What this means is that your prospect has determined that your voice mail message carries no value to them. There is no overt benefit or solid reason that motivates a return telephone call. To receive an immediate callback from your sales prospect you need to create enough interest and you do so through answering the one question in every prospect’s mind which is: “What’s in it for me?”

Sound of Your Voice

In 1967, communication researcher Albert Mehrabian, found that 93% of our communication is non-verbal (body language and the tone of your voice) and only 7% of our communication is verbal (the actual spoken word). What does this mean when you’re leaving messages for your sales prospects? This means that you need to consciously place more emphasis on how you sound over the telephone.

Length of Your Voice Mail Message

Remember that your message is just one of many “other” messages. Any voice mail message greater than 30 seconds puts you at risk of message deletion. In this case, less really means more so make sure that your messages are short and to the point.

Misplaced Your Phone Number or Incorrectly Wrote It Down Wrong

As a result of not expecting your cold call, your prospect may just write down your information on a piece of paper for a future callback. In time, the paper they detailed your information on becomes part of another stack of cluttered papers and a return call is less likely. The other possible reason for not returning your telephone call could be that your prospect may have inverted your telephone number OR they may written your number down wrong because you did not repeat your telephone number.

Wrong Decision-Maker

One of the most common problems that salespeople face when telephone prospecting is they’re contacting the wrong decision-maker. Your best rule of thumb is always the following: “Always begin your prospecting efforts at the top of the executive chain.”

Lowest-Level of Priority

Let’s face it, you’re not the highest priority on your prospect’s “To do list.” Your voice mail message may get deleted just because they have another more important task OR because they are expecting a message from someone more important (in their eyes) than you. How do you become a priority? One way is through something called PERSISTENCE.

These questions are hard for me to answer as I am not a customer of all these companies and these questions usually relate directly to the company’s products or service or directly to its market or industry. But, while I cannot usually answer these questions with specific guidance, there is a very simple and common method in increasing your customer base and ultimately your business profits and that is to know your customers.

If you know your customer these questions would already be answered. Therefore, get to know your customers. If you are afraid to ask your current customers or potential customers questions regarding your business – then, how do you expect to sell to them – to let them know about your business and how your offerings can improve their lives? This is one of the simplest but hardest concepts that business owners face – talking to and getting information from their customers.

But, it is your customers that will ultimately make or break your company. You should understand why customers buy from you (and not from your competitors) or why they buy from your competitors and not you, who else they consider when making their purchase, where they get their information about products in your industry and, most importantly, what need they perceive as being met by your offerings or similar products.

Knowing this critical information about your customers will not only put you above your competitors but will also provide information you need in developing or offering future products and services or even in improving your current products and services. What if you could tweak your current product and double your sales. But, by not knowing your customers and knowing what needs to be tweak – your business will never meet this potential opportunity.

To get this information, you only have to start asking questions. This can be done informally as customers are checking out, browsing around, at trade shows, networking events or visiting your website or it can be done formally with focus groups, mailings/surveys or even customer lead discussions groups.

People like to talk about themselves so provide them the opportunity to do so. If you can pull this off – provide them an opportunity to talk – then you only need to: 1) listen and 2) keeping the conversation near or around your product or company.

While many sales experts will provide advice on what questions to ask and how to structure these questions, I prefer a more informal type conversation as it allows customers to open up more and elaborate further. Plus, informal conversation is much more comfortable (on both sides) than a setting of predetermined, structured questioning – you don’t want this to seem like a police interrogation! Further, formal questions are designed to get specific answers – but, there are times when non-specific answers can lead your business down a new path. A path that you as the business owner might not have ever considered; a path that may be much more profitable than the one you are currently on.

The thing to keep in mind here is understanding why your customer buys from you (how you meet their need better than your competitors’ products) and where they get their information. Thus, you know how to target them both with message and media.

Getting to know your customers means having the tools and information to not only keep them satisfied but to keep them loyal to you as well. Plus, keeping open dialog with your target group will help keep you abreast of the changes happening within your industry as well as the changing needs of your most important assets – your customers. The end result – better understand your customers to better meet their needs and in turn they will help you improve your business and its profits.

