In sales terms, it’s the ability to focus on promoting your product or service over and over again (from different angles if necessary) until there are no more possibilities for a successful sale. With an ROI almost double that of coldcalling and networking, email marketing should be the go-to method for salespeople looking to get ahead.
Coldcalling has long been a preferred method of outbound prospecting, but its effectiveness has dropped off for some. Moving very quickly to change the focus — from new campaigns targetting industries we would not have invested much in to identifying potential new angles to opening discussions. LinkedIn chat is saving my life.
You can also consider having multi-level QBRs to cover all angles of the performance evaluation and forecasting. Make sure you review every stage of the sales funnel that may hold insights: inbound leads, cold-calls made, emails sent, meetings held, opportunities created, target accounts touched, demos given and deals closed.
Pre-digital marketing, traditional lead generation involved reaching out to unaware buyers through outbound marketing tactics such as cold-calling, direct mail, or media advertising to introduce them to products or services in the hope of convincing them to convert. Come at inbound from a different angle.
Don’t just reinvent the wheel and call it a day; think of different angles that can be used to get in front of your prospects: LinkedIn voice messages. Coldcalls are good, but they’re not all you have. RELATED: Why The Sales World Sucks at Earning Referral Business and How You Can Change The Game.
You aren’t exactly coldcalling during a closing conversation – you should be using a sales strategy suited to the moment: 1. Sharp angle close The sharp angle close is also known as the discount close. The sharp angle close is an attempt to edge out the competition and build trust with a new client or customer.
I also ask “why have referrals been so difficult?” Brendon tells what he sees as the difference between having a partner referral introduction approach and what a lot of people think of the sales channel channel approach. Why have referrals been so difficult? This and a lot more! Matt: All right.
And also, by the way, ask for referrals and ask them to be a reference and ask for testimonials and five star reviews and ask them to be a part of a case study and ask them to give product feedback on and on and on and on. Every good thing in my professional life has come from cold outreach in some capacity. Coldcalling sucks.
