    Ditch ” Send Me Info” & Just BOOK THE MEETING

    Saturday, March 7th, 2020

    Hot Tips on How to Wrap it Up & Book
    The Meeting with Any Top Decision
    Maker

    Here it is March 2020 … going into the 2nd Quarter of the Game , 3 months
    into 2020

    Are you Deeply Satisfied and Content
    with the Sales Performance and Sales Revenues so far ?….

    As B2B marketers we know that we have to create a HUGE Sales Pipeline
    to sell into

    We know that we have to have Conversations with top decision makers in
    our most desired niches …

    And turn those Conversations into Booked Meetings

    We also know that that there are Multiple Touches On Multiple different
    Platforms
    we can use to Connect, have a Conversation and BOOK MEETINGS

    But… we also know that Cold Approach E-mail, Social and LinkedIn are
    GREAT Options to Connect –BUT
    , we need to get these People on the Phone for a conversations to Book High Level meetings

    Nothing is better than the PHONE … to book  meetings

    These are the Typical, Average Touches that Professional sales people do….
    New web site average output per day

    What I see and witness all the time is that sales People send out a Lot of Emails,
    Hoping for Blow ins . Sales people send out a lot of Linked in Connections
    Invites, Hoping for the target to accept

    However they struggle over the “Phone” with nailing down
    the “ 1st Meeting new Client Booked Introduction”

    When they finally connect with a prospect after they have done , 17
    touch points …and the Target finally says :
                                                            HELLO …

    The sales professional launches into their Opening statement and then the
    prospect says —

    We’re not interested”

    “We’re using ABC Company”

    “We have no needs”

    “ We do that in-House”

    Or the all-time Crowd favorite

     “Send me some Info”

     And then the sales professional crumbles like a ‘House of cards”

    You must learn this ….

    “ It’s socially acceptable for the
    Prospects not
    to tell you the truth

    So here’s the scenario, you have called your target 8 X , emailed him 2 X
    and on your 9th attempt , he picks up the phone and says “ Hello”

    You go through your Pitch , he seems interested and then says

                                                        “ SEND ME INFO “

    new web site get the meeting

                                               “Cut Them Off at the Pass”

    If you are getting send me information all the time and you are challenged
    with just –Booking the DEMO

    Try this tactic

    Squash the send me some information line

    • The idea is to grab the objection out of their brain before they say it

     This is called a Pre-frame. If you know what the person is going to say before
    they say it . And if it’s going to be negative, an objection or some push back.
    Rather than wait …and see if the prospect doesn’t give you an objection

    The idea us to block and counter punch known objections before
    they come up
    .

    When a prospect Objects or says “Send Me Info “and you now have to turn
    them around
    from a “Send me Info” to Book the Meeting

    That’s very manipulative.

    Or worse , it took you 7 calls, you sent 4 emails , you did 2 –
    3 X Linkedin invites . You finally get through and the target says

    “ Send me info

    Now you’re going to have to –Send Info and then do 17 Touches to connect
    with them again
    , that could take another 2 weeks . You got them on the
    phone

    .. Just Book the MEETING NOW with them

    Pre-Frame the Objection Up-front ;

    Anticipation and Preparation : is everything

    The prospect is going to say “ They are not Interested

    The prospect is going to say “ Send me Info

    Anticipate this

    Know this

    They are going to do this

    So Be Prepared and Anticipate this …!!

    Don’t send Info , it’s a waste of time and they are probably
    bull-shitting you — that they are interested in the first place. They
    are just being polite .

    Book the meeting,
    If they are interested they will take a 5 minute
    Discovery Call or a 10 minute Executive Web Briefing

    Non-committal and Avoidance , NEXT –> catch the next wave.

    If they won’t …let them go…

    Cut Them Off at the Pass  ( Pull the send me info line out of their brain
    before they say it ….)