EAS LeadGen posted the question: “As a professional, what is the most effective way to gain new clients?” The respondents were given a choice of five categories to choose from, on activities that would help them gain new clients. The following is a list of activities that they chose from: Meet Prospects in Person, Talk to them via Phone, Email Prospects, Follow-up with Prospects over Time, and Speak to Groups at Conferences/Trade Shows. In the era of unpersonalized media, emails, texting, Twittering and voice mails, the activity that surpassed the others by far was meeting the prospect in person. This is the number one choice by professionals in the Business Development, Sales, Marketing and Accounting industries. Human Resources chose to Follow-up with Prospects over Time and the Academic sector chose to Speak to Groups at Conferences.

Looking at the survey as a whole – 52% chose to Meet with Prospects in Person, 26% chose to Speak to Prospects at a Conference, 15% chose to Follow-up with Prospects over Time, and 5% chose to Contact Prospect by Phone. The survey was also segmented by gender, which females split in thirds between Meeting in Person, Talking on the Phone and Following-up over time. However, 71% of male respondents chose to Meet Prospects in Person, with 29% of the respondents choosing to Speak at a Conference.

After reviewing the results, the value of a face-to-face meeting outweighs other activities to gain new clients. Getting those face-to-face meetings can be a challenge – and that is where professionals, such as EAS LeadGen come in – making the appointments for the meetings. A team of professionals that work directly with your sales, marketing or business development team to schedule appointments to help boost sales. The EAS LeadGen team speaks your company lingo and is a seamless extension to your organization.

PRESS RELEASE

IdeaMama Group Launches IR Web 3.0 — Investor Relations Software Suite with an Innovation-Fostering Collaborative Platform

For immediate release

San Francisco, California, August 30, 2009 – IdeaMama Group, a leading provider of innovative enterprise solutions, today announced the launch of IR Web 3.0 – an investor relations software suite that offers two-way collaboration between corporations, their shareholders, and other representatives of the investment community. Included in the suite are two key packages: the Innovation Fostering Collaborative Platform (IFCP) that utilizes social media, and Instant Transparent Reporting Capabilities (ITRC). The IR Web 3.0 portal can now be added to every investor relations and corporate website of publicly traded companies.

Relationships with stakeholders have been one-sided for centuries. Today on a typical investor relations website all that can be found are company announcements and updates — the voice of investor is rarely heard.

IR Web 3.0 revolutionizes investor relations by making it easy to provide a two-way communication platform for interactions between management and shareholders leading to greater efficiency in the areas of operations and business development. It results in cost reduction and higher profit margins. It also provides full transparency which helps to create and maintain accountability while fostering innovation.

The product uses new trends in Web psychology that IdeaMama discovered while introducing various Web 3.0 consumer applications; this “socio-innovation” offers unique ways for Investor Relations executives to interact with their existing and potential investors; it enables action-driven interactions that develop communities around corporate initiatives; it engages the investment community in the innovation process — in product development, business development, and marketing.

“IR Web 3.0 hinges on new socio-ideology,” says Olga Kostrova, CEO of IdeaMama Group. “This is an ideology of transparency and measurable virtual collaborative behavior which advocates a dialogue that directly affects the company bottom line, and results in constantly increasing shareholders’ value. The vision embedded into our product design is the idea of building shareholders’ value from the bottom up. It takes ‘two to tango’ these days, and the time when investors simply sit back and watch stock prices move up is long gone.”

Today it is not only about corporate accountability but the ability of Investor Relations firms and IR executives to motivate investors to work for their corporations and support their new developments. IR Web 3.0 uses the most innovative IR practices and makes investor dialogue well planed, well structured, and highly productive.

“We tested the level of engagement and possible outcomes within our own websites, including IdeaMamaClub.com – a consumer Web 3.0 invention incubation platform. Now we are ready to launch segmented enterprise solutions, starting with vertical markets where it is the most needed in today’s economy — capital markets are more competitive than ever, and the old fashioned solutions have outlived themselves.”

IR Web 3.0 turns IR websites into productivity portals, and places corporate IR Web tools on the leading edge of investor communications.

SELECTED PRODUCT’S FEATURES AND BENEFITS FOR IR PROFESSIONALS:

1) Creating detailed professional profiles — enables personalized relationships with company management, consultants, and vendors.

