IT Software/Services Sales

[.bishop]

Thought this might be a good place to do some networking across the country if this works.

Anyone in software sales or services?

I used to sell PLM Software, was working wtih Siemens selling Team Center and their CAD software.

i did it for 3 years, and made some great money.

I just switched to a new company, Pingtone, providing VoIP as a hosted service. I am starting up their Federal division.

I have never done any commercial sales, and am going to give a few deals a try. Hopefully it closes faster than any government sales.

Any sales tips other sales guys have? i have always dealt with C level guys. Not sure how the govvie C levels differ with the Private sector.

Interesting, you must be in the Pingtone building off of 28? I've always wondered what they did.

my office is there.

that is the correct building. we offer a pretty solid solution. I personally never liked voip coming from a neteng background. but their network is bullet proof and sold me to join them. i didn't go for the money

i went for the potential. where are you located? arlington to commuting to ashburn?
