@zefstories
THERE IS TOO MUCH NOISE IN THE MARKETS.
@zefstories
EVERYBODY IS WRITING, WHO IS READING?
@zefstories
COMPANY BLOG IS A GREAT TOOL TO EDUCATE
AND MOVE PROSPECTS FORWARD IN THEIR BUYERS JOURNEY.
@zefstories
HOW TO STAND OUT FROM THE MASS OF BLOG
ARTICLES?
@zefstories
”TELL ME AND I WILL FORGET TEACH ME AND I WILL REMEMBER INVOLVE ME AND I WILL LEARN”
@zefstories
INTEGRATED INTERACTIVE CONTENT IS POWERFUL SOLUTION
FOR ATTRACTING VISITORS AND GENERATING PROFILED LEADS
@zefstories
WHY INTERACTIVE CONTENT?
EASY TO DIGEST
EASY TO SHARE
COLLECTS VERY USEFUL DATA
HAS HIGH CONVERSION RATES
PEOPLE LOVE BEING INVOLVED PROFILED LEADS
NEW CONTENT TYPE
@zefstories
TODAY WE ARE GOING TO FOCUS ON PROFILING SQL:S
WITH PRE-MEETING SURVEY
@zefstories
WHY SHOULD WE USE PRE-MEETING SURVEY TO PROFILE
OUR PROSPECTS?
@zefstories
THE OLD SALES PROCESS:
@zefstories
SALES REP SETS UP A MEETING
@zefstories
THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION BEFORE THE MEETING
@zefstories
WE SPEND HUGE AMOUNT OF TIME MAPPING CUSTOMERS NEEDS
IN THE FIRST MEETING
WHAT DOES THE PROSPECT GETS FROM THIS?
PROSPECT GETS FROM THIS?
@zefstories
WE BOOK ANOTHER MEETING TO GO THROUGH THE SOLUTION
BASED ON CUSTOMERS NEEDS
@zefstories
USUALLY THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE ATTENDING THE 2ND
MEETING AND WE HAVE TO START FROM ALMOST THE
BEGINNING
@zefstories
DURING THE SECOND MEETING WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO CLOSE
THE DEAL BUT USUALLY IT TAKES AT LEAST ONE MORE
MEETING TO GET THE DEAL
@zefstories
WHAT’S THE CHANGE WITH A PROFILED
PROSPECT?
@zefstories
WE ASK OUR PROSPECTTO TELL US HOW DOES SHE WANT TO BUY FROM US
@zefstories
THEN WE AUTOMATICALLY EDUCATE HER BEFORE THE
MEETING.
@zefstories
BECAUSE WE KNOW OUR PROSPECT BETTER,WE ARE ABLE TO PREPARE THE PROPOSED SOLUTION BEFORE THE MEETING
@zefstories
BECAUSE OUR PROSPECT GETS OUR MATERIAL BEFORE THE
MEETING SHE WILL BEBETTER PREPARED
@zefstories
THE FIRST MEETING WILL NOT BE JUST MAPPING NEEDS, BUT DESIGNING THE SOLUTION
TOGETHER WITH THE PROSPECT
@zefstories
WHAT HAPPENED TO US WHEN WE STARTED TO USE PRE-
MEETING SURVEY?
@zefstories
OUR PROSPECTS STARTED TO THANK US ABOUT THE WAY
WE SELL
@zefstories
OUR HIT RATE INCREASED BY
110%
@zefstories
HOW DOES THE PROCESS GO?
