February 9, 2020
Do you run a business that requires B2B selling or relationship building? Are you struggling to fill your calendar with appointments with new prospects or suppliers? Would you like to show up to work each day with 3-5 pre-qualified appointments in your calendar so you can focus solely on presenting and closing? What I have just described is not a pipe dream. It's real, and if you implement the strategy discussed in the interview, it is completely achievable.  On the show with me today is Ravi Abuvala; a B2B lead generation wizard who is well known for the success he's had scaling his own digital agency, as well as helping other digital agency owners to grow their revenue faster than they ever thought possible; all thanks to Ravi's brilliant combination of leveraging systems and virtual assistants to fill their calendars with 20-30 pre-qualified appointments every week. Whether you are an Amazon wholesale seller looking for new supplier relationships, a digital agency owner looking for new clients, or virtually any other B2B business owner looking for an effective way to generate a steady stream of qualified appointments for your sales team, this episode is for you.
