CHERRY HILL, NJ – December 19, 2008 – Sales leaders and executives can download a podcast recording of the successful launch episode of “Let’s Talk Sales Culture,” the internet based live call-in show featuring Todd Cohen, the Philadelphia-based president of Sales Leader LLC.
Cohen, an expert in creating high-performance sales cultures that achieve significant improvement in a company’s sales performance, launched the program December 18 on the popular Internet talk radio service, BlogTalkRadio. Cherry Hill-based Professional Podcasts LLC is assisting Cohen with technical production of the broadcasts. The next program takes place at 4 p.m. EST on January 15.
“The successful launch of our BlogTalkRadio talk show demonstrates that new channels of social media communications have an important place in business-to-business conversations about organizational training and excellence,” said Todd Cohen. “In the first show we fielded questions from a diverse audience of sales, marketing, and other business professionals anxious to improve their selling skills and the sales culture at their organizations. Our future shows will expand on that conversation by including guests from the sales and marketing field to discuss in greater depth some of these issues.”
