In this episode, Chris talks about Sales in Esports.
- Understanding The power of a great sales team, no matter what industry you’re currently operating in.
- There are some esports & gaming companies that already employ great sales staff, take a look at FaZe clan for example with Jeffery Pabst and his team, but we’ve seen many others that do not.
- In one week recently, we had 4 different esports entities, from Tier-2 teams to publisher-based leagues approach us and ask for help in selling sponsorship assets as a commission-only service.
- While its great that we are getting attention internally, there’s a different sales solution that I would like to propose
