This week represents mass scale openings of businesses across our great country. My job?        Put you in a position to pursue and land new business now. I'm doing this with my online training program  4 Steps to New Business Now . So as a fellow salesperson, here is why I’d commit to doing this: 

At $195, that’s $65 an hour with the nation’s top sales coach (there’s a one-hour coaching call 8 weeks after the session). Most charge $250/hour. Here are some other reasons to give yourself permission to do this. By attending this workshop you’ll be better able to:
  • distinguish yourself from other “vendors”
  • apply a targeting approach that yields a more “qualified” list 
  • analyze a prospect’s business to find the right entry point
  • adopt a warm doors approach to ensure no call is ever “cold”
  • segment prospects to ensure the right connection at the right time
  • leverage the best mode and timing for social media and email outreach
  • apply email scripts and elevator pitches proven to secure meetings
  • structure meetings that always lead to the next one. 

All you need to do?  Show up. Live. That's it.

4 Steps to New Business Now: Step 4 - ENGAGEMENT

6/15/2020

The fourth and final step to new business now is engagement. W​hether it's your initial outreach or your first meeting, all of your work in client type targeting, segmentation and messaging comes into play. You don't know everything about the prospect at this point but you know enough to form a hypothesis. This hypothesis drives your outreach and your ultimate connection. For actual appointments, remember it's your time too. You did your homework - now go have a great meeting:
Email - leverage the subject line and no more than 5 lines (think small smarphone!)
Text - only if given permission
LinkedIn InMail  - great option. Err on the side of deference and respect. Operate slowly.
Social media - it's a giving game so have something to share that triangulates back to your client type.
Phone: no one picks up the phone right? But they do listen to their messages. Use it as a strategic touch in setting your appointments. Here's more from Bill Walton on ENGAGEMENT:
If you have no other option than to bring in new business now, join us on June 25 or June 26​ for a virtual training class that will put you on the right path! Or, send Bill a note at bwalton@billwaltonsalestraining.com.

If you want new Business Now, your messaging must be client type focused and packed with credibility. Anything else is bug spray. Most prospecting messaging is self serving and unaligned with the center-of-plate issues of the prospect. So...turn that around - include why other clients make the conscious decision to work with you, the nature of the problems you're solving and the client type impact you're having. Anything else will be ignored! Here's Bill Walton sharing how to create your new business now messaging: 
If you're not supremely confident in your messaging, join us on June 25 or June 26 to learn how you can accelerate your new business Now! For more information, send Bill Walton an email directly at bwalton@billwaltonsalestraining.com.

4 Steps to New Business Now: Step 1 - Client Type Focus

6/9/2020

The 4 Steps to New Business Now is just that; it's about ​​​​NOW. To win business early and often, your approach needs to center on several distinct client types. Speed and success comes when EVERYTHING flows from a focus on a specific subindustry and the key stakeholders that drive those organizations.  Why this approach? Because buyers buy comfort – comfort that you empathize with their issues, comfort that you know their space, comfort that you’ve been there before. They also don’t want to waste time educating salespeople. So the client-type approach will help you be more comfortable leading with insights and ideas over product attributes; sharing best practices and observations over testimonials and pricing. Your prospects are asking for this.    Listen to Bill Walton to learn how to adopt your own Client-type Approach to New Business Now:

You don't want to miss this live training event. Here's why..
The #1 reason prospects site for taking a meeting with a salesperson: 
​ “I feel they know my business.”
In this training session you'll learn an approach that actual buyers recommend you take to engage them properly and efficiently. No fluff, no pitches, no salesy approaches - but good, business-based grounding for a discussion that you're prepared for. Spend 2 hours with me and you'll be able to: 
  • Immediately distinguish yourself from other “vendors”
  • Utilize a client-type targeting approach to create a “qualified” list 
  • Learn how to analyze a prospect’s business to find the right entry point
  • Adopt a warm doors approach to ensure no call is ever “cold”
  • Segment prospects to ensure the right connection at the right time
  • Learn the best mode and timing for social media and email outreach
  • Receive live email scripts and elevator pitches proven to secure meetings
  • Structure meetings that always lead to the next one. 
Why this and why now? TWO REASONS: You need results now and no one has time for trial and error and clients expect you to arrive already knowing how you can help. I pledge to help you deliver on both of these reasons. I am committed to your success. Sign up here.

​
I look forward to working with you!
