Collecting Leads

Posted on by

Collecting Leads is one of the best way to be successful in Sales.  You don’t always sell your first initial stop with a new prospect.  You work them with a phone call, email and/or just dropping in on them.  The more times you touch a prospect the higher chance they will become a customer.  By using a couple tools…your CRM Software, your email collecting methods like Constant Contact and just your skills to communicate on the phone or in person.  I like i said before it does not happen over night…Hard work become a great salesman in the future.  Whatever you are selling you need to collect information about the prospect!!!!   I have done business with so many guys that switch construction companies that wherever they go I do business with them.  Collect the information and keep up with your prospects and customers at all times.

A Listening Salesman

When talking to prospects and customers…you need to shut up and listen.  One of the number one problems is salesman does not listen on appointments…they do all the talking.  You need to ask questions that prospects will do all the talking.   Sit there and don’t talk.  Here is a great video “what not to do”!!!!

Marketing like a Champion

Marketing like a Champion

Become a Marketing Selling Champion Salesman….by just doing the little things with mailers, emails, direct mail, and promotion gift (i.e. pens with your logo).  Some times you have to do the unexpected for your customers.  Like give them a credit on their bill for returning your equipment early off of rent.  That just an example that I would do.

Marketing is a Trial and Error Process…you need to try what works in your industry.  I do video marketing, blogging, social media, direct mail to contractors, email marketing to the list of 10000 companies, promotion items (hats and pens), and much more.  Make it fun and challenging…you will enjoy it.

Salesman should be a Self Motivator

Salesman should be a Self Motivator

What I mean by that is that you need to motivate yourself to do your job.  You will get No, No, No and more.  But a great salesman will knock it off their shoulders and move to the next Yes.  You need to keep motivating yourself to success.  Listen to great Audio Books and/or podcasts.  Don’t give up…keep pushing forward for a yes.  If you are not having luck on the phone today then go outside for a walk or go in the field to go Door Knocking.  Sales is fun and challenging…Enjoy!!!!

I use my Smart Phone everyday for the Apps to make me a more productive salesman. There are Application that you can scan a prospect business card and email you back to the office to store in your CRM Software. The Adobe Reader App, you can store important documents like Credit Application, Brochures and Specs of your products…email straight out of your smart phone when the customer ask at your appointment or on your way out of the appointment.

Selling out of the Box

Selling out of the Box

That is a phrase that I say…and I don’t mean a physical box.  I mean do something unusual for your prospects and customers.  Do something unexpected that no other salesman has done.  Give them a credit, a gift card and something rememberable  that stand you out from the rest.  Depending on what you sell….I helped ran an office supply company with a friend while selling cell phones, we use to give with all office supply orders a Rose to the office manager, majority were women.  They love it, and order more supplies.  We were one of the fastest independent office supply company that the supplier ever seen.  Remember do the unexpected…be Selling out of the Box.

Become an Email Marketing Salesman

I have use other email marketing programs and have not had success.  The one that I am using now is Constant Contact.  What I like about it…that it has the capabilities to share to all my Social Networks by the push of the button.  Plus it tracks the clicks in your email template.  If I was you I have them design your email template after your  website, so all the clicks in your email is track back track to your company website.  And what I mean by tracks, it comes with it own analytics.  To be successful with an email marketing plan you need to make it in engaging and inviting for the customers to contact you.  So try it out…you can’t lose.

 

Email Marketing a must for your business
