    Ditch ” Send Me Info” & Just BOOK THE MEETING

    Saturday, March 7th, 2020

    Hot Tips on How to Wrap it Up & Book
    The Meeting with Any Top Decision
    Maker

    Here it is March 2020 … going into the 2nd Quarter of the Game , 3 months
    into 2020

    Are you Deeply Satisfied and Content
    with the Sales Performance and Sales Revenues so far ?….

    As B2B marketers we know that we have to create a HUGE Sales Pipeline
    to sell into

    We know that we have to have Conversations with top decision makers in
    our most desired niches …

    And turn those Conversations into Booked Meetings

    We also know that that there are Multiple Touches On Multiple different
    Platforms
    we can use to Connect, have a Conversation and BOOK MEETINGS

    But… we also know that Cold Approach E-mail, Social and LinkedIn are
    GREAT Options to Connect –BUT
    , we need to get these People on the Phone for a conversations to Book High Level meetings

    Nothing is better than the PHONE … to book  meetings

    These are the Typical, Average Touches that Professional sales people do….
    New web site average output per day

    What I see and witness all the time is that sales People send out a Lot of Emails,
    Hoping for Blow ins . Sales people send out a lot of Linked in Connections
    Invites, Hoping for the target to accept

    However they struggle over the “Phone” with nailing down
    the “ 1st Meeting new Client Booked Introduction”

    When they finally connect with a prospect after they have done , 17
    touch points …and the Target finally says :
                                                            HELLO …

    The sales professional launches into their Opening statement and then the
    prospect says —

    We’re not interested”

    “We’re using ABC Company”

    “We have no needs”

    “ We do that in-House”

    Or the all-time Crowd favorite

     “Send me some Info”

     And then the sales professional crumbles like a ‘House of cards”

    You must learn this ….

    “ It’s socially acceptable for the
    Prospects not
    to tell you the truth

    So here’s the scenario, you have called your target 8 X , emailed him 2 X
    and on your 9th attempt , he picks up the phone and says “ Hello”

    You go through your Pitch , he seems interested and then says

                                                        “ SEND ME INFO “

    new web site get the meeting

                                               “Cut Them Off at the Pass”

    If you are getting send me information all the time and you are challenged
    with just –Booking the DEMO

    Try this tactic

    Squash the send me some information line

    • The idea is to grab the objection out of their brain before they say it

     This is called a Pre-frame. If you know what the person is going to say before
    they say it . And if it’s going to be negative, an objection or some push back.
    Rather than wait …and see if the prospect doesn’t give you an objection

    The idea us to block and counter punch known objections before
    they come up
    .

    When a prospect Objects or says “Send Me Info “and you now have to turn
    them around
    from a “Send me Info” to Book the Meeting

    That’s very manipulative.

    Or worse , it took you 7 calls, you sent 4 emails , you did 2 –
    3 X Linkedin invites . You finally get through and the target says

    “ Send me info

    Now you’re going to have to –Send Info and then do 17 Touches to connect
    with them again
    , that could take another 2 weeks . You got them on the
    phone

    .. Just Book the MEETING NOW with them

    Pre-Frame the Objection Up-front ;

    Anticipation and Preparation : is everything

    The prospect is going to say “ They are not Interested

    The prospect is going to say “ Send me Info

    Anticipate this

    Know this

    They are going to do this

    So Be Prepared and Anticipate this …!!

    Don’t send Info , it’s a waste of time and they are probably
    bull-shitting you — that they are interested in the first place. They
    are just being polite .

    Book the meeting,
    If they are interested they will take a 5 minute
    Discovery Call or a 10 minute Executive Web Briefing

    Non-committal and Avoidance , NEXT –> catch the next wave.

    If they won’t …let them go…

    Cut Them Off at the Pass  ( Pull the send me info line out of their brain
    before they say it ….)

    Cut off from history

    What this statement implies is : the Conditioned Mind-set of your target
    account will win them over 100% of the time

    Who-ever “ Owns the FRAME wins the Game”

    You’re 75% – 80% of the way through your Pitch and the
    Target is NOT INTERRUPTING YOU 

    This is Everything …

    You Don’t ask if they are interested or Isn’t this Great >>?

