Another new addition to the new look Sales Community website is video content.

All videos are hosted on You Tube and broadcast on our site, which means we have unlimited bandwidth opportunities, meaning unlimited videos on our site.

Videos will be categorised but the focus remains sales-related & therefore professional content is required at all times.

Sales iQ is a specialist monthly eMagazine, with quality content from a range of experts from around the world.

Members can post forum chat in a wide range of topics including industry based chat, general sales and they can even trade and exchange sales material.


- Sales Forum

With the launch of the new website we have added a blog section for members to read, reply and write their own.

We know our valued contributors possess a wealth of knowledge on the topic of selling, sales management and everything sales and their responses to blog posts would be invaluable to our members.


- Sales Blogs

Contributors can add their own existing blogs, to their member page, create new ones , or add comment to the blogs of others, thus increasing their credibility by sharing their knowledge and expertise.

Perhaps one of the most exciting new additions is our Events search facility.

Whether it is a conference, webinar, webcast, teleseminar, or a training, seminar or coaching event, we will have it listed.
