Target Qualified Sales Prospects
Introduction
Prospecting isn't about contacting every potential customer. Simply making more calls doesn’t guarantee increased sales. Often, sales teams don't start with refined lists of true prospects. To succeed, a cold-calling campaign needs a structured approach.
Steps to Improve Cold Calling and Prospecting
1. Identify Target Industries
Focus on industries with a clear need for your product and established buying cycles. Narrow your list to one or two industries that have both the resources and inclination to invest in your offering.
2. Define Target Job Titles
Identify the key individuals within your target firms who are decision-makers or influencers. Usually, they hold certain titles or positions. Limit your focus to the top three job titles.
3. Create a Prospect List
Refine your list to include only those in your target industry and with relevant titles. If you lack such a list, consider purchasing one that meets your criteria. Ensure your list comprises potential buyers with the need and authority to purchase.
4. Develop an Emotional Message
Put yourself in the prospect's shoes. Understand their industry and role, and identify the problem your product addresses. Craft a message that speaks to their concerns and captures their interest. Consider these examples highlighting emotional messages:
- Instead of "We have the best alarm systems," try "What would happen if your premises is left vulnerable?"
- Instead of "Our fasteners exceed industry standards," try "Would your clients be happy if you used an inferior product?"
- Instead of "Our network consultants are industry certified," try "Why risk your company data to uncertified consultants?"
5. Test Your List and Message
Reach out to several people on your list to confirm they are the correct contacts. Deliver your message to evaluate its impact. If it doesn't resonate, revisit your strategy starting from step one.
6. Prepare Them for Your Message
Prior to making a sales call, present your message to prospects two or three times through email, letters, advertisements, or trade show presentations. Establishing familiarity with your message increases the likelihood that they'll be receptive during the call.
By following these steps, you're laying the groundwork for more successful cold-calling and prospecting efforts.