    You just keep moving forward and Flow right into this Phrase

    Say something like this …

    ” Typically at this point almost all of our clients –ask us to send something over
    to them by email – . And we most likely can and we will do that…

    But what we’ve heard so often from our clients telling us is that they need
    information that is tailor-made and specific to their exact circumstances,
    they just don’t want generic information sent to them, this is new to you and
    most likely you’ll have a few questions that need answers  )

    ….. I’m sure that’s the same for you

    Every time we send over generic information that’s not Tailor-made or
    SPECIFIC it kind of shoots us in the foot & doesn’t do anybody any good

    • We meet with our clients 2 different ways –We can have one of our
      subject matter experts pop by
      with some Pdf’s , Pricing and some samples show
      you these new innovative ways you can …that are reaching a tipping point
      right now

      — It would be a brief 10 minute exploratory meeting with no commitment or
      obligation at all

    —- It’s purely a learning, exploratory session

    • Should your schedule doesn’t permit we could schedule just
      a five-minute Discovery call with one of our subject matter
      expert’s over the phone
      in the next  week , how about Tuesday
      @ 10:30 or Wednesday @ 2:00 ?– All we’ll  need is maybe five minutes ?– They can have a quick
      conversation , find out specifically what you’re looking for & then
      send over the appropriate  tailor made information for
      you ….        
      (makes sense )

    Which would you prefer ?

    Another version

    Say something like this …

    ” Oh awesome, it seems like you’re kind of interested and Open to some new
    ideas or options in this area in the future….

    New web site back ground Tavarua

    “ Typically at this stage most clients want us to send them over some information
    at this point

     What we have found by our clients telling us is that , they get about 160 e-mails per day, they’re super busy at their E-mail in-box– and if we send over generic information that’s not tailor-made to their exact specific needs and circumstances , it’s going to bring up questions .. Those questions needs some answers and if we’re not there to answer them.. it kinda shoots us in the foot”

    I know you’re busy and respect your time. We’ve prepared a 10 minute
    Multi-media , really visual Executive Web Briefing
    ,

    it’s right over the Internet –that will quickly determine if our solution will be of value
    to you. I guarantee this will be time well spent

    – IT will present the key features, a tour of the Best Practices that other companies are implementing and a Visual on the ROI and the payback ….  –

    (See how you refresh all of the benefits they will get at the meeting, making this so enticing…)

    We would love to show you this to see you to see what resonates with you and get your professional opinion and insight on our value proposition

     How does your calendar look for this week or next?

    • I have a few time slots open this week on Thursday or alternatively we could do next Tuesday at 10:30 – which of those would fit better for you busy schedule?If you’re too busyand your schedule does not permit ..How about a 5 Minute Discovery call with one of our Experts , — They can have a quick conversation , find out specifically what you’re looking for & then send over the appropriate  tailor made information for you (makes sense– Now they are choosing between a 10 minute web demo or a 5 min
      discovery call – Not interested is not in the picture )

    ___________________

    “ I think it would be a good idea to go through a 10 minute executive web briefing,
    it will show you exactly how our solution will enable your company to ;

    Benefit 1

    — Benefit 2

    — Benefit 3

     Brag and Boast about known objections and concerns Up-Front

    If they are thinking about an objection the target cannot be relaxed or
    subjective about anything, you need to get them to shift their focus

    Here’s the “Garden Path” Process :

    1. Agree with them–Not a problem at all, I totally understand

    2. Say , would you mind if I ask How long have you been with
      them ?

      You want to hear …years , over 12 months ..the better

    3. Then say , “Were you involved with the decision to get this provider back then ?”

      YES — Awesome ?

      If No – Then say , Do you think the Executive team team at that time ….  did any research, comparing or shopping around with other providers to find this excellent provider ?

    4. Hey well , at that time when you got them did you do any research, comparing or shopping around with other providers to find this excellent provider ?

    5. Great , so you subscribe to the idea that it makes good business sense to shop around and review.. cool

      ..And you’ve been with them a long time , I’m sure they’re serving you well. You did great research back then…( in the day )

    6. So I’m sure you feel researching and comparing other products , other vendors a good thing from time to time ,  just to keep them on their toes …

    7. You know obviously I called you out of the blue ….

      We’ve been talking for a while now and it’s sounding like there could be some synergy or good reason to continue the conversation …
      — There’s  new features & functionality that have been just released that weren’t even invented ..when you got your solution-everything is so much better , faster,  cheaper & more reliable now .. The Costs have decreased significantly – They work a lot better

      We would love the opportunity to throw out hat into the Ring , and show you what we’ve created for your peer group , just to get your opinion and feedback on this

    8. If your flexible lets move this to a calendar Invite , lets schedule a quick 10 minute executive web briefing where I can show you all of this in multi media …not just on the phone, with a subject matter expert …ask questions, purely exploratory , no commitment or obligation…

    Specialist Sales Model VS a Generalist Sales Model , what’s better ?

