Finding the Focus

13/02/2024

This is how you are going to close more deals in 2024

And it involves making less sales calls
Talking less about your product
Listening more

It starts with talking to the right people

Make sure your marketing is targeting the right people
Make sure your product solves an issue they have
Make sure you can meet their expectations

Once you have the right people; STOP:

Playing the numbers game
Trying too hard to build individual relationships
Talking about how good your product is

It’s not about you

It’s about the problems your customers are living with
They want a solution
They want you to care about them

What do the best salespeople do more than anything else?

They listen
They ask questions
Then they listen some more

The results:

✅ Short sales cycles and high conversion rates
✅ Engaged sales teams
✅ Happy, return customers

In a nutshell…

🎯Highly targeted marketing campaigns hit their market with precision…
❌ Stop spending time, money and effort trying to play the people and numbers game
👍🏼 Start understanding your market.

How do you solve your brand awareness issues quickly?

It’s difficult to sell anything when no one knows who you are!
When people don’t know how you can help them
Or what you do.

Brand awareness is a huge problem

And most companies struggle to solve this.
Why?
Because the most obvious answers are wrong.

It’s not about:

Doubling down on your marketing budget
Targeting more people
Being on every platform all the time

🚀 The answer lies in the opposite direction.

Who needs your solution the most?
What do they expect from you?
What do they need to hear from you?

🔍 Spend more time and money identifying your target market
🎯 Laser focus your attention and hit your mark every time!

Stop doing the same things as everyone else
Stop trying to market your product to everyone

Drawn out sales cycles → with appalling conversion rates 🤦🏼‍♂️
Changing regulations → that keep catching you off guard 😳

That allows you to do the things you love

‼️Attention BDMs — Get more from your sales teams in 2004‼️

Without spending a fortune on useless 💩

🤔 If you are planning your annual sales kick-off session — consider this first…

💰 Rather than spending ridiculous amounts on a week away to the wine country in another vain attempt to find ways to motivate your sales team…

😕 Having them sit through days of over-priced motivational speakers trying to fire up the sales team…

Take a moment to understand what de-motivates the sales team…

😫 Trying to convince people who don’t know you to buy products they don’t want or need…

😖 Trying to report their sales calls and numbers in a CRM that doesn’t help them do the job you want them to do…

You might find it more effective to spend that time and money fixing their problems than trying to motivate them, like:

👍🏼 Targeted marketing to attract people who are actually looking for you

✅ Tools, systems and processes that make it easier to do the job and meet the customer's expectations

Attention business owners — 🛑 stop throwing money at your talent issues

Attracting and retaining talent is a huge challenge for mid-sized businesses; and the quickest solution is to throw money at the problem.

Except the results are short lived — with new employees not living up to the promise, and existing employees holding you to ransom. 🤦🏼‍♂️

So how do you break this cycle before it’s too late? 🤔

First; it’s hard to attract top talent if no one knows who you are.

You want top talent knocking down your door; not waving a massive paycheque you can’t afford to pay just to get their attention.

You need to establish yourself as ‘the brand’ in your industry to achieve this.

Second; it’s hard to keep talent if you don’t enable them to do great work.

It’s not just money that makes people unhappy at work — being asked to do tasks without the right tools. Or being asked to provide a service to your customers without the right support.

You have to enable your talent to deliver great work that they enjoy, even if it is a quarterly report.

So here are the steps I use to solve these issues:

1. Understand what your customers expect from you
2. Makes sure everyone in your team is on the same page
3. Provide the tools to deliver this experience

This will keep your current talent in place, and providing this experience turns you from just another company into the brand name in your industry.

You will be able to attract and retain top talent well within your budget — and you can do this in just weeks.

To find out how, and more techniques to solve your talent issues, DM “RESULTS” and let me show you how.

🚀 Ready to transform your business? Break free from the monthly grind and elevate your success to new heights.

Are you facing challenges like:

• Building brand awareness and credibility?
• Dealing with lengthy sales cycles and low conversion rates?
• Struggling with talent attraction and retention?
• Navigating through changing regulations?

Guess what?

1. These issues are not separate—they’re all connected to a single fundamental problem.
2. Jumping straight to solution mode rarely works.

The key to unlocking sustained success lies in addressing this root cause. If you want to escape the month-to-month struggle, it’s time to shift your approach.

Digging deeper into these challenges, we find that:

1. Brand awareness issues trace back to a failure to target your ideal market.
2. Brand credibility problems arise from failing to meet market expectations.
3. Lengthy sales cycles and poor conversion rates result from trying to convince unfamiliar buyers about a product they don’t comprehend.
4. Attracting top talent becomes challenging when your brand remains unknown, and retaining them is tougher without meeting client expectations.

The answer to these issues? Understand your market’s needs and expectations.
