There are four keys to this process:
1. Understanding and acquiring information on the customer’s business, their markets, competitors, and the people we will be speaking to (are they a CEO, a CFO, or Controller?).
2. Communicate value and a reason you’re calling with the prospect so a true dialogue can take place; versus a pitch done over the phone.
3. Develop a well-understood process of the call so a clear action for the next step can be taken.
4. Proper use of the CRM is of critical importance
Two universal truths in sales are:
1. People love to buy, but they hate to be sold.
2. People buy for their reasons (outcomes), not your reasons (what your features/benefits are).
Strategic Outbound Communications, therefore, creates an environment where people want to discover, learn and consequently, BUY! We ARE NOT selling them over the phone - that is why our methodology works!