    Sunday, September 4th, 2016

     

    specialist 1

    90% of all sales people hate cold calling for new business , the other 10% are lying”
    ____________________________
    The best way to have ZERO Sales productivity for your sales team, is to have your quota carrying sales people do ‘Everything’

    __________________________________________________

    So let’s look at some of the B2B Sales facts here :

    ________________________

    It’s takes 9 – 15 attempts to have a meaningful sales conversation with a decision maker on the phone — 85% of the time it goes to voice mail or in a meeting

    ___________________________

    Sales people that have to do “everything” have to

    _____________________________

    Self Generate Leads , Call In-Bound leads , make Outbound Calls, Hunt and Look for the right decision maker …and Book Meetings

    ____________________________

    Sales People have to research all the accounts before they approach them ; get all of the right names , get their ph #’s , get their email address , find out something about their initiatives or objectives going on in their world — Trigger Events

    ________________________________
    This takes 50% of their selling time per month to do this

    __________________________________________________

    — After they have wasted 50% of the month researching new accounts to sell into –Now they proceed to the next stage which is wasting 35% of the rest of the selling time per month sending Out Cold E-mails and Cold Calling new prospects to Book Meetings and Demos
    ________________________________

    researching 1

     ___________________________

    So now we are down to about 15% actual selling time per month with actual prospects, after all of the Hunting, Looking and Researching ….

    __________________________

    80% – 85% of their selling time is wasted doing this every month …
    __________________________________

    Are you deeply satisfied and content with that ?
    ___________________________

    AND the sales statistics that is the most alarming –Sales people spend 50% of their closing time on  prospects that DON’t Convert as with the new accounts that do ….

    ____________________________________________________

    So what this means is — Only 7.5% – 15% of your sales person’s sales time is with prospects that Convert to new customers per month 

    ______________________________________________

    An Idea that is growing 15X faster than a traditional Sales model is the ‘Specialist Sales Model “ Break apart your Sales Roles , hire Outbound New Business Developers who generate qualified leads and Open new accounts and set up
    meetings , Appointments and Demos with High Value accounts

    _______________________________

    –They Pre-Qualify the accounts and Hand the Baton to your account manager.
    _______________________________

    –> Giving your sales people 300% more meetings and Appointments with accounts you’d Dream about ‘Getting In Front of “

    ________________________________________________________

    –> Gaining 300% more ‘Shots on Net or ‘At Bats’

    ___________________________________________________

     

    aaron ross pic 5

    ___________________________________

    Wouldn’t it be much more Productive if you had an Outbound Lead Generation person that did all of this time consuming, non-selling work ..and your Account Managers had 200% – 300% MORE Selling time and Face time ?

    __________________________________________________

                                  “Divide the Labor “

    ______________________________________________

    aaron ross chart 2 pic

    _________________________________________________________

    So now imagine… you had a Top Flight Outbound Sales Developer to take care of the “ground game‘ back end work and get you ‘In the Door” 300% faster.

    How to gain a 300% Increase in Sales Pipeline & New Sales Opportunities in less than 59 days

    Sunday, April 17th, 2016

    separate

    Are you finalizing your Sales Teams goals for
    Q – 2 of 2016 ?

    _________

     As our prospects and customers turn their attention to the New year …

    We’ve been hearing a lot of common Objectives  :

    — Shorten Sales cycles

    — Increase Revenues

    — Land New Accounts fast

    — Schedule More Meetings and Demo’s with top decision makers

    time 1

     

    What’s the value of one hour of selling time

    From the Wolf of Wall Street to Boiler room to Glengarry Glen Ross and or the Pursuit of happiness  outbound marketing and Cold Calling has been getting a bad rap….

    Pity the cold call

    39% of marketers identified Outbound as the most effective B2B marketing method more than inbound 27% and Event marketing 17%
    and Social media 5%

     

    B2B inbound is the Cinderella story being talked about everywhere

    HubSpot, Marketo, infusion soft, Salesforce.com talk a great game on the power of inbound

    Just create some content , pay for some ads , get traffic –make money .

    Content marketing and pay per click drive traffic to your website by phone by subscriber, by opt in which generates incredible leads

    And we are to believe that the quality of the leads is all worth it.

    Even though you have to pay for the leads, pay the wages and the manpower for the people to gather the leads, to follow-up , present , demo , answer questions  staffing etc.

    Inbound is Not the Holy Grail Though ….

