Easy way to beat 80% of your competition (part 3/6)


Yesterday I talked about knowing your product. (If you missed that one, I'll have a link in the P.S. of this email)

Today I'm going to go over something equally important in your sales process.

Something that will automatically put you in the top 20% of your industry.

It's simple. You probably think you're already doing it. But most people don't.

That thing is Follow Up.

Something the Best Buy employee did not do at all (I'm not even sure if Best Buy sales reps are even allowed to follow up, honestly).

I was kinda hoping for some follow up since I wasn't sure when the best TV sales were happening. Or what was even really available in my price range. If someone would have kept me in the loop, they probably would've won my business.

See, stats show that 50% of all sales reps NEVER make a single follow up attempt. Instead, they let dozens of potential sales walk out thedoor every single day!

Even more, 65% of sales reps give up after two followups.

And 79.8% give up after 3 shots!

But 70% of customers say ‘no’ 4 times before they say ‘yes’.

That means dozens of potential sales walk out the door every single day!

So just by following up 4 times, you're already ahead of 80% of your competitors.

And by following up 5 times, you have another shot at those 70% of customers saying "no" 4 times.

There's actually a really good section on this in the book The 1-Page Marketing Plan that shows that after 12 follow ups, you turn your prospects into raving fans.

A quick story to drive this point home:

A couple years ago, we moved into a new house.

We have a dog, so we needed a fence.

I called several fence companies and filled out forms on their websites.

One guy even came out to give me an estimate. I mentioned to him I do "marketing stuff" and asked about his follow up process.

He said he's great at follow ups. He's just old school and still uses pen and paper. Hey whatever works? Right?

I told him I could help him transfer that into the digital age and even automate his follow ups for him so he'd have more time to do what he does best.

He rejected my offer, but that's fine.

It's now over 2 years later and I haven't heard from him not ONCE. So yeah he's pretty great at follow ups I guess.

Actually out of the 4 or 5 fence companies I reached out to, I think maybe one or two followed up with me. But only one time each.

So based on my own personal experience, saying you beat out 80% of your competition by just following up is pretty dang accurate.

Anyway, that was part 3 of what I picked up on during my recent TV buying experience. Hope this helps.

Took me a few days, but I'm back with part 5. Got lazy/busy this past week and never finished my business tips I learned from buying a new TV. So let's get to it... My last email was about making it easy for your customers to buy your thing and give you money. (If you missed that one, or any of the other parts, I'll have links in the P.S. of this email) Today I'm going to go over what I learned when installing my new TV. And how it relates to your on-the-job work. Since you're the expert in...

Yesterday I talked about the importance of follow up. (If you missed that one, I'll have a link in the P.S. of this email) Today I'm going to go over something equally important in your sales process. Something that could make or break a deal that should already be done. See, after I did my TV research and found the one I wanted, we went back to Best Buy to get it. I wanted to go to the store instead of buy online for a few reasons: One, I may get lucky and find a last minute open box deal....

Ok, I think I got most of my thoughts back into my notes (if you remember from the last email, I deleted my notes haha) Today I'm going to talk about what I learned in the sales process of buying a new TV. Once we decided to get a new TV, we made a quick trip to Best Buy to see what they had in our budget. And to see if we could get lucky with any open box deals. Got to the store and received pretty immediate help. Unfortunately no open box deals for what we were looking for, though. Oh well....
