REFERRALS ARE RETRO

Old school is not old-fashioned, and it’s not passe´. Technology is a great tool, but nothing beats a personal relationship. Sales reps struggle to get qualified leads in the pipe, get past gatekeepers, prove themselves to decision-makers, and warm up cold leads into hot prospects. It can take eight-to-fifteen touches to get even one meeting.

It’s time for reps to break out of their digital world and do what they were hired to do: sell. A referral sale is the #1 revenue driver and the most overlooked prospecting strategy. It ensures a one-call meeting and a conversion rate of  50%. Whether you make cold calls now or not, leverage the power of your referral network and hit your sales numbers without hitting the phones. It’s people, not technology, that seal the deal.
