The average marketing team spends a good amount of time creating content and comparatively very little on promoting that content.
Think about the last blog post you published: You probably spent a handful of hours writing, hit publish, maybe shared it on Twitter and LinkedIn, and called it a day.

The reason seems to be because these high performers are doing what comes naturally to them. These are not skills that can be taught or learned. It’s about behaviors that “fire naturally” in client-facing sales situations.
Specific traits are sales accelerators. >>>READ MORE
