Julie Ewald from Impressa Solutions Shares Insights into Marketing Agencies on Agency Connect

More info about Impressa Solutions:

Julie Ewald from Impressa Solutions  joined us at the Agency Connect podcast.

Impressa Solutions is an inbound marketing and sales enablement agency that specializes in working with B2B folks in tech, lots of software and SaaS folks, and also consultancies.

“If I get a really bad pitch or if someone messed up their sequence to me as part of their sales process, I’ll email back, tell them what to do better, and CC their boss, or their boss’s boss. Basically anyone I can find on Linkedin. I’ll reach out and try to sell them or reply to them why they need to revamp their sales process and offer them sales training. Vendors ned to respect you but then the opportunity for the agency to bring it under control is actually quite interesting.”

Check out some of the other value bombs shared by Julie in this episode!

Thank you Julie Ewald for your candid and honest story at another Agency Connect podcast.
