The best blogs on B2B sales
11. Salesdorado
Salesdorado is a blog created by Axel Lavergne and Cartelis, a CRM consultancy. We have surrounded ourselves with seasoned B2B sales practitioners to create a media rich in tips and actionable resources to sell more and sell better.
We were a bit fed up with pseudo growth hackers/influencers who are too detached from reality and who sell a lot of dreams, but not much in the way of concrete results. We try to keep a business-first approach, always trying to bring more efficiency to each step of the sales process.
The objective is to combine new methods and our knowledge of data and automation with best business practices to build real business processes that generate business.
