Global Scenario On Sustainable and Resilient Coconut Industry by Dr. Jelfina...
Are you rightly leveraging your network and ecosystem
1. Immediate networks are undoubtedly one of the most critical assets for expanding a business
through references and credibility. Even sales experts are often seen leveraging his/her
network for sales growth. But can that be enough for continuous sales expansion? Possibly No.
Why so? Well, there would be a time when networks would get exhausted thus, making it
obvious to rely on unknown prospects.
After all, “It’s great to spend time at a networking event with someone you know and like. But
that’s not what you’re there for. Your goal is to expand your network by meeting new people.”
We all know that B2B sales need the right and proven strategy to ensure more closures while
enhancing the business avenues. At the same time, businesses need to do the needful to
generate maximum leads while nurturing feedback. For that, networking through immediate
references would not be enough. One should also improve and widen the reach-out metrics.
Often arrives the scenario where businesses are found struggling due to the absence of
structured modules to leverage their collective ecosystemfor growing business, resulting in lost
opportunities. Thus, springs up the question – ‘Once the network is exhausted how to get the
leads?’ Businesses do invest in cold-calling, popular email campaign tools and digital marketing,
but struggles with unsatisfactory results. Why? For that, one needs to solve these queries at
first -
Can One Increase Network through Cold Calling?
Now, this is perhaps one of the most conventional ways where businesses hire inside sales
executives, buy company databases, and eventually try to grow the network by ad-hoc cold
calling. However, research says that in today’s data-driven digital world, cold calling success
ratio is pathetic. Although there is a lot of effort, time and cost involved, the rate of conversion
is low and frustrating. Moreover, the task gets executed by less skilled resources and one can’t
expect the best-trained sales guys to have the first touchpoint with the customer through cold
calling. Isn’t it? So, what’s the outcome of mere cold calling?
● Network exhausts and is not leveraged at the corporate level.
● Cold meetings, quality of leads, and meetings are poor.
● Meetings and Accounts are not qualified and prioritized.
● End up meeting executives who don’t even need the service NOW
Can Email Campaign Tools & Digital Marketing Improve Networking?
To some extent, strategically implemented digital marketing modules might enhance brand
awareness and web presence, so does campaign tools. However, due to improper message
2. articulation, businesses struggle to connect with relevant prospects. This is not something that
sales and marketing teams would be aiming for. Isn’t it? So, it is of utmost importance to have
clarity on offerings, target market, prospective company’s budgetary aspects, challenges, and
immediate requirements. Why? Because, “You need to communicate to your prospects that I
understand the problem you are facing, I have a solution for it and I have provided that solution
to another company who is of your size, in your geography, in your domain and uses similar
technology. I understand you and have solved the problem in a similar ecosystem.” This would
help in building trust and confidence among your known/immediate prospects thus creating
possibilities of faster deal closures.
