How to qualify a lead?
Good old fashioned phone call
The human voice can do miraculous
things…
Take a look at the movie “Her”
- Syed Asad
Qualification
• BANT (budget, authority, need and
timing)
• Decision maker/s
• Decision making process
• Does She/he fit your customer profile
• Is She/he in talks with competitors
Be Lenient on BANT*
*Tweak the questions based on the prospect’s enquiry
If you’re going to call leads, do your
research so you know who you are
calling, what they are looking for and
how you can help.
Sales & Marketing
It’s not ABC, it’s ABQ - Always Be
Qualifying*
*Don’t over qualify - an overqualified lead might not be an opportunity at all.
Outbound
Send.Qualify.Close.Repeat.
Let’s try again – Exercise time
Divide yourselves in the pairs of 2
Objections
Prospect’s objections are roadblocks,
not dead ends...
Everyone loses deals, it’s what you learn
from it that counts.
Occupational Hazard
Question time?
What is a CRM?
CRM
How you gather, manage and use
information will determine whether you
win or lose.
- Bill Gates
Follow up like a CHAMP!
Never.Ever.Stop!
*Almost 50% sales reps never follow up with a prospect
It is not your prospect’s job to remember
you. It is your obligation and
responsibility to make sure they don’t
have a chance to forget you.
- Patricia Fripp

I once followed up 21 times with a lead over

Editor's Notes

  • #2 . My Background. . UsabilityTools, what we are doing?
  • #17 If you're in a new market, people are by definition not actively seeking your product (there is no demand). Therefore, it is you who has to find them. I've had many appreciative 'thank you's from people, just for making them aware that something like what we're offering even exists :)
  • #18 Classic Answer! Are you gonna make notes? If the answer is yes, then you’ll need this pen.
  • #37 Every day I hear about failed launches or sales droughts and I want to help. But, most often, these “failures” are the result of lax lead generation and capture. The biggest misstep I see in microbusiness is making email list-building a secondary priority. There is nothing more crucial to the success of your business than a list of engaged, qualified, and interested prospects.
  • #39 Take my example
