Know the rules of engagement if you are going to approach a CEO

Don't ASS-U-ME that the founder or CEO is a man.  More women are starting home-based startups and leading corporations because awareness is better that this an under-recognized issue.

Major accounts sales tip for selling to executives, particularly CEO

Sales to executives is a whole different kettle of fish:  THINK numbers if you're meeting/have audience with a CEO=Chief Executive Officer | Chairman of the Board + keep your meeting request including any PowerPoint presentations to 20 minutes with Q&A at the end = Practice practice practice doing your presentation in front of audience of colleagues who can constructively give feedback.  Even if you don't make it to Q&A you HAVE to ask PERMISSION to extend time allotment or reschedule to continue the conversation - that allows them the chance to absorb your initial presentation and come up with questions as it would apply to their company 

Always send a thank you note:  or two

1) Email recapping what you told them, any comments or feedback -- take a colleague or manager on the call (no more than one other for total of 2) to write notes and itemize NEXT ACTIONS by BOTH parties in the meeting (who agreed to do what) - reiterate what your next appointment will cover - ask for their input and edits or additions; 2) anyone else that may be needed to attend the meeting (i.e. Marketing Executive/Ops) to allow the CEO to get their input and evaluation extra set of eyes and ears and opportunity identifier.

2) send a handwritten card thank you note - it can be generic but better if you have cards printed with logo and your contact details - like a postcard or put in an envelope with a stamp and your own handwriting with Personal&Confidential on seal side.  Here, you make a social comment like - have a great vacation, day on the golf course, board meeting, union sit in - you get my point?

Before each meeting, you send an agenda beforehand, with time length beside it - to show that you are only going to take the 20 minutes allotted.  Ask for confirmation of agenda and whether they have anything to add, or people to add.  If they say they want to invite one of their executives, offer to send an email, coordinating event with the CEO copied in.  That is called leveraged selling in my book (don't know if there is such a term in sales?)

When you end the 2nd meeting with a more gelled action plan from both sides, again you follow up the meeting with notes, next steps, action owner, timeframe and again confirm the follow up timeline - 90 days on the third Friday in January, for example -- giving both parties plenty of time to gather needs or cultivate services or proposal with estimate, costs and timelines. Or topics that were tabled for the sake of time.

Sound your battle cry

Most people would say that they would rather have their eyeballs poked than to meet with a salesperson.

Said nobody.

Not unlikely most people can think of dozens of excuses they could come up with to avoid a meeting with a salesperson.  There is no statistical reference, but the message conveys strong logic.

Bullying supreme.

If far more rampant in the workplace than any other place in the world.  Hidden.  Forgotten.  Ignored.

An acceptable temperament 

of a drill Sargent who scares people, not garnish loyalty.  Ones who decay a corporate pride to an emblem tarnished by the dismal noise from its exuberant military dictatorial culture.  

One guy's blunder causes a debate

One which should not have been needed to be educated on the error of his data.

I will endeavor to do so.

How healthy are your numbers?

Nope, unique to you and nobody else.

Naw, these are your own.
Your online DNA, meaning unique singular identifier.

What type of sales professional are you looking for?

The following blog is my all-time most read blog.  It certainly does focus on sales.  My first love.  My career sweet spot.

I challenged organizations to define the type of sales professionals they want working for them, or at least help decipher what type they may actually have.

Whether your organization is growing rapidly and you have decided to have sales professionals manage the steady influx of clients, or business is lagging and you think hiring a sales professional is the cure, you should examine what emphasis your organization's focus is on.  In both cases, they can increase your revenue, they may just do it differently.

Hunter or Farmer: What type of sales professional do you want?

Clever people will recognize and tolerate nothing but cleverness. 

                                                          ~Henri Frederic Amiel

 

I am often asked how do you really find a top performing sales professional?  What characteristics or qualities can you readily identify that will ensure you’ve got a winner?  That takes me back to what my own sales manager advised me when I was replacing him and asked to a top performing sales role to my first “gig” as a sales manager:   “Hire’em, train’em, send’em out, then watch’em like a hawk!”

I wish it were as simple.  Looking back now,  I can clearly see what mistakes I made when I started and find it easy to identify new or bad managers based on repeating those same mistakes.  Good and bad managers will be left for another blog while I tackle this weighty question:  How do you reduce your risk of making a bad hire in sales?

