Month End Review – April 2013

As April comes to a close I’d like to do a quick review to discuss some of the major topics I posted in the last 4 weeks.

First of all if you’ve shared any of my post because you thought they were helpful, or worth sharing, I greatly appreciate it. It’s readers like you that help make The Sales Pro Blog what it is today.

During the four full weeks in April I deticated myself to posting twice a day, Monday through Friday. And a lot has happened since then.

I’m not going to recap on the extent of my April Blitz right now though. That is reserved for it’s own post. But I did want to thank everyone for the encouragement, support, comments, and retweets I received.

Below I’ve listed all the post from the month of April. As you can see there were a variety of topics covered during the April Blitz.

For the most part though I tried to focus on Professional Branding and Prospecting. Two of my favorite topics that I will continuously focus on here at The Sales Pro Blog.

I hope you enjoyed these posts and learn something valuable you can use in your own sales career.

I’m really excited about my upcoming post featuring the April Blitz. Twice posts a day was not easy. But I was successful in my endeavor so for that I am greatful.

Moving Forward

The month of May will be  focusing on negotiation skills along with a few random topics. In addition I hope to do at least one SlideShare deck this month and maybe even my first video.

But what I’m really excited about is my Property Management Software Sales In… posts. These posts will be centered around lessons I learn from visiting various customers and prospects as a software sales pro in the Los Angeles area.

I’ll be doing these kinds of posts for two reasons. The first is for SEO purposes. When someone searches [property management software] I one day hope that The Sales Pro Blog comes up in the first few search results.

This is part of my content marketing strategy and one way I can be a sales pro within my career.

The second reason is because these are going to be some of my best tips that I’m always excited to share. I’ve already started working on a few posts, and as I go on more and more meetings, I’ll be sure to come across other great sales tips that I can pass on.

On a side note, if you have any sales tips or tricks you’d like me to showcase here on The Sales Pro Blog let me know either by commenting below, or letting me know on the using the contact page or any of the other various social media profiles, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Pinterest. Be sure to join the conversation.

I hope to see you around and hear more from you.
