How do you follow up with leads/prospects? I used to pride myself in follow up... But as time went on I saw my success/conversion rate decrease... Why was that? I came to realize I was following up all wrong... I would often follow up by saying things like... "Hey, just following up..." or "Wanted to circle back..." or "Just touching base..." I realized this was the wrong approach... I was setting the wrong tone and approach I wanted with a customer... I needed to adjust and lead the sales cycle... Here is what I have done to change my follow up and have seen a huge response rate in making sure we move toward next steps... The key is to make note of your last conversation and what next steps were discussed... Here is an example, "Hey Todd, last we spoke you mentioned you wanted to find a solution by end of this quarter. Does it make sense to schedule the POC for this upcoming Friday?" The key phrase has been, "does it make sense..." You are showing the customer you were listening and you are also leading the conversation... You arent just waiting around hoping one day you move to next steps... You have to be proactive and lead the sales cycle... What would you add to your follow up? You got this! 👊 #accountexecutive #saassales #techsales #prospecting #followup

Having a vision is one thing. Achieving consistent sales is another matter entirely. No matter how incredible your products or services may be, getting them in front of the right people can be a mammoth task. It’s not just you – you are most definately not alone.  So many businesses don’t get enough interest from their key buyer personas for a number of reasons - here are a few: 🦈You’d rather swim with sharks than make icky cold calls to complete strangers. 🏃🏾♂️You haven’t recruited the skill set needed for outbound work. You will know this if you have ever suggested you “make a few calls” in the weekly team meeting and everyone ran for the hills. ⭐All of your time has been invested into delivering amazing customer service but lead generation has fallen by the wayside. You don’t have the time to pick up the phone and call potential buyers. Without these qualified leads, your business is operating on sheer luck. Your Lead Generation can help, our role in your sales crusade  is to generate inbound enquiries from people who actually want to do business with you.

I just found a secret sales hack.... As simple as it may be, understanding your clients is the secret sales hack I found out 😂😂😂 Continue Reading.... Every client is differentiated into two divisions POTENTIAL CLIENTS (LEADS) KINETIC CLIENT (PROSPECTS). Let's bring in PHYSICS a little into this 😂😂 Kinetic Energy is Energy at motion (A PROSPECT) while Potential Energy is Energy at rest (A LEAD). The same way it applies to your sales. This is a secret psychology hack that can boost your sales. Let's bring this into our sales. 🪄🪄🪄 The key difference between a prospect and a lead lies in their qualification and level of engagement. Here's a breakdown: Lead: A lead is someone who has shown initial interest in what you offer, but their fit as a customer is yet to be determined. They might have downloaded a white paper, signed up for a free trial, or even filled out a contact form. Leads are at the top of the sales funnel a large group with some potential for conversion. Prospect: A prospect is a warmer contact who has been qualified as a good fit for your product or service. This qualification process usually involves assessing factors like their budget, needs, and decision-making authority. Prospects have typically shown more engagement than leads, perhaps by responding to emails, attending a webinar, or scheduling a call. They are considered more likely to convert into paying customers and have moved further down the sales funnel Here's an analogy: Imagine sifting for gold. Leads are like a pile of pebbles with some potential to contain gold flakes. Prospects are the smaller pebbles that have been panned out and show more promise of containing valuable gold nuggets. Now how can you push a LEAD INTO BECOMING A PROSPECT? Follow me and turn on the notifications so that you will be notified on my next post on this Hope you found value in this post...

When it comes to sales prospecting and lead generation, what do you rank as your #1 concern? For me, I would rank choosing words that have the most impact on buyers as #1, by far. #b2bsales #objectionhandling #appointmentsetter   The words we choose matter. The words chosen must impact buyers enough to "raise their hands" or book more time with us.   Our personal comfort in delivering those words is irrelevant.   The clarity of what you do, your credibility, their perception of what you might do for them and their desire for the value you might deliver, is what affects buyers.   In my mind, prioritizing being non-salesy (whatever that means) sounding conversational and staying in a personal comfort zone trying to avoid a "no" is not a recipe for effective sales messaging.      IMHO the top consideration should be, are my words powerful enough such that a buyer, someone that recognizes a need and is going to write a check to me or one of my competitors in the next three to 15 months, would be given cause for pause and enabled to conclude that I am worth more time?   Saying words that impact buyers sufficiently such that they would continue the call, or read an email and conclude that a discovery call was worthwhile is goal #1.   Doing what we are personally comfortable with, consider non-salesy and comfy conversation is totally irrelevant to the question, do the words we choose impact buyers sufficiently to move to the next step?   Below is my top 10 list of sales messaging articles.   What is your #1 concern when generating leads or setting discovery calls? https://lnkd.in/eevsjwNN
