Top Sales Reps Embrace the CRM System

They understand that the system makes sense compared to home grown ways to enhance their specialty for closing opportunities and strengthening relationships.

  • Spending fewer cycles to reach the same result leaves more time to overachieve
  • Efficiently reach a large number of segmented contacts
  • Eliminate compensation disputes
  • Save time by emailing links that answer manager questions
  • Save time by presenting ready-made reports during territory reviews
  • Power users influence team members to understand that 100% compliance is a condition of employment

"I'm 63 years old 
but that's just 17 Celsius"
George Carlin - 2001
 

Remember the Celsiius to Fahrenheit conversion formula?

C = (5/9)*(F-32)
 
Determine your real age, "C", by substituting your chronological age for "F".
 
It produces interesting results for Gen Y's [18-31], Gen X's [32-42] and Baby boomers [43-61]
Create a Portfolio of Stories

Develop a list of tough questions you've received during problem solving situations that motivated a customer to seek a solution.

 

Now, compile a list of customers who presented similar challenges, overcame them through your solution, and are happy they did.

 

Then, match this to your list of objections and create a variety of stories about a customer challenge, your solution and results that enable selection of the most powerful story for a given situation.

Storyselling:
A Proven Way for Prospects to Believe That Your Product is a Great Fit

What's Your Story?

 

What Makes a Good Story?

 

Authentic stories that are personal and relevant create forward movement from a current situation through one specific lesson for a target audience. They enable people to visualize their own situation, which helps them understand, believe and remember the message.  This energizes emotion to drive next steps.