    Cut off from history

    What this statement implies is : the Conditioned Mind-set of your target
    account will win them over 100% of the time

    Who-ever “ Owns the FRAME wins the Game”

    You’re 75% – 80% of the way through your Pitch and the
    Target is NOT INTERRUPTING YOU 

    This is Everything …

    You Don’t ask if they are interested or Isn’t this Great >>?

    You just keep moving forward and Flow right into this Phrase

    Say something like this …

    ” Typically at this point almost all of our clients –ask us to send something over
    to them by email – . And we most likely can and we will do that…

    But what we’ve heard so often from our clients telling us is that they need
    information that is tailor-made and specific to their exact circumstances,
    they just don’t want generic information sent to them, this is new to you and
    most likely you’ll have a few questions that need answers  )

    ….. I’m sure that’s the same for you

    Every time we send over generic information that’s not Tailor-made or
    SPECIFIC it kind of shoots us in the foot & doesn’t do anybody any good

    • We meet with our clients 2 different ways –We can have one of our
      subject matter experts pop by
      with some Pdf’s , Pricing and some samples show
      you these new innovative ways you can …that are reaching a tipping point
      right now

      — It would be a brief 10 minute exploratory meeting with no commitment or
      obligation at all

    —- It’s purely a learning, exploratory session

    • Should your schedule doesn’t permit we could schedule just
      a five-minute Discovery call with one of our subject matter
      expert’s over the phone
      in the next  week , how about Tuesday
      @ 10:30 or Wednesday @ 2:00 ?– All we’ll  need is maybe five minutes ?– They can have a quick
      conversation , find out specifically what you’re looking for & then
      send over the appropriate  tailor made information for
      you ….        
      (makes sense )

    Which would you prefer ?

    Another version

    Say something like this …

    ” Oh awesome, it seems like you’re kind of interested and Open to some new
    ideas or options in this area in the future….

    New web site back ground Tavarua

    “ Typically at this stage most clients want us to send them over some information
    at this point

     What we have found by our clients telling us is that , they get about 160 e-mails per day, they’re super busy at their E-mail in-box– and if we send over generic information that’s not tailor-made to their exact specific needs and circumstances , it’s going to bring up questions .. Those questions needs some answers and if we’re not there to answer them.. it kinda shoots us in the foot”

    I know you’re busy and respect your time. We’ve prepared a 10 minute
    Multi-media , really visual Executive Web Briefing
    ,

    it’s right over the Internet –that will quickly determine if our solution will be of value
    to you. I guarantee this will be time well spent

    – IT will present the key features, a tour of the Best Practices that other companies are implementing and a Visual on the ROI and the payback ….  –

    (See how you refresh all of the benefits they will get at the meeting, making this so enticing…)

    We would love to show you this to see you to see what resonates with you and get your professional opinion and insight on our value proposition

     How does your calendar look for this week or next?

    • I have a few time slots open this week on Thursday or alternatively we could do next Tuesday at 10:30 – which of those would fit better for you busy schedule?If you’re too busyand your schedule does not permit ..How about a 5 Minute Discovery call with one of our Experts , — They can have a quick conversation , find out specifically what you’re looking for & then send over the appropriate  tailor made information for you (makes sense– Now they are choosing between a 10 minute web demo or a 5 min
      discovery call – Not interested is not in the picture )

    ___________________

    “ I think it would be a good idea to go through a 10 minute executive web briefing,
    it will show you exactly how our solution will enable your company to ;

    Benefit 1

    — Benefit 2

    — Benefit 3

     Brag and Boast about known objections and concerns Up-Front

    If they are thinking about an objection the target cannot be relaxed or
    subjective about anything, you need to get them to shift their focus

    Cold Call Objection Handling Templates

    Saturday, July 21st, 2018

    new blog post heading

    New blog post heading 2

    Here is a great short objection handler to use when booking meetings & audits

    True story, Let’s call her Jane she is selling $100,000.00 – $500,000.00 LED Retrofits of huge warehouse’s and facilities. This business has a 30% net profit margin …so there is significant commission in this industry

