We help individuals grow their careers and companies grow revenue through the creation and nurturing of long-term relationships. One of the myths many technology professionals live with is, "I am not a sales person, so I can't be a leader in the business." At ConnectPoints, we believe sales leaders are made, not born. Over 20+ years, we've built and iterated on a framework that can take an effective technology manager and make them a sales machine. We don't view sales as a pure business transaction with exchange of value. Sales is about much more than exchanging value. It's about helping people. It's about connecting with People.We built ConnectPoints as a platform to help others grow their teams and their businesses. We gamify the process of staying in tough with your relationships and focus on the activities we know matter and move the needle. Predicting revenue in a services organization can be challenging without the right KPIs. Sales funnels, revenue, and proposals are the OUTCOME of staying in touch with networks. We wanted to help organizations predict that outcome before it was too late. How often have you looked at your pipeline and said, "we need more deals?" Well, by the time you realize that, you are probably already 6 months too late to course correct.ConnectPoints is the answer to tracking the right metrics!
