A Counterintuitive Approach To Hunting For New Business

Posted November 15, 2016

Conventional wisdom would have you avoid the industries/companies that are hurting right now but;

Sometimes the “hurting” is your best reason to contact them!

Why?

Because when you’re hurting, you’re more likely to invest in something to make that hurt go away.

Note: You had better to be able to clearly articulate how your product or service can generate top line revenue or offer bottom line savings.

I like to visualize my competitors as a pack that typically runs in a certain direction.

While there’s nothing wrong with running with that pack (especially if its towards opportunity) I recognize that the pack oftentimes runs right past OTHER opportunities. I’m also here to tell you that there’s less competition with those opportunities, and that can be an AWESOME place for a sales rep to sell!

Oh, and don’t EVER assume that a company, that’s bleeding,  can’t afford to, or find the means to,  invest in a tourniquet.
