Speed Up Your Sales – STC, Jill Konrath
Top salespeople are not promiscuous prospectors. You’ll never find them randomly dialing for dollars hoping to stumble across unhappy decision makers. They know that effective prospecting requires a focus on two very critical things.
- Fit: Identifying organizations that have needs, issues and challenges that can be addressed by their firm’s services.
- Urgency: Finding prospects have an immediate need for their service and will take action quickly once they’ve been contacted.
That’s why they leverage triggering events – changes in the prospect’s internal & external business environment – to set up meetings with targeted decision makers. This is a strategy that most sellers don’t even know exists, yet top sales professionals use all the time.
Description:
In this upcoming Sales Training Camp session with internationally-recognized sales strategist Jill Konrath, you will learn:
- Why traditional prospecting strategies actually slow down the sales process and derail potential opportunities.
- What works with today’s overworked & stressed out decision makers.
- How to evaluate the business potential of the different types of triggering events.
- What it takes to discover your own triggering events – ones that will speed up your sales cycle.
- How to watch for triggering events so that you can strike quickly when the opportunity is hot.
- Sales 2.0 technologies that will immediately alert you when triggering events occur.
- How to most effectively contact a prospect after you identify a triggering event that’s occurred in their business.
