How to Sell Cisco SMB Products and
Win Against the Competition!
Marty Kertman was “transferred” onto the Cisco
Sales Team at Kerrek’s Technologies, and he is not excited!
His first month on the job has been challenging.
He was the Sales Leader on the General Networking team, and
is worried about having to focus on selling CISCO only.
Bill Dyrek is the Cisco Technology Sales Director at Kerrek’s
Technologies and will is tasked with bringing Marty up to
Speed on CISCO!
His worst nightmare continues.