    I witnessed Jane use this objection handler 3 X . She Booked the meeting right in front of me . Then met the client and earned over $ 450,000.00 in sales deal flow with prospects who said “ Were Not Interested “ initially

    Great objection handler for  “We’re not interested”

    That’s perfectly OK, and just know that I am not trying to sell anything today. Instead I just want to provide you with a proven resource you might be able to use down the road should you find you ever need :

    –An LED retrofit of your facility to save 80% off your monthly utility bills, give your warehouse 10 times better lighting and reduce the carbon footprint

    Or to compare quotes and services with a different “best practice” all in one LED provider

    I understand you’re not interested right now or working with someone else , BUT … I would still like to Meet you and introduce myself and drop off some information, brochures and pricing
    to you

    Hey …How does your calendar look for Friday @ ________ or Tuesday
    @ ______ ? 

    Click to hear Audio of Live call

    Business to business cold calling for appointments and meetings is brutally hard. We are doing interrupter marketing, calling people that are not expecting our calls and completely interrupting their train of thought, what they are doing , functions and tasks

    Your timing, the Value you deliver, your Research and your Name drops will immediately Blow away any push-back or objection”

    It really is a numbers game

    If you have a good researched list with 3 to 5 name drops and internal credible referrals, a good core message, and you’re confident and certain in your tonality and tempo —  you’ve got a 50% chance

    You have to be able to truly understand your prospect and target

    You have to understand the pain that they could be experiencing

    And truly believe that your solution consultant that pain

    And express that confidence and certainty in 20 to 42 seconds  on the phone

    But one thing for certain we as sales professionals have the upper hand because we can predict exactly what they’re going to say before they say it

    Conditioned response

     Just like a bug , a Mosquito lands on your arm … it would be totally reasonable to swat it off you

    mosquito-biting-hand-main

     

    This is what your prospect is doing …

    These happen generally in the first 10 to 20 seconds of the call. Pushback, we’re not interested, we’re fine with what we have, we’re working with so and so

    You have to understand that 100% of the prospects and targets couldn’t care less about the core message

    Prepare to be the best but expect the worst on every single call

    If you prepare to be the best and expect the worst… then you’ll be able to block and counter punch the conditioned responses within the first 20 to 40 seconds

    preparation

    Some of the tools we use to get “ICR’s” (  Internal Credible Referrals and name drops are
    https://hunter.io/search Email Hunter -the best free resource to get

    All of the email addresses and names of top decision makers in any company

    == https://connect.data.com/home –   This is a crowd sourced database with over 70 Million records . Its been sourced by 200,000 sales professionals and its FREE

    == https://www.linkedin.com  – Linkedin is a great source to get the names of people in their inner circle

    Why is this good ? And why the hassle of all this waste of time researching you’re thinking ?

    You can use their “Trigger Events ‘ that are going on in your – Opening statement – In an Email to them – In a Voice mail to them

    Example

    who you know

    I used to just call the lowest level person in the department I’m going after. And then I would just shoot the breeze with this person and go oh what’s the weather like over there, what city are you in ? cool ,never been there , here it’s beautiful, your part of the _____________team is that right ?

    Excellent and Jimmy Jones he would be the chief operating officer right, and he would take care of the reviewing and evaluation of their __________

    Then I would ask the Gent , if you could improve, change or alter anything with regards ___________, what would be on your Dream Wish List ?

    Oh hi Jim I was talking with Kathy and your name came up as the resident expert in authority I need to talk to you, did I catch you at a good time can you talk for a brief moment?”

