Getting Past the Admin Gatekeepers
The magazine opened doors and got past
the gatekeepers due to its perceived value
and relevancy for the decision maker
Assisting the Sales Team
Sales representatives report that sharing the
magazine with the prospect changes the
very nature of the first call conversation.
Instead of immediately diving into the details
of products and services, the prospect would
often start talking about the topics in the
magazine
