I rarely use LinkedIn to sell anymore. One reason is that my target market does not use the platform frequently (tennis and pickleball professionals). Although, there are a ton of people who play those 2 sports that are on here.Here is why I am passionate about UTR Sports and why selling it is so natural to me that it feels like I am not selling:- the ONLY software TMS for both racket sports- the most trusted tennis rating in the world for professional, college, and junior tennis- A brand new pickleball rating that will give pickleball players a more accurate understanding of everyone's level- The ability to use the platform to create events for both sports to make your club more revenue, give your members more competitive playing opportunities, and to increase exposure to your clubThat's a really easy sell in my opinion. You either NEED that, or you don't. I have my own experience using the platform to fundraise money and run tournaments. I have onboarded clubs who have made thousands in their first year.All of this to say, I enjoy talking about the benefits of UTR and helping new clubs get from Point A to Point B.If you know any tennis or pickleball clubs that could be SUPERCHARGED, show them where to find me. Let's GO and let's GROW! 🎾 #Tennis #Pickleball #Saassales
