EXPERIENCE
Raymond L. Mascola, MBA, Sales Leader and Founder of Targeting Sales Growth LLC
For the last 30 plus years, I have successfully partnered with small, medium and Fortune 500 companies to help my clients “identify and close business for sales growth." My practical expertise in marketing, creative sales solutions and hands-on client sales mentoring have consistently provided my clients with workable solutions. My focus is to collaborate with clients so they can take ownership of all final decisions and to implement workable and scalable processes for future company revenue growth.
I mentor my clients to understand the true fundamentals behind how and why my customers are utilizing their products and services to positively impact their businesses. In addition, I research the reasons why their competitors are succeeding in the marketplace so that my clients can respond effectively.
By dedicating myself as “All-In” and treating and understanding my client’s business as my own, I guide clients from strategic discussions to tactical plans to actual sales calls with identified decision makers, depending on the requirements of each client. I also help my clients with creative sales direction on where in the market to sell their product and services, and how to determine the compelling message to close business with key companies in that market.
