Sales Advocacy Method breakdown w/ Justin Lohman | SOS Ep. 24
Send us Fan MailDominating in sales can only be achieved by creating Advocates.There aren't enough hours in the day to replicate your efforts. You need others, like you or your customers to help sell for you.By cloning your efforts with advocates, you can sell on multi-fronts instead of one-on-one interactions. The Sales Advocacy Method, or S.A.M., is a blueprint to take your prospects from Unaware to Advocate, then have them help you bring more from Unaware to Advocate and so on and so forth. This replication is the key to dominating in the outside sales.Join the discussion if you wish to dominate. Share with a friend who needs to dominate as well.Connect with Justin:justin@rithmai.comLinkedIn:Justin Lohman | LinkedInTo connect with the show: Follow, Subscribe, like, 5 stars & DownloadConnect with Mike:Mike@survivingoutsidesales.comLinkedIn: Mike O'Kelly | LinkedInIG: Mike_OKellyLinktree: Mike O'KellyGo checkout & subscribe to the following YouTube channels & Websites:Connect with Surviving Outside Sales-YouTube: Surviving Outside Sales - YouTubeWebsite: SurvivingOutsideSales.comIG: SurvivingOutsideSalesSponsored By:Rithm AI-Youtube: Get Rithm - Rithm AI Sales Technology - YouTubeWebsite: GetRithm.comIG: Rithm AIProspecting,Targeting&Routing,SimplifiedIt's time to Optimize.
