Are Bird Dogs Obsolete?
I've always disliked the term "bird dog" [...] I always felt it was a narrow and demeaning description of a marketers role.
Selling requires more than simply finding and qualifying prospects. It requires building solid relationships [...] It requires an on‑going sales effort with regular calls focused on target markets and clients who have ongoing facilities programs with opportunities for repeat business.
