. They also will show you how to integrate branding, share which channels can be most effective, and ways to build credibility through consistency. Learn how to give value and get value through engagement, only on this episode of INSIDE Inside Sales!

Creatively Energetic perhaps this is the phrase that best describes Jarrod Best- Mitchell a sales industry leader and professional with over 15 years’ experience. Jarrod has nurtured and developed his skills and techniques in the art of communicating products and brand story in both B2B and B2C markets. Multinational organizations such as Digicel; DHL; Nokia; Microsoft and Samsung have all benefitted from Jarrod’s specific skillset.
