A Massive Covid-19 Related Occurrence Is Starting To Impact Sales Reps. Here’s How YOU Can Leverage It!

Posted August 19, 2020

For those of you who aren’t familiar with “trigger events”, they are compromised of things that are going on in your prospect’s and/or client’s world that can lead to a higher probability of someone needing your solution.

A simple example would be the pandemic being a trigger event for the need for masks, ventilators, hand sanitizer, social distancing signage, home delivery services, virtual meeting solutions, etc, but;

We’re starting to experience another massive one and, you really need to LEVERAGE IT!

Ready?

With the reopening of business will come new roles for your prospects and clients.

Many who were furloughed will return.

Many who were in transition will find a new company to call home.

Some will jump ship right now because the timing seems right.

Others will be promoted to fill a gap.

This is a major “trigger event” because people new to a role have needs.

They have challenges and opportunities.

They want to look like rock stars!

In some cases, you’ll have someone who is open to your solution when their predecessor WASN’T!

That’s where YOU come in with a compelling reason to have a dialogue NOW versus later.

Where can you find these types of opportunities?

LinkedIn!

In the words of the immortal Bill Engvall;

Here’s your sign . . .

In the weeks/months ahead, you’re going to see lots of “Congratulate Jane on her new role.” notifications.

New role, new job, companies hiring, changes in leadership;

Those are all “trigger events”!

They might need your help or maybe they won’t, but;

You have a much higher probability of embracing outreach that underscores a “trigger event” than you do when you approach cold and hope for the best!

But will you be listening for this?

I would!

I’ll be talking more about this (and sharing some ideas on HOW to approach these types of prospects), during our 50 Ways To ROCK Your Cold Calls, Emails, and Sales Messaging webinar on August 27th.
