[Hidden-tech] Learning to sell/request for sales mentors

[Shalini Bahl]

Be authentic in that you know how your product can genuinely help meet  
customers needs. Use social media to communicate your knowledge on the  
subject and building relationships with potential clients.

I run monthly meetings ($5) where we discuss different topics. This  
month on the 28th we will be sharing our stories about our social  
media experiences. You may find a mentor there or learn from others  
stories and even maybe find your own story...

Check out the event on my facebook page and please post any questions  
you may have on marketing and social media there and I will try  to  
get back to you ASAP.
