It is very difficult to build a successful business without dedicating time and money to build a robust sales operation.

Whether you are a seasoned entrepreneur/businessperson or just starting your first company, I am sure you are keenly aware of the importance of growth and how critical it will be for the ultimate success of your venture to consistently acquire new ( paying ) customers.

As you probably already know, sales, scratch that. "Direct sales" - as unsexy as the topic may be, is the least expensive way to introduce your product or service to prospective customers.

In all honesty, it is very difficult to build a successful business without dedicating time and money to build a robust sales operation. A strong sales department, as it were, beget new customers, paving the way for revenue growth.

After all, a lack of revenue growth is the number two reason why most Entrepreneurs fail it business. Now, don't get me wrong, "Sales operation," in this case can also be just you in your home office dialing your little heart out. La venta es muy importante.

These are three of my absolute favorite ones:

You can run both outbound and inbound campaigns at the same time. The app is perfect for remote sales teams.