2) Posting projects such as product development, business development, or marketing challenges to involve shareholders into problem solving — guarantees higher ROI and lessens company liability as it redistributes responsibility for outcome.

3) Rating projects — helps gain the assistance of investors to identify the most critical initiatives that require immediate attention and have the most significant impact on the shareholders’ value in the company.

4) Forming execution teams for projects, consisting of management, investors, consultants, and potential vendors — holds each team accountable for the performance of the project and will apply various forms of financial benefits for successful collaboration.

5) Defining and assigning any form of “virtual currency” as a reward for team members’ performance — helps companies to identify and compensate non-employee participants and engage them on all levels of collaboration, from structured brainstorming to full execution.

6) Generating introductions — enables each visitor of the project page to introduce contacts from their professional network and share the desired team outcome to engage suitable non-employee participants in the execution process.

7) Locking projects — allows project initiators to open the project to the public or only to a selected group of participants.

9) Promoting projects — enables team leaders to promote initiatives defined as “open for public” by embedding and distributing presentations, videos, and documents through SlideShare, YouTube, and other content sharing sites. It also enables members to automatically update the team, using Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace, Stumble Upon, Digg, and other social media sites, with news on project development, presentations, and related events.

9) Aggregating all social activities on the IR website with inbound RSS feeds — enabling the team to be informed immediately as things change.

Some of the most effective things in life are the simplest. Marketers spend a lot of time trying to understand the psyche of consumers, discover ways to predict economic trends and a million other aspects of business that can determine success. Hey, it pays to remember that some things are just basic, common sense and as easy as pie. Let’s look at some tactics that just might be the key to the success you’ve been pining for.

1. Keep An Eye On Your Best Customers
Yeah, wouldn’t be great if all of your customers were just like them? …easy to please, loyal, and ready to tell a friend about your wonderful service. Just maybe you can develop more customer just like them!

Think about it… what makes them so great? What are the traits they have in common? Direct your marketing campaign to people who are just like them. Focus on their niche! You’ll net new consumers and higher profits for your efforts.

2. Hurry It Up!
What’s the hurry? Todays customers are busily running helter skelter from work to day care to home to an event back home… They’re rushing through life, but trying to save a buck as they go. How much do you think they would appreciate the ability to do both in your shop?

Revise your advertising campaign to stress the time they’ll save and the money they’ll keep in their pockets while enjoying all of the wonderful benefits your products have to offer. Chip in a few specials where they can save even more moeny (with a deadline, of course). Deliver! Immediately! Let them save money and time… and hey, watch your sales explode!

3. Make it Easy to Buy
Convenience it the key to attracting buyers in today’s fast paced society. What will be the fastest and easiest for them… credit card, phone, fax, Internet, or cold hard cash? They say there are different strokes for different folks… your customers don’t all use the same methods to buy. It just makes sense that if the method they prefer is available, they’ll be more likely to take advantage of it.

Simplicy… ah, it makes life so much easier. Yeah, your harried customers are busy and tired. They don’t want to mess around. Most of the time, they just want to make the purchase and head home. Convenience stores testify to the fact that quick and easy often overrides a better price!

4. Follow Up
Following up with a customer who didn’t buy can be the determining factor between and “almost sale” and a satisfied, loyal customer. Simply contact them afterwards and let them know the product is still available or offer them further information they may find valuable.

One of my favorite catalog companies always closes out the sale with a special buy that is available only at the time of purchase. I’m not an impulsive shopper by any stretch of the imagination, but it stops me in my tracks every time. I know it’s a one-time shot, and I really consider whether I want or need it before I hang up the phone.

Expoding your current sales volume and profit margin may not be as difficult as you’ve been making it! Give these 4 tips a shot, and see what happens!

We are all familiar with business cards, post cards, brochures, and flyers. All these are effective marketing tools that help promote a business, a product, or a service. There is one tool though that many business owners don’t know about, or if they do know about it they don’t use it. This is the calendar. Aside from being used as a date and day guide, the calendars can also be used in business. If you have not taken advantage of this tool, it is time you do it today.

