Ask HN: Where do sales people hangout?

1 points by this-ali 5y ago ↗ HN

Software developers hangout on twitter & Indiehackers Startups founders and Investors hangout on HN (This is just my go to platform for this type of content)

I recently started getting into sales and I am not sure where do salespeople hangout?

Most sales people I found on twitter are too sale-y. "Hi I'm <name>, buy my book now 'How to make 100,000 by a writing book' Course coming out soon."

I follow certain people on twitter for their authentic content.

@RGA for B2B Marketing @randfish for SEO @visualizevalue for thinking clearly @david_perell for writing better @dcancel & @davegerhardt for Marketing

Is there a person or a community that I can follow where they talk about sales?

[hope this was not confusing]

In monthly, quarterly and annual review meetings ;)

On a serious note, Doing sales is more of establishing a relationship and then pushing the sale. All of these "how to make 100,000 by writing a book" types, they will just start with pushing the product and hence a very low or zero chance of sales.

If you are good with talks and building trust/ relationship, sales will happen eventually.
