Over the years – salespeople have been instructed to:
- Create or Refine your Target Market List
- Identify Key Personnel
- Write Scripts for Making Phone Calls, Leaving Messages, Sending Emails, Note w/Business Card
Not as simple as it sounds – You can’t assume that everyone knows how to go about accomplishing these things.
Just because you have 100’s of company names and executive contact information on your account list – doesn’t automatically make these people your client.
Your job as a sales professional is to make contact, cultivate a business relationship, and bring in new business.
Flatiron Sales Strategies deals directly with these issues and various questions many sales people ask:
- Which companies that are best suited for my prods/services?
- Who is my target contact at these companies – what are their titles?
- (You may already have that information)
- What do you say to them? What’s the best way to approach them?
- What are good follow-up strategies to use to get on their radar and stay in touch?
