It’s a new day. A new age. In life as we know it…and in sales. The sales cycle and the selling process have changed. What we have learned during covid, working from home and working remotely has changed the way the world works in many ways. And, it’s no different in sales. Are you ready for the new normal in sales?
It doesn’t have to be a bad thing or a scary time, just a new dawn. A new age with new ways to do things. Society’s ideals have begun to shift and change and they will continue to evolve as we progress in this new time.
What Are The New Thoughts On Selling?
The core fundamentals of sales prospecting will remain nearly the same. For example, doing your market research, reaching out to the audience that needs your product or service, building your network, and nurturing your leads will, of course, stay the same.
At the same time, you must shift to a more insightful approach, educating, teaching, and providing more resources to potential targeted customers now as it is necessary just to get an opportunity to engage with them at a deeper level.
How do you do this?
- Content – writing and creating content to reach out to your specific market is paramount. Who do you particularly want to work with or sell to? Who will benefit from your product or service? Your marketing materials need to be written to these folks especially. What ails your customer base and how will you solve it?
- Reaching People – again, this is a new time. A time when people now work in a variety of different locations and on a variety of different technologies. Will you find them via email or text or on a traditional call? Prospects often work in hybrid situations – ask yourself, how will you reach them?
- Engaging – people are in more places and connecting with them can happen in different ways and in different spaces. Some will respond to advertising, some to your blog content and website, others to your social media marketing, and still others in person. How will you find your perfect prospects and how will you grab their attention?