Initially, you have to understand what type of sales professional you looking for.   Most organizations will say they're looking for "Hunters" and not order takers.  What they mean is someone who can drum up new business.  They can be titled "Business Development” or simply “Sales Representative”.  They are more easily identified when you take the time to understand the Hunter mentality:

• Short sales cycles
• High call rate/activity (they will look and sound busy)
• Transactional sales:  Find’em and Close’em and Move on
• Someone else takes care of the follow through (deliverables, implementation), follow up and customer satisfaction
• They should be armed with lots of marketing pieces and tools to sell
• They will rarely make formal presentations or get involved with RFPs
• The call types are usually small to medium-sized businesses
• Networking to them is to gather as many contacts as possible
• They don’t need leads, but appreciate being fed leads once in a while
• They tend to turnover quicker because what attracts them to hunting may also go hand in hand with becoming bored with doing the same thing over and over again.
• Hunters aren’t as respected amongst colleagues because others tend to have to do clean up from the “sell at all costs” mentality.
• Make sure they are base salary + commission – reward based on results
• They will thrive in a competitive environment – post stats or sales scoreboards – that motivates them to see themselves on the top
• Don’t expect them to be a team player in the office because their game is winning sales, not fans
• They excel at “feature dumps” and may be more technically savvy with every gadget known to speed up sales
• They may be annoyed by too many meetings or impatient with training that takes them out of the hunt
• What paperwork?  You want them to make calls right?  Enter information into a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system – yeah, right, whatever you say … then back out they go.
• They may drive you crazy when you have to constantly remind them to complete administrative tasks.  On time?  When’s that?
• There will be several fish stories and a few whales that got away
• Research for leads is scanning newspapers or web Career Section
• In when the boss is, lunch with "prospects" and out of the office at 5

If you’re still gungho on taking on a Hunter, you should have a plan on how you will take care of existing customers or new customers once they’re signed.  For the sake of clarity, we’ll call them Customer Service.  Here are questions that should be addressed:

•  Are these personnel trained to handle complex issues?
• If existing customers are your bread and butter, should they be left in the hands of someone who may not be your most experienced employee?  
• Is there an elevation process to move up quickly to solve issues?
•  Does someone proactively call on customers before issues come up?
• Who monitors your company's service level agreements are being met? 
• Does anyone personally call on the your customer's place of business?
• How do you promote new product offerings to existing customers?
• Do you identify customers levels?  By revenue?  How they do business? Or frequency?   i.e. Business to Business (B2B),  mid-level, major accounts or enterprise.
• Who can keep track of whether competitors are swimming around your customers, low-balling to get in the door, and you only find out after they've already left by the donut crumbs (zeros) on the revenue sheet?
• If you bog your sales reps down with administrative tasks, writing their own proposals, composing RFPs from scratch, doing their own estimating, etc. etc. is it fair to call them a Hunter?

What often paralyses organizations is when you point out  “take care of your customers and your customers will take care of the bottom line” ...  or,  it takes 85% more effort to attract a new customer than it takes to keep existing customers happy.  This is where there is a disconnect.  Organizations want to pay someone commission to find the new customer and then have them move on to find more.   That is fine as long as you understand:

• How do you define new business?  New customers or net new revenue?
• Who manages the relationship with the customer?
• How are you going to take care of new customers once they sign on?
• Do you know whether the customer bought the person selling them just as much as the organization, service, product?
• At what stage or how do they transition from the rep to someone else?
•  How complicated is the sales process?  
• Is pre- and post-sales support required?
• How long are the sales cycles?
• Is your offering transactional business that churns quickly?
• Do you support sales efforts with captivating marketing or sales tools like brochures, samples or demos?
• How accurately are the territories aligned?
• Are you giving kudos to a rep who carries a $750,000 territory and increases new business by 10% and not to another rep who carries $1.5 million but only increases new business by 5%?

If you want your sales reps to do the hunting while the organization takes  care of the business they sell, that is completely fine.  However, depending on the answers above, sales cycle, ongoing involvement required, you may hire an Account Executive or Account Manager.  They come packaged looking like a  “Farmer” with most or all of the following attributes:

