How to Effectively Manage the Sales Lead Follow-Up ProcessSalesScripter
Following up with sales prospects can be tricky. Sometimes you don’t follow up enough and might be missing out on the business. Other times you might follow up too much where the only thing you are doing is damaging the relationship and wasting valuable time.
If you can relate to that, you should join us for our next webinar “How to Effectively Manage the Sales Lead Follow-Up Process” where we will share a structured process that you can use that will provide clarity for how best to follow up on sales leads.
THE NEED FOR A SALES PROCESS
PROBLEM
The results of a recent study conducted by The Sales Board confirmed what we have known for some time. Prospects are speaking up about how they feel about salespeople who are less than professional. We thought that you would like to see these statistics as they reinforce the need for a sales process and challenge you to improve your qualifying efforts.
DIAGNOSIS
The study showed the following startling facts. Can you relate to them as a salesperson or as a buyer?
Fact: 82% of salespeople fail to differentiate
Result: They lose the business, fail to sell value
Fact: 86% of salespeople ask the wrong questions.
Result: They miss selling opportunities and end up wasting time while appearing unprofessional.
Fact: Only 18% of salespeople close without discounting price.
Result: Discounting becomes a habit and profit margins are eroded.
Fact: 95% of customers say salespeople talk too much.
Result: Customers are bored and feel salespeople don’t care about understanding their problems.
Fact: 62% of salespeople do not earn the right to ask questions.
Result: They fail to position the sale properly and don’t gain commitment.
Fact: 85% of salespeople use a selling process that is extremely ineffective, compared to the buyer’s system.
Result: They close less than 50% of the business that they should close, with disastrous effects on their companies’ sales and their personal incomes. You may be ‘winging it’ if you find yourself relating to any of the following: (a) chasing prospects who don’t return calls; (b) hearing ‘think it over’ all too often when you ask for the business; (c) cutting price in an effort to obtain or keep business; and (d) spending most of your time in front of people who are not decision makers.
SOLUTION
1. Stop assuming that your prospect needs what you’re selling.
2. Learn how to ask more questions to see if the prospect has any serious ‘pain’ issues that your product or service can resolve.
3. Learn a sales process to help you stay in control of the sales interview.
Here are 5 things to avoid when you are cold calling. By following these simple best practices you will be sure to improve your ability to cold call successfully.

At some stage in our lives many of us may have considered a particular profession, only to pull away in another direction due to lack of confidence. Whilst it’s vital to be realistic about our options and to understand what really suits our natural ability, personality and circumstances, it’s equally important that we don’t allow a lack of confidence to dictate our next move.
'Experience tells you what to do; confidence allows you to do it.’
When God called Gideon to sort out Israel’s problems this reluctant hero needed a big confidence boost. To encourage him, God told Gideon (Judges 7 9-10) to go down to the enemy’s camp at night and spy on his foe before attacking them. There’s something about learning about your enemy (or the person or organisation you’re targeting) in advance that gives you a cutting edges in the competition stakes. It certainly worked for Gideon!
