  The Days ofChasing Every Lead Are Gone Causes you to work harder for less. Calling a list of cold suspects or, pressing business advocates for referrals will never be enough to weather market changes. It is impossible; the odds of cultivating a “sufficient number” of “warm prospects” to recover lost revenues are simply against you. Longer sales cycle, price focused. You must continually prospect for new business and make it their priority. © 2010 Relational SalesPro, LLC

  Why Nurture ProspectRelationships? 80% of all sales close after 5-7 contacts Yet only 10% of all producers have an automated means to stay in contact with key prospects beyond the 7 th contact. With an automated marketing system 10% of all producers close 80% of all sales. Without the means to stay in touch, 90% of all producers are frantically scrambling to write their share of only 20% of the sales to be made . “ Unless you're just lucky, and you find that extraordinary salesperson with the ability to find opportunities everywhere and build their book, an agency needs something like this that's a system to keep you focused, directed and moving forward.” – Tom Kansas Client © 2010 Relational SalesPro, LLC

  Gaining Confidence Itis a proven fact that most people react negatively to high-pressure sales . Regardless of your product or service, people buy for emotional reasons, and they buy from people they like and trust. Your prospects must recognize your name and logo and equate it with your expressed desire to do business with them. Your prospect must have an opportunity to form an opinion of your honesty and reliability to gain confidence sufficient to rely on you. © 2010 Relational SalesPro, LLC

  Building Key Advocates Referrals have a 67% close ratio because trust is transferred from the referring party to you. “ WOW” your best clients. Identify your top 20 clients and implement a strategy to exceed their service and relational expectations. Advocates are those who sing your praise and become a valuable source of referrals . Ask your centers of influence for referrals The key is to develop “reciprocal” relationships with between 10 to 12 "core" influencers by taking them to lunch regularly, and send referrals their way. © 2010 Relational SalesPro, LLC

  Taking a RoadLess Traveled 80% of sales are made after the 7th contact. Without a centralized-prospecting method designed to communicate with prospect, clients and centers of influence through all the stages of relationship, building a winning pipeline could be impossible. Cultivating a warm pipeline of prospects is neither, a quick, or an easy task. When developing a pipeline from scratch, expect to see results between 6 th and 8 th month. Years 2 – 5 generate increased results. © 2010 Relational SalesPro, LLC Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common that unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent . -Calvin Coolidge
