Here’s our rundown of the 8 phases that have proven to secure the best sales appointments for our clients:
Step 1 is all about precision. Here's the lowdown:
Example: Imagine you're a software company. Instead of broadly targeting all businesses, we conduct detailed research. We discover that tech startups and established enterprises respond differently. With buyer personas and industry segmentation, we tailor our approach, ensuring your message resonates with each group.
Top sellers spend an average of 6 hours researching their prospects weekly. Plus, need and budget are the two most significant factors in whether a prospect connects with a rep.
And our experts have the requisite expertise to help you build the ideal prospect lists.
Here's a snapshot of how we roll regarding prospect list building:
| Aspect | Strategy Applied |
| Data Accuracy & Currency | Regular audits to ensure lead data is current and accurate. |
| The Best List-Building Tools | Cutting-edge data enrichment tools implementation for comprehensive insights. |
| Targeted Lists Building | A systematic approach using criteria like industry, size, and behavior for precision. |
This process encapsulates our commitment to turning prospect data into a strategic asset. Consider your prospect list as a directory and a dynamic force driving your B2B success.
Our approach involves dissecting your business's value, distilling it, and weaving it into a narrative that speaks directly to your potential clients. Next, we strategically infuse your USPs (Unique Selling Points) into your messaging. This step sets you apart in the crowded B2B landscape.
Also, our communication identifies and addresses the pain points of your potential clients. As such, each message serves as a targeted solution – standing out in a market crowded with generic messages.
Example: Let's say you're in the cybersecurity sector. Instead of a mass message about robust security solutions, we craft a narrative that taps into the sleepless nights of business owners worrying about data breaches.
We use multiple platforms to reach your prospects:
With an average open rate of 21.5%, we attempt to send compelling narratives via cold emails. Our best email-writing practices ensure your message stands out in crowded inboxes, fostering intrigue from the first line. For instance:
Plus, stats reveal personalized email messages improve click-through rates by an average of 14% and conversions by 10%. Hence, we customize your emails to resonate with customers’ most significant requirements and challenges.
In a digital age, the phone remains a powerful ally. 92% of all customer interactions happen over the phone. We prepare appointment setting scripts and conversations that captivate, turning cold calls into warm connections.
Armed with scripts crafted for impact, we navigate the nuances of discussions. And when objections arise, our strategies address and overcome them.
While digital dominates, the tangible has its allure. Direct mail response rates are 5.3%, surpassing digital's 0.6%. We leverage the tactile experience, ensuring your message is seen and felt. For instance, our experts:
LinkedIn alone contributes to 80% of B2B leads from social media. Our strategists use LinkedIn lead gen marketing to build relationships, establish credibility, and secure appointments. Key steps include:
Our experts set clear criteria to identify high-potential prospects. We carefully evaluate several factors for lead qualification – to ensure our focus is on leads with a genuine interest and the capacity to move forward in the sales process. This approach ultimately leads to more fruitful appointments.
Our team uses three extremely effective lead qualification frameworks:
Rejection is not a roadblock but a stepping stone. We embrace rejection as part of the journey and equip our team with strategies to handle it gracefully.
According to a study, 80% of sales require five follow-up calls after the meeting, yet 44% of salespeople give up after the first follow-up. Therefore, we persist, understanding that initial rejection doesn't equate to a closed door.
Again, each rejection is a lesson. Our appointment setters dissect the reasons behind rejections, turning them into invaluable insights for improvement.
Example: If a prospect cites budget constraints, it becomes an opportunity to offer alternative pricing structures.
Our team identifies the optimal moment to convert an opportunity into a deal. Experts leverage sophisticated CRM tools like Hubspot and Salesforce to track and analyze prospect interactions, identifying key signals that signify readiness for purchase.
Before the handover, we document all essential information, from prospect preferences to concerns. It ensures a seamless transition for the impending collaboration with our Account Executives (AEs).
We coordinate schedules, set agendas, and ensure every meeting is valuable – moving the prospect closer to a decision. Simultaneously, we also handle ghosting instances. It addresses situations where prospects, initially engaged, become unresponsive.
Our proactive stance involves understanding the reasons behind potential disengagement. We equip our team to re-engage strategically, addressing concerns and maintaining momentum even in the face of temporary silence.
This approach ensures our appointment setting goals adapt to the ebb and flow of prospect engagement, fostering successful deal closures.
In navigating the nuances of the B2B appointment setting, each step we explored reflects the precision, resilience, and client-centric innovation ingrained in Revnew's approach. From identifying audiences to crafting compelling messages, we thrive in turning rejections into lessons and, eventually, success.
