Looking to reach sales people, where do they hang out?
I’m approaching the first basic version of the app I’m building. It’s target audience is sales people in b2b companies.
I already have friends within those “circles”, but I’m curious if anyone knows forums or groups that sales people hang out in.
Also, is anyone else here targeting the same kind of audience? Would love to get in contact with you as well, hopefully we’ll get to exchange knowledge!
Best,
That's an interesting one.
LinkedIn is a place to look, but sales people don't tend to gravitate to 'sales people groups' in the same way marketers and developers do - they tend to focus more on groups about the industry they are selling into.
Another thing you probably want to consider is that (in general) sales people don't buy stuff for work - their bosses make purchasing and workflow decisions.
I've led sales teams before and have a reasonable network. If you want, you can shoot me an email with a few details and, if appropriate, I'll make a few intros :)
Thanks @louisswiss , much appreciated! Will reach out whenever this version is released.
I would still try LinkedIn under hashtag #sales , see how it goes.
Also, Sales people read a lot in Sales magazines and Business magazines. Maybe you can find a digital magazine, blog or so on where they let you post?
Gold idea, in my mind our culture as devs/founders differ, but I suppose there would exist some blogs/zines online where they keep up to date on the latest trends within sales or related, good idea! Thanks @belentorres
Linkedin.
Good point :)
Hi Adrian, I came across your post from a search and I'm so curious to learn how this has turned out for you?