    B2B Inbound marketing is flooded with problems :

    1 ) 72% of inbound leads are from prospects who have 4 to 7 vendors shortlisted and their shopping around , comparing Prices

    2 ) Over 60% of inbound leads are not the decision-maker nor the champion or influencer it’s typically a guy named Seymour some dude who wants to see more prices and more quotes

    – You end up not having the decision-maker tree going into the company ( Referrals , name drops and nudges )

    it’s very competitive the buyers are too will educated on Google researching and doing du- diligence

    3)  There is a total lack of control– You can’t scale your business on Inbound , it’s not reliable , predictable –consistent

    You completely Lack control of your sales pipeline that you’re developing, you’re completely relying on passive inbound people calling you

    As opposed to a outbound researched, 3 referral equipped sniper target approach, decision maker Ph # , E-mail , 3 colleagues Social intelligence, Trigger events etc…

     In -Bound relies a lot on Hope…

    ….  Hoping that the right target market and the right size a company and the right decision maker with the right annual sales and the right pain and problems, has budget and wants to buy now –and calls you

    – that’s like hoping you go to the nightclub or bar  in your city and the most beautiful girl ever in a Tesla comes up to you and ask you to go away to the Hamptons with her

    hope

    By Not integrating Outbound into your company’s overall marketing mix you are leaving $ Millions on the table, and growing your Business 200% – 300% Slower….

    There’s 4 to 8 vertical markets that you’ve done business with and you’re doing great in, I would imagine right ?

    I’m sure you’ve got some referenced accounts, testimonials and some Marquis accounts that you could use to broadcast your success with other similar companies / people

    Getting a killer free list of similar researched accounts and calling all of them up with 2 or 3 case studiers is amazing …, with 2 PDF’s to explain and a Web Demo –you are ready to Rocket

    “  hey we just finished working with the company similar to yours they were sort of struggling with problem 1234 and we developed this tool to allow them to benefit 4567

     ________

    …. and “ I don’t know if there would be a good fit or a match, I’m not sure — BUT ….  I was wondering if you might be open to some new ideas or options in this area that could deliver this?

     _____________

    We would love to show this to you..just to get your opinion to see what resonates with you …

    __________________________________________________

    Have the outbound sales developer make 1500 attempted calls a month, get into 220 meaningful sales conversations with the right decision maker and book 30 to 50 meetings Discovery calls , demos or presentations for your account executives

    POOF… 

    “ Pipeline Cures ALL Ills “

    And lastly engage in one call close executive web Briefings to gain commitment on the initial call –19%  to 35% of the time

    Shameless plug

    That’s what we do and have done for 20 years, with 400 companies in over 49 industry sectors, of which 214 have been technology based companies, 21% of the fastest-growing high-tech companies in Vancouver

    We help companies build and design their outbound sales development teams and deliver top-flight expert people, outbound Cold Calling 2.0 talk tracks / Scripts, Social Intelligence Research hacks , live cold calling training and coaching featuring Murray’s exclusive Live speakerphone training- customized sales playbook, live calls, MP3 files, video how to’s—and a complete Defined Sales Process for your business model..to Triple the Leads coming into your Business   Increase your Deal size and Sales Revenues in record time..

    Leading companies balance inbound and outbound

    They know that inbound just pays the rent, if you want to scale of business you can’t rely on inbound leads

    70 - 30

    30% of prospects are Looking for new Options

     

    _______

    70% are not Looking but ‘Open ‘to new ideas and options — This is where ALL the action is 

    With outbound you’re reaching out to a high likelihood and high incidence of similar companies having the same pains and problems as the other exact similar companies you’ve worked with ,

    You’re catching them un-aware and planting seeds of doubt into what they’re doing right now because we know of every problem and challenge they’re having and the consequences of it

    —  as a result you can build rapport and bond with people away faster when they know that you know what their deep psychic wound is

    Creating case studies and stories about problems you solved for other companies that were struggling and grappling with the same challenges

    • Reference accounts, Name Drops similar in their industry
    • Solving the same problems they’re having …
    • The Monster Benefits and Gains they’re getting

     

    Then create a vision of what life could be like, Sell the Dream and then take them to the Promised Land

    A good business developer can do this 9 to 17 times a day five days a week it’s explosive the amount of activity that this can generate and it’s everything that you can control

    Exact niche and vertical that has the problems and would have a huge advantage with the core message you deliver.

    – size of company

    – number of locations

    social influence referral tree of names , Ph # ‘s and Emails into the company

    “25% of B2B decision-makers are actively or passively looking to switch vendors, yet those that do switch to a competitive offering 70% say they were satisfied with their former provider, productbut switched anyway”

    How to get a 300% increase in sales performance productivity land 300% bigger sized accounts with a 300% bigger sales pipeline for your team to sell into

    The Specialist ‘Hunter’ sales model

     Companies report that 70% of the sales person’s time is made up of no selling activities, researching accounts before they call them, data entry spreadsheets busywork preparation CRM tasks
