Check our what social selling is and how to use it in 2021

It’s no secret that the introduction of social media in business has changed the game. But has your company caught up with these industry changes? It can be hard to adapt your selling style especially on social media, but the opportunities that come with it are more than worth it. Social selling is the new era of sales tactics that appeals to millennial buyers. Read here exactly what social selling means, why it’s important and how to start trying it out now. 

What is Social Selling?

Social selling is about leveraging your social network to find the right prospects, build trusted relationships, and ultimately, achieve your sales goals. This sales technique enables better sales lead generation and sales prospecting process and eliminates the need for cold calling. Building and maintaining relationships is easier within the network that you and your customer trust.

Why Social Selling is Important

You may still be wondering why social selling is important? Well, research says 91% of B2B buyers are now active and involved in social media. And among B2B professionals specifically, 39% said they were able to reduce account research time with social selling tools. We understand that not every sales rep sells the same or that companies have a certain way of doing business, but check out the other benefits to social selling here:

  • Builds better relationships with customers.
  • More deals closed. 78% of social sellers outsell peers who don’t use social media.
  • Monitor and stay ahead of competitors.
  • Appeal to younger audiences. 
  • A strong social media presence will legitimize your business.
  • Improve advertising for you and your business.
  • Contact your prospects in a more direct and personal way.

How to Start Selling With Social Media

It’s obvious now that social selling works, so how do you start selling that way? Here are some of the first steps you can start today to start selling on social media:

  1. Choose relevant social media platforms for your business. Instagram, Linkedin and Facebook are among the most popular, but others find success on TikTok and Twitter too.
  2. Create a wishlist of companies and start following them.
  3. Join and participate in Linkedin groups.
  4. Contribute to conversations and reviews about your brand to show that you truly care what your customers are saying.
  5. Find and create platforms to share relevant content. Blogs and social media are both great ways to share information about your products and participate in online discussion.

These are just some of the first steps you can take to bring a positive presence for your business to social media. It may be scary to start selling your products in a way you never had before, but the key to being successful in social selling is to focus on showing your customers that you’re there, you care, and you can adapt to the times and be there for their pain points through the years.

Start following these steps now and see what it can do for your business. As always, if you need help improving your sales process before advertising it more, schedule a free demo with us now so we can help!

8 Ways to Host a Great Sales Kickoff Meeting

Sean Huckstep

Check out 8 Ways to Host a Great Annual Sales Kickoff Meeting

Professional teams, especially sales teams thrive when they’re aligned and fired up about their team goals. If you haven’t decided a great way to set the tone for an entire team yet, consider hosting an annual sales kickoff. These types of meetings are a fun and engaging way to break up the routine of work and get your sales team invested in the next 12 months. See why kickoff meetings are important and tips for hosting your own below.

What are Sales Kickoffs and Why are They Important?

A sales kickoff meeting is an event, usually held annually, designed around bringing your entire sales team together to celebrate past successes, lay out your strategy, and share best practices. Sales strategy meetings are a great way to create strategic alignment across sales teams for goals, market strategies, areas for improvement, and focus on particular skill sets for the year.

Kickoff meetings are important because they encourage your team to build unity and include them more specifically in the goals you want your sales team to achieve. Check out how to make these meetings successful down below.

Tips for Hosting a Kickoff Meeting

Hosting an annual sales kickoff can look different for various sales teams and industries. But here are 8 guaranteed ways to make sure your meeting is successful and helpful to the development of your sales team. Use any or all of these tips to make sure you’ll achieve the results you want with your meeting.

  1. Choose between a day or overnight meeting. These kickoff meetings can be a 2 hour meeting or a multi-day experience depending on how much time you want to spend and what you want to cover as a team. We suggest an overnight trip to see how your team functions for a longer period of time outside of work.
  2. Venture beyond the office. Offsite meetings somewhere local or even further can be a great way to build more team unity outside of the normal day-to-day setting.
  3. Choose what time of year is best for your team. Depending on your selling season or industry, the best time of year for your kickoff may look different. For example, companies that do summer sales will do this but at the beginning of summer to really gear up for the busy season but many teams start the year off with their kickoff in January.
  4. Create a detailed agenda. You want to make the most of your time during these meetings, so creating an agenda will keep you organized and productive the entire time.
  5. Make it fun! Depending on where you choose to have your kickoff, you should include plenty of fun, non-work related activities to have fun as a team. This will result in everyone becoming closer and forming friendships that go beyond work.
  6. Use this as a teaching opportunity. Being with your team for an extended period of time is a great opportunity to teach and coach your reps on parts of the sales process your team may be lacking in based on previous data. Be sure to explain what you’re wanting the team to work on and why based on actual numbers or experience. This can be done as a team and broken down into a person-to-person lesson as well.
  7. Include input from the whole team. While it is important to have goals pre-determined as the manager or sales lead, make sure you allow the whole team to provide input on the yearly goals so they’re more invested in making it a strong year as well.
  8. Choose an applicable theme. Sales kickoff themes are a great way to focus the activities, goals, or plans you’ll be making. Here are some ideas we like: “Level Up” “Raise the Bar” “Next-Level” “No Limits” that you can use.

