Six Steps to Ensure Maximum Sales Calls Efficiency

Achieving sales calls effectiveness is every sales professional’s objective behind each call. Being able to achieve conversions and close deals relies on number of success factors that should be followed.

In this blog post, we are going to dig deeper to showcase six essential steps that will ensure that your sales calls are successful to harness the maximum potentiality of each customer touchpoint.

1. Set Call Agenda & Expectations

If you are not clear about the main objectives of the call, you might not reach any tangible business value from your sales efforts.

Your agenda lists your priorities along the duration of the call and ensures that you focus on the important points to be tackled during the call. Such agenda could slightly change during the call based on multiple external factors. However, it organizes your thought process during the call.

2. Reiterate Pain Points

Reiterating pain points of your customer shows that you actively listen to their needs and problems. Ensure to show a positive, solution-oriented attitude when it comes to pain points and try to link each pain point with one or more of your product’s features and benefits seamlessly. That way you will ensure that your prospect is assured that your product has the power to solve his problems, which will increase the likelihood of closing a deal eventually.

3. Focus on Product Value, Not Features

As we tackled before, speaking with a problem-solving-oriented language and tone of voice can do a lot of magic. To ensure you are adopting such tone, make sure to lean on features. Paint a picture of your product with vivid data and facts to showcase how it can benefit your prospect and solve their problems.

Make sure to back up such picture with measurable improvements and tangible data.

4. Focalize on Your Unique Differentiator

Sales professionals should always make their best when it comes to understanding their product and what differentiates it in the market when compared with competitors. To avoid such situation, where a prospect can tell you that a competitor is offering the same as you, make sure to research your competitors in advance and articulate differentiators that clearly elevate your product above competition.

Try always to broaden the conversation to aspects that your prospect might not have thought of before and that have their place in your offering.

5. Balance Rigid Data With Stories

As tackled before in our previous blog post, organizing your sales calls is essential, and it will empower you to balance you statistics and data with stories that can influence your prospects.

Bringing stories into your messagings is effective method used in expediting the sales cycles significantly, so make sure to harness the influential power of storytelling. However, if you feel that your prospect is a purely analytical person, make sure to prioritize the utilization of facts and statistics that would back up your offering.

6. Close Call With Clear Next Steps, Including a Clear Follow-up Timeline

If you do not outline what happens next in a clear timeline, your efforts might go to waste. Ensure to align your prospect on what is the next step and facilitate anything they need from their end to make the decision easier in terms of approvals and documents. Set a schedule for next actions and align the customer on such timeline and make sure to send a follow-up email that summarizes the call. This is how you make sure that you closed the deal properly.

If you make sure to apply these six essential steps, you are more likely to expedite the sales cycle and make a real market impact.
