What’s Happening:<\/strong> the Covid-19 Pandemic has fundamentally changed the world of sales prospecting \u2014 likely forever.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Between The Lines:<\/strong> The future of work AND life is increasingly location agnostic. Gone are the days when people, including sales prospects, feel the need for face-to-face engagement to do their job effectively. These Location Agnostics<\/em> are trading the avariciousness of face-to-face sales meetings for the providence of digital interactions. And in doing so, they free themselves from the shackles of “place.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reality Check:<\/strong> The days of buying a sales prospects\u2019 attention or ongoing access with dinner or drinks are essentially over. Today’s successful salesperson must be adept at digital relationship building and sales nurturing.<\/p>\n

Why It’s Important:<\/strong> Digital channels offer sales prospects unprecedented tools to block salespeople. And by ‘block,\u2019 I mean render them digitally invisible forever. For this reason, salespeople must learn good social selling manners.<\/p>\n

But First Things First\u2026 <\/strong>The upside to this movement towards a more digitized world is knowledge. Today it’s unacceptable to meet a stranger. Successful salespeople will conduct Social Reconnaissance<\/a> to develop detailed prospect dossiers full of Conversation Catalysts<\/a>. Then, armed with this knowledge and trained in the social graces, they’ll slip on down to the social platform of choice to make friends in high and low places.<\/p>\n

What You Need To Do Next<\/strong> is Realize the days of “sales is a numbers game” are over. You need to immediately begin retraining your sales teams to prospect, nurture, and even close in a wholly digital environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Bottom Line<\/strong> is Social Selling, Remote Selling, Virtual Selling<\/a>, or whatever the name dejour is this week, is here to stay. Buyers have figured out that it’s a more convenient, efficient and possibly enjoyable way to evaluate and purchase products and services. Leaving you with one choice: keep limping along hoping things will go back to normal OR invest in the necessary sales training<\/a> your team needs to successfully compete in today’s new digital first world.\u00a0<\/p>\n
