Bridging the Gap to Better B2B Sales
Crossing The Chasm From B2B Marketing to Sales
If your company sells to other companies, your sales team needs quality leads – qualified prospects warmed up and ready to talk to a salesperson. If your Marketing department isn’t capable of doing lead gen, sales development, and sales qualification, unfortunately, your sales team is burdened with too many jobs. With 3x the work, salespeople often produce one-third the sales. The solution is either to hire more experts, or teach Marketing or Sales new skills.
Today, modern B2B organizations are adding capabilities that traditional Marketing departments can’t provide: prospect sourcing, superior contact data, cold outreach via LinkedIn, emailed and more, sales development, online messaging with rapport building and qualification, and getting prospects “ready to talk” to salespeople.
This high-energy, entertaining, motivational sales keynote (which can be tailored for marketing departments, or a combined meeting of both marketing and salespeople) contains tons of practical advice based on 15 years of research and individual success stories. In this fun, takeaway-oriented program, attendees will learn how to…
Program Highlights
- The 5 biggest mistakes in sourcing prospect data, and the top 3 data sources.
- The latest tips on getting responses from cold email and LinkedIn outreach.
- The 21 Sales Pipeline Blockages, and how to beat each one to accelerate sales.
- The 5 most important questions to ask prospects in the online stage.
- The 5 keys to successful online prospect messaging that drive more qualified prospect meetings.
Sales: What’s Really Working Today?
- LISTENING makes people happy and is one of the first steps to a great sale. Listen and empathize if you want more sales, because when you talk about yourself too much, your likability disappears and so does the prospect. You know those bores everyone avoids because they keep telling the same old stories from 1995 and they never ask what’s new with you? They’re fun for about 10 minutes, but then you’re looking for an exit. So don’t be the jerk everyone avoids- listen and have a dialogue, and you’ll create a better experience and happier customers- plus you’ll probably hear the actual problem and have a chance to solve it by selling them your product or service.
- LIKABILITY makes the connection in prospecting and networking. If you tell someone you hate their hometown, sports team or fashion choices… they probably won’t like you and they’ll buy from someone else. But if you can appear likable and approachable, you start to warm up that prospect. The salespeople who know how to project likability on LinkedIn, Facebook, in email, via text messages and other online methods have a huge advantage in those earlier prospecting and networking stages of sales.
- TRUST creates more sales and more repeat sales. Trust is important even for that first sale. But if you’re selling to the same people repeatedly, it’s critical! And to be trusted long-term, you have to be likable and empathetic. 83% of customers are loyal to the companies and salespeople they trust- so just be yourself, be honest and have integrity- the stuff we learned in kindergarten. It’s that simple- and it works both in person and online in your social networking.
- TECHNOLOGY is now one of the biggest keys to sales success. The kind of technology is different for every salesperson… sometimes it’s just the mobile phone, for some it’s LinkedIn and other social networks, and for some it’s really intense CRM work- but technology has become critical to most top-performing salespeople’s success. When you embrace the power of these devices, databases and tools, you can reach more prospects and make more sales- more easily, more quickly and more profitably.
