Can you promote in r/sales?
Everything you need to know about sales, selling, business development, lead generation, prospecting, closing and more! Recommended books are linked in the menu and sidebar. Read our rules before posting or commenting. Selling, recruiting and blog spam will result in an immediate and permanent ban.
The short answer
Do not promote your product or company; participate only as a community member answering questions without mentioning or linking to your offering.
What works here
- Answer questions with impartial advice and experience
- Share general sales techniques, tactics, or case-agnostic examples
- Participate after meeting karma/account age thresholds
What gets posts removed
- Offering your product/service, trials, demos, or soliciting customers
- Revealing who you sell for or affiliation unless explicitly asked (and even then be cautious)
- Posting links, referral codes, recruiting posts, or blog/company content
