Should You "Buy an Appointment” to Build Pipeline?

20170413-tweet-vanella.jpg

In this interview with Mari Anne Vanella, CEO of the Vanella Group, we discuss how an outside service can be effective in getting an appointment with the right person which leads to a sales pipeline boost. 

When asked, salespeople will always, always say that what they need is a qualified lead.  No one can deny that there is no better qualified lead than an appointment with the right person that is considering purchasing a product in their space.
