GENERATE MORE LEADS AND HIGHER SALES-WITHOUT COLD CALLING! Salespeople everywhere are learning the hard way that cold calling just doesn't work anymore. Yet, millions of salespeople are stuck in the past, using twentieth-century sales techniques to try to lure twenty-first-century customers. But today's consumers have no patience for the sales pitch-that is, if they even answer the phone at all. There has to be an easier way to find more and better prospects-and there is. Today's most successful salespeople are using modern technology to bring prospects to them, rather than fishing for prospects over the phone.

Based on interviews with top performers, proven marketing tactics, and his own sales experience, Rumbauskas shows you how to make more money in sales without the high-pressure tactics and closing speeches everyone is sick of.
