- 2 of the great legends in our industry
- Days – Blitz days versus training Times – strategically place your coaching, 1x1’s, team events, etc. Response time - Call hot leads immediately. Respond within 5 minutes. Measure it in minutes and seconds, not days and hours. Persistence - contact 6-12 times. Don’t dump your money and time down the drain by only calling a few times. Call at different times of the day, and within days instead of weeks.

Call at different times of the day, and within days instead of weeks.
- PRODUCT How it works – Go as deep as the role – I look at it as the difference between water skiing, scuba diving, and snorkeling. If you go too deep reps can get lost in it. If you don’t go deep enough then they will just skim over the important parts and will not have a good enough understanding to handle any curve balls. Giving the right level of understanding on how it works will allow a rep to have enough confidence to answer and navigate the prospect’s initial questions. Believing in the product will help reps believe in themselves. How each feature is beneficial to users – understanding the pros and cons of each feature will allow reps to quickly identify how to guide the conversation towards your strengths. Playing towards strengths will give reps reassurance in the product and in themselves. Use the product daily – Creating habits of using the product will allow the reps to create the best workflow processes. Sales Skills Have a road map to reference – Have a destination. Beginning with the end(s) in mind will help reps know where to take the conversation. After understanding the products this skill will help reps choose which products and features will benefit the prospects the most. Use pitches, talking points, stats, and proof stories – At InsideSales.com we use first call sequence. Each rep uses a coach to help them create a custom pitch including and intro, trust ladder, cool feature/benefit, and proof story. Reps do not red this but they do use it as a guide if they get off track. Train on best practices, talking points, stats and proof stories. This will empower reps to show in real examples how the products benefit real people. Role play everyday – Sharpen the saw. Have different situations like objections, etc. and have reps role play with each other, coaches, and managers. This will help reps be versatile and ready for different circumstances. Reps should be good enough to explain/pitch it to anyone from their grandma to the President of a company. - and the pitch better be different for both. CAREER PATHING Clear expectations to advancements – Reps will always stay more motivated when they know they are working towards a career goal. It makes every dial worth more. It helps them see the forest and not get stuck in the trees. Identify strengths – If you are a right handed batter, don’t swing left handed. Help reps to identify strengths and play to those strengths. This will help reps to develop your company with new innovative ideas and feel like they are contributing to something bigger. When reps realize that they are a part of the company growth and vision they become more invested in doing the little tasks like dialing. Assess goals and progress monthly if not more – Refresh often – We have found internally that our reps need to refresh about every 6 weeks. Making sure reps needs are met in these three areas will give reps consistent reinforcement and sense of priority and importance.
