Allen Schlesinger swears that he hasn't made a cold call in 5 years, utilizing LinkedIn's Sales Navigator as well as various online tools to get to the decision-maker faster. Schlesinger describes how he has made his successful sales methodology grow while at the Austin Spurs, becoming the first NBADL rep in the league's history to sell over $500,000 in season ticket sales. Schlesinger talks about seeking out alternative information, such as home-buying, political contributions and LinkedIn mutual connections, in order to discover just who he should be talking to about purchasing Austins Spurs ticket packages.

    What is the average price of a ticket? Why isn't he in NBA? Something seems off. It seems all about location of the team and size of the city/arena/inventory....But gotta give credit when it's due! Nice job Allen!!

    What are you doing about renewals? How is there so much premium inventory each new season?
