Sales Prospecting for Business Professionals
It doesn’t matter how good your sales skills are if you don’t have people to sell to.
Prospecting is going and GETTING new customers.
· It is NOT waiting for them to ‘show up.’
3 Key Principles:
1. You must have a system.
2. You must ‘block time’ to do it.
3. You must be talking to the right people.
The Prospecting System:
1. Block time for it. (Daily or weekly)
a. Make it a habit.
2. Have a good CRM and know how to use it.
a. Most professionals treat their CRM as a ‘garbage can’ rather than a ‘gold mine’.
3. Eliminate all distractions.
a. Put the phone in the drawer, a ‘do not disturb’ sign on the door, do not check email.
b. Use single minded focus and get ON it.
4. 3 parts to the ‘Prospecting Block’:
a. The set up – who are the highest probability prospects?
b. The prospecting – The Golden Hour – Single-minded focus.
c. The follow up – emails, notes, etc.
5. Update the CRM – prepare the gold mine for the next excavation.
Summary:
Prospecting is the most powerful and predictable of all sales functions. It is you and your company going and GETTING customers.
· Make sure they are the right ones.
· Block time for it daily or weekly.
· Use an effective system including CRM and follow up.
