in my opinion, it is best to talk directly to your manager to raise issues and concerns. Matters regarding sales and outcomes are primary concerns that need to be addressed. If you are having problems for not having potential customers, it is important to re-assess and come up with better sales and marketing plans to boost your leads. Try to get more exposure in social media and advertise. Select and reach out to people who are considered experts and professionals in the field of sales and marketing. It is also important to make yourself fully equipped and knowledgeable by attending seminars and training related to your field to keep you updated. Have a more persoal approach (being friendly) and respond quickly to any concerns.
