How we transitioned from services to software

Nowadays, most startup founders want to develop software—even the ones who run services businesses.  So I'm frequently asked how we transitioned from a sales team on-demand to the inside sales CRM of choice for startups and SMBs. The truth is, there's no easy way to make that transition. But if you let things happen naturally, and you avoid a few common mistakes, the path to success gets a lot less rocky. Read my latest post on the Close.io blog to learn how we transitioned from services to software—and built a killer product in the process. Go get'em!

The #1 reason why cold calling campaigns fail?

Most cold calling campaigns fail for one simple reason. And that reason is NOT what the "experts" want you to believe. They keep saying: "Cold calling is dead!" "2018 is the year of [current buzzword of choice] in sales!" Funny enough, that buzzword always relates back to whatever solution they're peddling :) Here's the truth: every year, tons of companies—large and small—use cold calling to generate revenue. Despite all the social and technological advancements in sales, this hasn't changed. And it won't for a long time to come. But there's a reason why so many people believe cold calling is dead: it's hard to get right. Most companies go about it in the wrong way and fail. If you want your cold calling campaigns to succeed, check out my latest post on the Close.io blog. Go get'em!
