Quick Tips on How to Target, Connect and Convert Sales Leads with Craig Klein
- Everybody’s trying to move the sales numbers. That’s not unique or different. It’s all about how do we do it, right?
- So we just try to make it easy for the salesperson to see the lead when it’s available, also to give teams a way to sort of autoroute leads to the right people at the right time.
- What that means is that leaves zero time for salespeople to focus on the leads that said no last month or a quarter ago or six months ago. When you run the numbers, that is such a lost opportunity. It’s just huge for any business.
- If you and I talked six months ago and I presented you my product and you said no and now you’re on my lead nurturing campaign.
- Stepping into the customer’s world and understanding their needs is the number one way to create good marketing content.
- Now what I see in articles and webinars and things is it takes seven or eight touches to close a sale. You’ve got to automate some of it.
- We like to on not just how many new leads did I talk to but how many new leads did I identify, whatever that looks like in your world.
- What I see businesses do is they try to motivate salespeople to be part of the system by handing them nice little bells and whistles, and that just doesn’t work.
