Mmm, boooofies!
To be more specific, a technology reseller that can sell just about anything tech related.

I actually have a fairly strong tech background from college working in server network security for a server hosting company, but got out of it and have been doing marketing/sales the last decade. Still, a lot of it stayed with me.

Guess what I am asking is if anyone has any experience with this specifically, or if it is any different from a normal B2B sales job where you have to build your territory from the ground up. I have heard that small businesses are easy to sell to, but it seems like a pain to cold call a large company and work your way to the CTO or CIO and start selling there.

Thanks for the advice everyone! It seems like it is going to be all about reaching out to the IT sourcing people, like No Butt Stuff said, with a tacit "go ahead" from the CTO's. The nice thing is I can sell to just about any industry, but man, building a pipeline is going to be an uphill battle. Lots of cold calling, knocking on doors, etc.

And I'll look into Sales Navigator, that seems like it could really help.
