Pick Up the Damn Phone!: Why Technology Won’t Seal the Deal
Are your LinkedIn invitations getting lost in the cloud? Are you spinning your wheels tweeting to your sales leads and getting nothing out of it? If your prospecting efforts fall on deaf ears, perhaps it’s time to rethink how your account based selling teams use lead generation tools.
Sales success isn’t about how many emails you can fire off in a day or how many friend requests you send to decision-makers. It’s about real relationships with real people.
One reason account based sales reps appear overly busy yet underproductive is they’ve forgotten that people—not technology—close deals. So, they rely on B2B marketing teams for sales lead generation and status updates to reel in buyers.
Your account based selling team will get far better results by unplugging from Facebook and Twitter, and simply picking up the damn phone to make the connections that count!
Your Sales Leads Are People
In the age of digital dependence, many account based sales reps have relinquished their sales duties to the impersonal internet. They forget that technology is only a tool and that people buy from people.
How many unopened emails do you delete every day? How many sales pitch messages do you ignore on LinkedIn? The buyers you want to do business with are just as busy and cautious as you are. They don’t need another impersonal sales pitch. They don’t read your status updates. And they don’t need to hear better cold calling scripts.
But they will respond to a genuine phone conversation with someone who’s been referred.
