The Center for Sales Strategy Weekly Wrap-Up:
Below are some takeaways found within this week's blog posts:
Sales Hunters, Sales Farmers, and… Sales Trappers?:
Mike Anderson
"Trappers do it differently; they entice the prey—er, prospects—to come to them. They set out the honeypot that brings the bears, the cheese that attracts the mice, the information and advice that pulls prospects in and prompts them to make the first move toward doing business. In the epic battle between the Sales Hunters and the Sales Farmers, it just may be the Sales Trappers who win."
John Henley
"Think about how you want the person to introduce themselves to clients and prospects. You want a title that sounds like the person is working on the behalf of clients, not your organization. For example, instead of calling someone the Business Development Manager, consider calling him or her something like Client Solutions Manager. If good ideas don't come to you on the job title right away, complete the rest of this outline first and then come back and work on this."
