The following are seven websites that, as a salesperson, I could not live without.  Take a moment to check them out, print out some color copies if you must.  They provide some great services and above all else relieve some of the workload from your own shoulders.

1.PR Web

Gone are the days of manually searching out all of the places you need to send your press releases to.  This great service helps you create your press release and then send it to all the right people with the click of a button.  Mental note, this is for your BUSINESS press release, not the personal ad you wanted to place in The Onion.

Let PR Web do the work and send your press releases for you.

2.Hoovers

There are a lot of lead generation sites out there.  Hoover, is a great value and a quality service.  Spend the bucks and have a lead list generated for you.  Creating it on your own is not worth your time.  It’s not your Mom’s vacuum cleaner, but it might just help you clean up!

Hoovers will generate your targeted lead list.
