The big question right now is this;
“What should my sales messaging look like during the pandemic?”
I mean, we want to kind.
We want to be sensitive.
We want to help!
So what can we say that’s appropriate and;
As a bonus, actually help us stand out during a time like this?
SEND A “RESOURCE EMAIL”!
A “resource email” is simply that;
A resource, NOT, a sales pitch!
Think about the things that might be helpful right now to your prospects and clients.
How about a resource about navigating the reopening phase?
How about a resource that addresses “doing more with less”?
Stretching a budget?
An article with tips on working from home, time management, being more productive?
Fun things they can do over the summer during Covid-19. For example, Walmarts throughout the US will be offering FREE drive-in movies shortly. Maybe a client or prospect would enjoy a night out with their family?
How about a resource on keeping your sanity during trying times?
Is there an app that might be helpful?
A checklist?
A podcast episode?
A calculator type resource?
A free webinar or virtual event?
e-Book?
When the pandemic first hit, I sent my LinkedIn connections a link to 300 FREE sales lessons as an alternative to Netflix.
How about some tips on employee morale, servicing clients, instilling confidence?
How about sharing a best practice you’ve noticed during the pandemic? Perhaps something your company has been doing? Something from your prospect’s industry.
Invite them to a helpful Facebook group.
How about ideas on how to generate revenue, increase profitability, improve efficiencies?
So here it is in a nutshell . . .
Step 1 Give thought to what might be helpful, right now! Ask your teammates to do the same.
Step 2 Search for things like articles, podcasts, apps, PDFs, free webinars, videos, e-Books, audiobooks, etc Variety is a good thing!
Think about things you can create or curate.
Sales Managers: Have a sales team meeting around this topic and create a Google Doc with everyone’s contributions.
Step 3 Send an email where the message is simply “I was thinking of you and thought this might help”.
By the way . . .
I’ve tested this approach for 10 years now and not only has it been well received;
It’s really appreciated right NOW!
Oh, and it’s created dialogue because recipients actually respond to helpful things!
