The Journey From Prospect To Client

Posted November 5, 2019

I’m sure that we’d all agree that a lot can (and usually does) happen during a prospect’s decision making journey.

Most sales reps are properly equipped to handle to The Discovery Call, The Demo, and even The Close but;

They seriously lack a communication plan when it comes to what should be done between meetings.

Their communication becomes very typical and can be summarized by the phrase;

“I’m calling to check in”

And before you give yourself a round of applause for never spewing that line;

Continually saying stuff like;

“I’m calling to followup”

“Wanted to see if you made a decision”

Rates pretty high on the “Sh*tty Ways To Nurture A Prospect” list!

“You Need To Add Value On Every Call” Is Nothing More Than A Cute Sound Bite!

I have to say, that I’m pretty much done with the line “You need to add value on every call”.

It’s become the go to sound bite and meanwhile;

Most people don’t have even the foggiest clue as to how you “Add value on every call” or;

They actually believe that by continually calling to “check in” “follow up”, etc, they ARE in fact, “adding value”.

For once, I’d like someone to actually give examples as to how we “add value”.

So there’s your challenge ladies and gentlemen;

Think about ALL the ways you can keep in touch, between prospect meetings;

Without “Calling to Check In

To help prime the pump, here are a few ideas to consider;

Send a resource

Offer an idea

Introduce them to someone they should know

What else can we do to “add value” between meetings?

Sales Managers: Please make this the topic of your next sales meeting and make it your mission to NEVER let a rep off the hook who generalizes their tactics by saying “You have to add value”. Ask them for specifics.