    Oh hi Jim, Murray here I was doing some research on your School District and I was talking with Kathy which led me to a Bill and they both seem to agree that you were the resident expert I need to talk to, did I catch you at a good time can you talk for a bit moment? “

    oh hi Bill it’s Murray here , I have been bouncing around between a bunch of your peer group and colleagues over there I was trying to reach Kathy, and then that led me to Bill and then to James and I see you’re the director of Communications over there — would you be the right point of contact who would take care of Communications & Parent / Teacher communications

     Oh Hi Jim , I just got off the phone with James and we were talking about some of the Gaps he’s been experiencing with ____________ and he mentioned that you’d be the best point of contact regarding ____________ ,

    Do you have a focus or attention in this area ?”

    The Permission based referral Decision Maker method :

    permission based flow

    Here are some Conditioned Response templates to use in the 1st 20 – 40 seconds of any Push-back

    Preparation & Anticipating rejection…

    • Agree with him say whatever he said and feed it back to him.
      1. That’s totally cool
      2. That’s not a problem …
      3. Not a problem at all…
      4. You’re absolutely right

    I have had other people in the home building industry in Hamilton say the same thing — say this before. Probably 98% of our clients all had other systems/ crm solutions in place when we first me them

    • Group them together with others

    ”As I said, we’ve been servicing real estate home-builders and Agencies for over 17 years and have 400 clients in n America.. for nearly 17 years and have had 1,000’s of people say the same thing, that they were happy with their present setup, some had paper , pens and excel and that’s great

    …So I totally know where you’re coming from

    ‘ We’ve had 400 companies like yours put their reservations aside for 9 minutes and were totally blown away and have been clients for years’

    (You need to validate what they are saying so they feel that you are listening to them)

    “I totally understand –why would anyone consider this if there weren’t a rock solid viable alternative?

    ‘ the 5 other customers we have in your area , such as___________ and
    ________________ when we met them they were all using another solution.

    • Seduce and entice them with better results/benefits and ..

    Many other [industry] members are open to getting some new innovative ideas that would allow them to –Do More with Less and feel it’s important to stay ahead of the curve and keep their ear to the ground on new technology regarding CRM solutions and Automated email technology changes so fast ,,, if you’ve been using a crm for 3- 5 years now , there’s major breakthroughs in features and functionality that were not available at that time ,not even invented –such as

                 Distract & Refocus on New Possibilities.
    You made it very clear that you’re happy with your present set up and that’s cool …If down the line in the future …

    … If you found out from a fact or from someone you respected or admired and they said you could improve efficiencies and reduce costs… and monster benefit  1, 2 , 3

    • Might that change your opinion slightly?
    • I’m just wondering if you suspended your judgment or perspective for just a brief moment and found out for a fact that our “Solution” could compliment and augment what you’re doing/using a

    _________________________________________

    ...Today in 2016 it takes 9 attempts

    _____________________________________

    — It’s 300% harder to reach top level Decision Makers for a productive selling conversation

    ___________________________________________

    Average sales person makes 2 attempts to reach a prospect then gives up

    _______________________________________________

    Average sales person makes 8 dials per hour and prospects for 6.25 hours to set one appointment

    Average sales person spends 93 hours to 120 hours a month on the phone trying to get through to set up 12  appointments a month

    70% of all purchasers that switched to the new supplier said that 100% of them were initially satisfied and happy with their solution when they were approached ..before they switched

    “The Permission / Value Based 120 second Opening Statement”

    Monday, February 2nd, 2015

    click to hear audio

    I am a BIG believer in asking if its OK to talk with all Decision Makers . I personally feel that we as Outbound sales professionals we are interrupting the targets when we initially ‘Reach Out ‘

    I personally feel it’s respectful and courteous , if they’re busy .. I just say ..”  no problem at all , I’ll circle back later .. “

    Your Top Decision maker is always busy doing something else before you connect with them – They have a million things on their mind , they have no time , and many other options than to listen to you blather on and on about something that they could care about …

    This is a Great opening for 2 reasons

    A) It catches their attention and interest immediately

    B) Gauges their interest in your core message in less than 2 minutes — Gives you an instant ‘GREEN’ Light — Or if there’s ZERO interest .

    Now custom design this for your company ..!!
