- So what is SalesGen 2020? SalesGen 2020 is a proven process built on best practices from leading marketing and sales organizations that allows us to identify opportunities for increasing your sales by leveraging your current resources. This process has 6 key components – 6 areas where we focus our attention and expertise in order to improve yours sales and marketing performance.Let’s dive into each of them just a little bit so you can see exactly how you can benefit from this program.
- Your success is driven by sales and marketing – and Salesgen 2020 brings these teams together in ways that quickly improves performance.
- Salesgen2020 brings your sales and marketing team together – focused on ways to attract highly qualified buyers, increase conversion and retention rates. No more ‘us versus them’ mentality because Salesgen 2020 opens communication by involving sales and marketing in developing, evaluating and improving lead generation, nurturing and retention programs.
- When your marketing and sales team is focused on attracting and converting ‘qualified leads’, by improving marketing and sales performance, your organization enjoys greater overall success. Salesgen 2020 provides you with the process and framework necessary to build and maintain this team work for immediate and long-term success.
- For example, in a recent assignment, our work uncovered that the organization had no clear definition for what a ‘qualified sales ready lead’ really was. This was causing conflict between sales and marketing because both teams were chasing different goals.We brought the teams together, helped build a clear definition for a ‘sales ready lead’ and ‘qualified lead’, and watched conversion rates increase by more than 50%.Additionally, the lead management and nurturing process were streamlined which shorten the sales cycle by more than 20% and eliminated more than $150,000 in unnecessary sales and marketing expenses.Bottom line – fewer resources were needed, goals were exceeded and the company generated more than $1 million in incremental revenue.
- Your success comes from a clear, deep understanding of your target market and the segments within that market. This knowledge and insight improves your ability to reach the right buyer with the right offer through the right channel – and the lowers your costs while helping increase your conversion rates.
- To identify segments within your target market, Salesgen 2020 uses recency-frequency-monetary or RFM analysis and other modeling techniques to identify your ‘best customers’. Then demographics and psychographics are used to better understand your consumer segments, while firmographics(like employee size, revenue size, industry, number of locations and location of headquarters) are used for your business segments.
- Next, Salesgen 2020 talks with the people within those segments – through a variety of methods including in-depth interviews, and surveys – so you better understand specific needs, wants, perceptions, motivations, buying processes…we use this information to build buyer personas. These personas help sales quickly identify the buyer and use the most effective messages. For example, some buyers might be motivated by saving money while others are motivated by status. Personas help your sales team quickly identify the motivation and focus on the most appropriate features, benefits and offers.Personas also help marketing – specifically by constantly reminding them to test new media, messages and offers for each segment within the larger audience.
- With this insight, you are able to pinpoint the most effective media and create more compelling messages and offers. The end result – you attract more ‘highly qualified buyers’ through your lead generation activities.
- Your ability to close more sales is driven by your ability to get the right message and offer to the right person at the right time through the most effective media – and Salesgen 2020 provides you with a simple process for developing, testing, analyzing and constantly improving.
- Your customers are bombarded with communications through an ever increasing selection of media. You need to cut through the clutter, catch their attention with the most relevant messages and offers possible – or you risk losing them.
- The right offer to the right person is key – and best in class marketing and sales organizations significantly outperform other organizations in conversion and retention because they gather and analyze the right data in order to strengthen their offers – to make them more relevant and motivating.
- Salesgen 2020 provides you with a highly effective and proven process for developing, testing, analyzing and improving the performance of your media, messages and offers.
- Our team works with you on analyzing campaign performance to constantly improve media selection, messages and offers.
- These insights drive a process that continues to develop a stronger relationship with buyers so that you can motivate more first time buyers to become repeat buyers, and motivate repeat buyers to purchase a broader selection of your products and services.The goal is to lengthen the life of your relationship with the buyer AND increase the frequency and volume of purchases over that life time.
- All sales leads are not created equal. The SalesGen2020 program enables you to quickly and accurately identify qualified prospects with an immediate need for your product or service. It focuses your sales resources on the highest priority leads and increases their ability to close more sales.
- Salesgen 2020 creates a highly effective process for quickly, accurately scoring and prioritizing your leads –
- Gartner Group Research found that “following improvements in lead, content and proposal management, close rates could be expected to increase, on average, by approximately 5% to 20% per salesperson.”Imagine the impact on your bottom line – and imagine the impact on morale, employee retention and other critical factors that impact your business!
- Salesgen 2020 has helped clients increase conversion rates by 150% to 300%, shorten sales cycles by 50% or more.
- Your lead generation efforts are already attracting qualified buyers that have plans to buy in the future. You invested a lot to acquire these leads. Yet many of them end up buying from your competition. You know that your current processes are letting highly qualified buyers with plans to buy in the future slip away – and you can’t afford to let that happen.
- How does the performance of your lead nurturing program compare with others? Salesgen 2020 builds lead nurturing programs that engage the buyer, develop a strong relationship with the buyer, and position your business as the best solution for the buyer’s needs.
- Your program is carefully designed around the potential buyer’s wants, needs, expectations, perceptions and buying process. Messages and offers are selected based on these factors, and then scheduled through the most appropriate channels on a regular basis as well as in response to specific actions taken by the prospect – ensuring you are delivering the right message to the right prospect at the right time through the right media.
- Your long-term success comes from increasing retention rates, referrals and producing brand evangelists that help you attract new, profitable customers.
- Salesgen 2020 puts a program in place that provides constant feedback from customers that helps you improve current offerings and identify opportunities to develop new products and services.
- Salesgen 2020 analyzes all customer interactions and identifies opportunities to improve customer communications, products, and services. And, most important, it enables you to identify, respond to, and correct customer problems quickly.
- There is an old marketing saying – from the days before social media – that said ‘one happy customer will tell another person about their positive experience; one unhappy customer will 10 and that 10 will tell another 10….’Today, a blog post or a Tweet can tell millions of potential buyers about your business in a matter of seconds. SalesGen 2020 increases the number of happy, satisfied customers which builds stronger loyalty, higher retention and more vocal brand evangelists. And those happy, satisfied, loyal evangelists will be your best advocates in today’s world of social media – helping potential buyers learn about your business and motivating them to give your business a try…
