Target Qualified Sales Prospects
Overview
Contrary to popular belief, prospecting isn't about contacting as many people as possible. More calls don’t always translate to more sales. Sales reps often don't receive targeted lists of genuine prospects. Success in cold calling requires a detailed, multi-step approach. Here’s how you can enhance your cold calling and prospecting efforts:
1. Identify Target Industries
Focus on industries that are more likely to need your product and have clear buying cycles. Your target list should include one or two industries with the budget and inclination to purchase your product.
2. Define Target Job Titles
Identify the individuals responsible for purchasing or influencing the decision in your target organizations. Typically, these key players hold specific titles. Narrow your focus to the top three job titles that matter most for your sales.
3. Create a Prospect List
Filter out those who don’t fit your target industry or job title. If you lack such a list, consider buying one that suits your criteria. Ensure your list consists of individuals with the need and authority to buy your product.
4. Develop an Emotional Message
Think like your prospective customer. Identify the problem your product solves that keeps them awake at night. Craft a message that resonates emotionally rather than factually.
Examples:
- Factual: We have the best alarm systems.- Emotional: What if your premises become vulnerable?
- Factual: Our fasteners exceed industry standards.
- Emotional: Would your clients be satisfied with an inferior product?
- Factual: Our consultants are certified.
- Emotional: Why risk your company data with uncertified consultants?
5. Test Your List and Message
Verify that those on your list are indeed the right contacts. Test your message to see if it resonates. If not, revisit your assumptions and adjust accordingly.
6. Prepare Them for Your Message
Before making a sales call, introduce your message to potential customers two or three times through emails, letters, advertisements, or trade shows. Prepping the customer increases the chances they’ll be receptive when you call.
In sum, by strategically targeting prospects, carefully crafting your message, and preparing your audience, you'll enhance your cold-calling effectiveness and boost your sales success.
