@viragoventures turned two years old this month!

When I started, I was focused on sales training, but that evolved to CRM implementation and process improvement, and I'm so glad it did; all this (and my past experience) led to my partnership with @Zoho!

I love when the first day of the month is on a Monday!

Who is going to @Zoho's Zoholics in Pleasanton, CA, next week?

I am, and I've very excited! If you're going, let me know!

I miss tanning beds. I haven't touched one since I was 24, and I'm grateful for that now, but I do miss them.

[Sara Beam @itssarabeam]

Six calls in one day is my new record.

Don't start your email with "I haven't heard back, so I assume you're not interested" - so many negatives.

[Sara Beam @itssarabeam]

When I open a cold email, I respond and say I am not interested. A few minutes later, another email from them lands in my inbox on a Sunday. I know you didn't write that.

This is a problem with automated sales sequences; it's obvious that it's an automated response.

@SamanthaAnderl The best! 🙌

[Sara Beam @itssarabeam]

@MindySThomas That is really living on the edge lol

[Sara Beam @itssarabeam]

Re-watching The Hills after living in LA for 7 years is really entertaining.

I thought these places were glamorous in high school, but it was only The Grove.

Buyers now prefer to visit the vendor's website (60%), attend a webinar hosted by the vendor (55%), listen to a vendor-hosted podcast (47)%, and get content assets on social media (68%) before meeting a seller in person.

[Sara Beam @itssarabeam]

Nearly half (49%) of B2B buyers are now millennials, or Generation Z. Are your sales and marketing strategies aligned with that demographic?

If your subscribers have to reply to opt out of your email that they didn't sign up for, they are very likely to mark it as spam. This hurts your sender's reputation and will impact your deliverability; include an unsubscribe link.
