Your Message And Tactics Need To Change PERIOD!

Posted March 25, 2020

If you read my blog post yesterday, you’ll remember that I wrote;

“There are 5 things that comprise your prospecting cadence and EVERY one of these has to be redone during a time like this!

The question mark next to each component is your reminder to step back, rethink, and redo!

Your Message?

The Venue (s) That You Use (Phone, Email, Snail Mail, Text, Drop In, Drop Off, Warm Intro From Mutual Contact, LinkedIn, Etc)?

Spacing Between Attempts To Contact Your “Suspect”?

How Many Overall Attempts You Make?

Duration Of Your Prospecting Cadence?

This ISN’T optional. You need to do this ASAP!

I can tell you as a business owner, who’s on the receiving end of a lot of sales pitches;

There are some really insensitive approaches, such as;

Continually forwarding the same email, with the old “Didn’t hear back from you on this” or “Wanted to get your thoughts on this”.

My thoughts on this? My thoughts on YOU thinking that I’m not worried about a million other f*cking things right now? My thoughts on hurting your wittle feelings because I didn’t have the decency to reply to the same email you’ve repeatedly sent to me? Dick!

How about the disingenuous, templated, “Wanted to reach out and see how your 2020 goals are coming along.”

Really? How do you think my goals for 2020 are coming along? And furthermore, why do I get the distinct feeling that you really don’t care and that you’ll cut the conversation short once you learn that I’m not in a position to buy from you right now?

Or how about the idiotic scarcity and scare tactics? Not a fan!

Then there’s the almost daily outreach from the same reps thinking that they can annoy me into submission.

Side note: You do understand that aside from being insensitive this makes you look desperate, right?

So here’s the rub . . .

Rethink the 5 components of your sales cadence.

Discuss the 5 components of everyone’s cadence with your sales team.

Dissect it daily to determine what’s working TODAY and what’s no longer working.

Note: If you’re having a daily meeting with your sales team, this is something that you need to discuss DAILY, because its changing daily!

Have the flexibility to modify it, and;

Please stop kidding yourself in thinking that your tried and true approach, pre-pandemic, is still relevant TODAY!

And if you haven’t done so already . . .