Start Planning Your Kickoff Now

What do you think about these tips? If you haven’t hosted a sales kickoff meeting, now is the perfect time to plan ahead and host one coming in January 2022. If your workplace is concerned about safety with Covid-19, virtual kickoff meetings are becoming more popular and are still a great alternative to an in-person meeting. What is your next sales meeting going to look like? Comment down below.

5 Presentation Hacks to Improve Your Sales Deck

Diana May-Jennings

Use these 5 hacks to create an awesome sales deck

Sales decks are a great resource for sales reps that are pitching to a new customer. Whether you already have one or you’re looking to learn more about what they are and what they do, we talk about what a sales deck is, why it’s important, and share 5 tips that we find useful when creating or editing a sales deck to make it more effective. Check out everything you need to know about sales decks now!

What is a Sales Deck?

A sales deck is a slide presentation (e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote, etc.) used to supplement a sales pitch. A sales deck shown by a salesperson to a prospect often includes an overview of the product or service, offers a value proposition and solution for the prospect, and includes examples of success stories from other clients.

Why is it Important?

The purpose of a sales deck is to supplement your sales pitch in a way that provides the potential customer with everything they need to know about your company and product. Ideally, this will lead to them confidently purchasing from you.

5 Tips for Creating a Superior Sales Deck

There are a lot of ways you can go about making a sales deck. Some prefer PowerPoint, while others take another approach with Keynote or Prezi. No matter the program you use to make your sales deck, there are some hacks and tricks you can use to make sure it’s a strong, valuable asset to your overall pitch to the customer.

    1. Create a useful overview. Customers want to know how your service can make their lives easier so the first thing you want to do is introduce a common problem, followed by a value proposition, and finally a solution that your services provide. Richter is a perfect example of making their opening statement a relatable problem that their customer is going to have. This gets the customer initially hooked when they segway into their proposition and solution.
    2. Have a strong brand identity. Using the same colors, logo, and theme the entire sales deck is a great way to make it look clear, professional, and stylish. Salesforce does a great job of using the same colors and font throughout their entire sales deck. They don’t need to be flashy to get their point across, they remain sleek and professional which is more appealing when making sales decks.
    3. Keep it straightforward. Whether you include 5 slides of 20, as long as you’re covering information that is clear, relevant, and useful to the potential customer it will be well received. LeadCrunch presents a common and basic sales deck that is ideal for a customers to digest despite it being 21 slides.
    4. Have a strong opening statement backed by data. Using a bold statement like “Snapchat is the best way to reach 13 to 34 year-olds.” This is a clear purpose that Snapchat serves which they then back up with research and data points.
    5. Focus on information the customer wants to hear and less about your accomplishments. It’s great to prove that you’re a great rep or company, but all the customer really cares about is what you’ll do to help them and why they should give you money. So make sure to always connect what you say to what’s relevant for them. We all know Tumblr, in their sales deck they focus less on slides and more on straightforward content that the customer wants to hear. 

What Will Your Sales Deck Look Like?

We gave you 5 presentation hacks to improve your sales deck, so which of these do you find most valuable? Have any of these affected your sales deck if you already have one? If you’re struggling with where to start, check out a bunch of the presentation and proposal tools that SalesRabbit has to make sure your sales deck and pitch are ready for customers.

Tips For Managing Sales Leads

Brady Anderson

Managing leads more efficiently in the Android and iOS Apps

Lead management is an essential part of being successful in sales. Without a way to organize and find your leads, your sales process won’t be nearly as effective as it should be. If you struggle with finding your leads, changing ownership, or setting appointments for your leads we’ve got the solutions below, check them out.

How to Find Your Leads in the iOS App

To locate your created leads in the iOS app, check out this video and follow the steps below.

 

To access the Lead Search, click “Sales Hub” within the lower legend of your screen.

At the top of the screen, click the word “Leads.”

Here, you will see a list view of all Leads that populated based on your filters. (For a review of how filters work, watch the video above.)

At the top of the screen, there is a blank field that allows you to “Search.”

In this example, we are searching by “Lynn.” Please note, “All” is applied to the right.

In this example, we are looking for a person named Lynn rather than a street. To the right of the search field, click the downward arrow to the left of “All.” All the fields we are able to search by are available. In this case, we click on “First Name.”

Now that we have the search narrowed down by first name…

…we are able to click on the name to go into the lead:

Or, going back to the search (red arrow in upper left hand corner of the Lead Detail page), we may click the map icon to the far right of the lead.