• Builders of strong and lasting relationships
• Not as high activity as their Hunter counterparts; there is a balance between hunting versus taking care of existing customers; more of latter
• They will be thorough because they care about their reputation
• They can be annoying by being actively concerned and want to be involved during any implementation process
• They will do follow up, know everyone and everything about the customer
• They’ll research a prospect, understand who’s who, what’s before they pick up the phone or enter the premises
• Networking to them is within the context of their customers' industry so they can attend their events, see them in their own environment, with their peers and learn more about the customer's business
• Yes, they appear to spend time doing pretty power points customized to who/what they’re presenting
• They rely on referrals more than cold calls, because they’re warm and a testiment to their hard work and reputation
• The new business  may not be from brand new customers, but from brand new individuals or departments within their customer base
• There will be little clean up from over promising and under delivering
• They will have  ideas on how to make the life of “their” customers easier
•  They won’t turnover, as long as you recognize the value they bring
• Don’t criticize their sales efforts, new business means new revenue 
•  Paperwork will usually be detailed, updates whether you want it or not
•  CRMs are conscientiously updated because they want to track and remember each customer as though each one is their only one (that is how they will be treated)
• They won’t mind meetings as long as it is discussing their customers, resolving issues, coming up with innovative ideas to manage customers better.
• You may wonder if that rep leaves if that customer will leave with them?
• They will be more of a team player because they’re open to learning better ways to retain their customers or new avenues to create revenue from their warm pool.
• Chances are while everyone else is sharing whale tales or discussing sports scores, they're at their customer's office or working at their desk; they'd rather not discuss it until its done
• You probably don't notice what time they start in the morning, unless it seems late, failing to notice dark circles under their eyes

This sometimes circles back to organizations rethinking the original complaint that they want hunters.   Many sales managers fall short on this area.  Especially new sales managers.  Ask yourself:  as long as revenue is growing, what is the problem with feeding off existing customers?  The predisposition is to expect new customers.  Many executives love the war stories of Hunters and think that they must be doing extraordinary. What is wrong  with new revenue channels from existing customers?  Aren’t the results the same?  The challenge being, you can't rely on existing customers in the long run.

As a matter of fact, most end up with Farmers because they actually prefer the behaviours of a Farmer.    They are easier to manage.  They don’t turnover as much, nor do they strain the organization resources as much as a hunter does.  

By now, you may be irritated.  What you really want is new revenue.  Well, then you have to decide what that new revenue will look like and how it will be managed once it arrives.

Often times,  the people doing the pre-screening are not sales people.  Unfortunately, the mediocre sales pros are sometimes better at selling themselves than producing results.  The Hunter is who HR tends to gravitate towards if they're pressured to hire someone that can sell.   In some circles, Hunters can be stereotyped as “bottom feeders”.  From my perspective, if you're not careful, they'll tell you what you want to hear then afterwards eat your bottom line.

Personally, I’d opt for the person who is attentive, appears to be somewhat humble, and asks great questions.  I understand that high turnover in sales actually detracts from creating revenue streams.  Many short-lived sales people result from being fakes, not being able to add value or deliver results.  I get it that there are ones that may actually look like a Farmer but still have the Hunter instincts.  That's when you have  found Utopia.

Follow the rules before you define them

Black & White Self-portrait wit glasses by Wix Photographer Juliette Jourdain

"This above ALL:  to thine own self be true."

~ William Shakespeare

 (Hamlet)

LOL, I have to chuckle.  I admit that I try a number of different online outlets or portals to connect and network.  As I continue to explore, I extrapolate a lot of mistakes being made by a similar group of people.

It would appear as though the majority of marketers think that their prospective clients are dumb or tuned out.  They think they are making the rules, when , in fact, they are breaking the rules.  I thought of a few to get started to those who reach out to prospect for others to hire you as a social media expert.

Rule No. 1 Know your audience and what they are looking for

Rule No. 2 Lead by example

Rule No. 3 Ensure your follower to follow ratio is weighted by who is following you, not the other way around.

Rule No. 4 Try to get a few online influencers in your corner.

Rule No. 5  Be your own unique voice, don't try to say what you THINK others want to hear.

Rule No. 6  Be creative, be thought provoking, be visual

Rule No. 7  Don't try to build your acclaim by 3 degrees of separation

Rule No. 8  Do NOT plagiarize others' ideas and claim them as your own.

Rule No. 9  Give credit where credit is due

Rule No. 10  Say thank you, show gratitude, share appreciation

These rules can be expanded.  I likely will.  The main idea is to get started with the idea and then let things flow and the ideas evolve.    

Rule No. 11  Test your ideas, check for traction, respond to interaction or reaction

Start at Rule No. 1 again.  Like a snowball, go through the process again, see what you can attract and build upon as you go through the steps each time.

Rule No. 12  Comment to an idea originator if something they said, you tried, and share what worked, what didn't work.

Rule No. 13  You will only build a crowd once you fade into the crowd or are enveloped within one.

Tulip:  my favorite flower

As today putters to an end, I bid adieu to 55 and resolve to coasting towards 60 now that I've crossed from the mid-point to the other side.  Thanks to one of my greatest Social Media friends, Mott, shared Conan O'Brien's birthday post on Facebook and I happened to see this morning.  How cool is that eh?    I like the idea of having "something in common with Conan O'Brien" .... and a whole list of greatest in the following company whom we keep on celebrating an April 18th birthday .... Bon Fete mes ami :o)