Business calendars are a great way to promote and deliver your message to your target customers. When designed well with the right style and material, custom calendars can be real attention grabbers. People would love to take them home and display them on their walls. With these attractive marketing materials, not only do you get a one time promotional tool, but a year round marketing tool.

Aside from giving the usual calendar, you can always give them with a personal hand written note to make your prospects feel more special. They will feel that you truly spend a lot of effort just to show them that you value them. A great way to design your business calendars is to use different theme for each month. You can showcase here the different seasons of the year, your top 12 products, or any image or information that will be valuable to your prospects.

One very good benefit of using these marketing materials in marketing your idea or your business is the space. There is basically a big room for you to print your business information, message and any other information you want to provide your customers. You can also put a welcoming picture of your business to give your prospects an idea how you do business.

Another benefit of these materials is that you can be sure that people will keep them for the entire year. That’s one whole year of promotion without having to constantly print and create new prints. That would surely be a great amount of exposure for your business in just one tool.

Compared to other marketing materials, calendars can be used for any event. Whatever the season or occasion is, these materials can help you showcase your business and your offerings. Aside from the usual date and contact details printed in the calendar, there other things you can place on your calendar templates. Here are some of them:

- As discount coupon. You can consider printing several coupons in the calendar. Say, two coupons for each month. Your prospect has to simply tear off the coupon for a particular month and use it when purchasing from you. It’s important that you tell your prospects that they have to use the coupon for the month where they are located to motivate them to act at once before the month ends.

- As note pads. Leave a small place on the side or the bottom of your calendar where your prospects can write notes, reminders and appointments. This will encourage them to use your material and place it in a prominent place.

- As information material. You can place interesting facts on each month to draw attention easily. Write something that your prospects don’t know yet. This can be a witty idea, a clever fact, or humorous story.

1) Whether it’s a 10′ x 10′ space or 100′ x 100′ – know your display before you go to the show – understand what products and/or services the graphics are depicting, know where the literature is to be stored and displayed, not to mention the products themselves.

2) It’s a blinding glimpse of the obvious but stand facing the aisle. You read it right; don’t turn your back to the aisle because you want any and all visitors to look at you and your display, not the other attendees at the show.

3) If your display is large and you’re part of the staff that works in shifts, know who’s working with you (his area of expertise) and draw on him when questions are asked you can’t readily answer. If you’re the floor manager for your shift; set the responsibilities of each shift participant along with where they should stand and what the ‘tone’ or thrust of this show’s marketing effort should be.

4) If your display is small; understand that others can hear precisely what is being said and approach each visitor accordingly.

5) If your booth space is geared for making a presentation or demonstration with a microphone, keep the tone low – your fellow exhibitors will appreciate your sensitivity to their efforts as well as your own staff who may be conducting sales conversations simultaneously.

Note, no matter the size of your booth space you will be overheard, so plan for it. Trade shows are noisy and a loud voice will call attention to the speaker. Whenever possible create a form that will be a quick check list of the visitor’s wants, needs and desires. These type lists can be your ‘one step ahead’ of the competition at the end of the show when you’re back at your office and starting to follow up.

Since many visitors have travelled a long way to come to the show AND are highly motivated to understand what’s new in the marketplace AND may be poised to buy

Know what confidential information and what’s not. If pricing is available, such as what’s found in a new catalog, determine which deal requires negotiation, discounts or special consideration. You may not be able to close that particular sale in the booth but you can meet the interested visitor ‘off the floor’ OR you will certainly know who to go to or call first when you get back to the office.

NOTE: Some visitors will come with RFP’s (showing a high level of interest in your firm and its products/services. Review the RFP while asking for details and setting a definite time your firm will respond. And don’t fail to keep a card of the person who brought the RFP.

6) Finally, take a calendar with you to the booth space. Make appointments during and after the show. Once upon a time, Trade Shows were only to gather leads but not anymore. With the international scope of Trade Shows and the cost of business travel skyrocketing; be prepared to sign deals at the show.

These tips are meant to boost confidence and, by extension, boost sales for you and your organization at your next trade show. These are brought to you by a veteran, Jim Deady, who has attended at least 500 trade shows and heads Showstopper Exhibits, LLC.