Clicking the map icon will take you to the physical location of the lead on the map.

Finally, going back to the “Leads” tab at the top of the screen, once the search is cleared out, you have the option to sort the leads by clicking the descending lines in the upper right hand corner.

Here, you may sort the filtered leads by Name, Distance, or Appointment from Ascending order or Descending order. In this case, it is most effective if your Filters have been narrowed down by date and Lead Status type, as shown in the example below:

Stats and Appointments

On the SalesRabbit Home page, you will see reports of three different stats, each with a daily stat and a 30 day stat. You will also have access to all your upcoming appointments via calendar.

 

Lead Ownership Change in iOS App

Here is a step-by-step way to change a Lead’s ownership on an individual, one-off basis. To change Leads in bulk visit our Lasso article. Before proceeding, please ensure your Shared Leads Filters are set accordingly to your needs of the map view.

1) From the Sales Hub section, select the Lead you would like to switch to a different Lead Owner.

2) After selecting the Lead, click on the Edit (pencil) icon in the upper right hand corner of the pop up.

3) On the Lead Detail page, go to the Sharing, “Owned By” section. Click the name of the current Lead Owner. A list of Users will appear.

4a) Uncheck the circle to the right of the current Lead Owner. You may click on the circle to populate a check mark to the right of the name of the individual who will be the new owner of this Lead…

4b) …or click “Group” at the top of the screen to find a User based on organizational hierarchy.

4c) To populate names under an organization tier, click the arrows or the name of the organization to break down the tiers until you get to the list of users. Click the circle to the right of the name of the user you wish to assign the Lead.

5a) Now under the “Sharing” section, the new Lead owner will be listed…

5b)…and the Lead will appear highlighted with their assigned User Color.

Use Data to Improve Your Sales Process

Scott Porter

Our own Zac Kerr chats with Ben from JobNimbus about how to stop sabotaging your sales team and how to improve your sales process. To make sure your team is set up for success and longevity in the sales industry you need to ask: what roles are important for reps to focus on, what data should be used to measure rep success, and is my sales process up-to-par for what results I want. Check out what Zac and Ben dive into here to improve and build-out your current sales process.

What Roles are Most Important for Reps?

Companies often have sales reps perform in roles that aren’t really part of their job description or they aren’t the best at performing. Doing this breaks your reps focus and isn’t in your best interest. According to Zac, the key roles that sales reps should focus on include:

  1. Prospecting to find new lead opportunities.
  2. Pitching those leads.
  3. Converting leads to closed accounts and new revenue.

So some questions to ask yourself as an organizer or sales manager are: how can you tell if your reps are being bombarded with tasks that can be automated or aren’t their job? Do you have a benchmark process with data that creates a repeatable outcome to measure rep success to? If you don’t use data in your sales process, see what data is useful when starting this step.

What Data Should You Use to Measure Rep Success?

Depending on what’s important to you and your company, these recommendations can change. But these data points are based on the three key roles of a sales rep. Using this method will help you break down the sales process in a way that isolates each rep and shows what they struggle with whether it be: prospecting, pitching, or closing. Here are some of the questions you need to be asking and recording data on:

  • Prospecting: leads contacted, what is the outcome? What is their reason for signing or not signing?
  • Pitching: what happened as a result of a certain pitch used. Did I qualify them? Measure your metrics and what happens with each individual customer.
  • Closing: What was the specific outcome of this deal? Was the customer satisfied with your closing time frame?

Characteristics of a Good Sales Process

Although some sales methods can change from industry-to-industry, having a solid sales process is a great way to ensure that your reps have methods to close deals and your company will be successful. Here are some characteristics we find useful when building or improving a sales process:

  • Be flexible, a good sales process should have rules but not be so constricting that sales reps can’t get creative and personalized with their approaches as needed.
  • There’s a lot of background levers that reps don’t have to pull. Financially qualifying a customer should be something done in the backend so a rep knows they’re pitching a qualified customer and not wasting their time. DataGrid AI is a great example of knowing a customer’s financial status before knocking on their door.
  • Be a ready-made product. A rep should be able to enter your organization and start thriving based on the sales process you’ve already used and found success with.
  • Open to change. As a business scales and grows or as reps find kinks in the process, a good sales process should be subject to change to help your reps close more deals.

Check out the full video here:

 

Implement These Tips

To summarize this great chat: it’s best for an organization to have your sales reps work on the things they’re good at not working on the things that should be automated or should have a process separate from them. This is a great way to ensure that your reps stay happy, motivated, and free of tedious tasks that they shouldn’t be doing. If your sales process needs some updating, ask yourself the questions above and start using data to find out what works and what doesn’t. You can always chat with us about sales and your company if you’re in need of guidance and team management.
