Carew International Launches Social Selling Training Programs for Sales Professionals, Sales Leaders

Company to Help Clients Leverage Social Media for Sales Growth

CINCINNATI, Feb. 8 /PRNewswire/ — Carew International®, a leading provider of sales training and sales leadership training programs, has launched two new social selling training programs: Selling with Social for Sales Professionals™and Selling with Social for Sales Leaders™. Carew CEO Jeff Seeley believes the expansion is perfectly aligned with the company’s mission to drive dramatic growth through sales performance improvement. “Social media is an incredibly powerful selling tool, but engaging this network can be confusing and overwhelming. The vast majority of sales professionals and sales leaders don’t know how… or even where to begin,” stated Seeley. “This is not about modest incremental sales growth. Leveraging social media for sales growth is a game changer and will create an immediate competitive advantage for any organization that deploys it,” he continued.

We share a common focus: to teach sales how to create value for their customers and support dramatic bottom-line results!”
