“All sales journeys are long and complex” - Agree?
Reading a sales book about IT managed service providers. There’s some slightly odd statements in the book (and one too many shoutouts for Jordan Belfort who is a convicted felon). One sentence in the book reads: “all sales journeys are long, complex and filled with hundreds of little steps that all add up to one big outcome.” Can’t say I agree with that since I’ve sold over the phone in the space of 10 minutes (the buyer was in heat and the timing was right).

Did you see the guy on LinkedIn who does this? I follow him. He was sending coconuts with eyes drawn on to German engineering firms. Getting a good response according to him... the point being that even "dry" industries are full of people perhaps craving something different.

@Connor Benham ah yeah, it’s the same guy
On LinkedIn: "CURRENT STATUS: A VERY FED UP PR AGENCY OWNER"
Without actually replying to this person's post and giving them advice, what would your advice be? https://www.linkedin.com/posts/carolineeardley_current-status-a-very-fed-up-pr-agency-owner-activity-7231622405603938304-k-vI Seems like they're doing pitching and proposals up front for no fee, and then being ghosted by prospects who were possibly only ever suspects. I've a pretty good idea what someone like Benjamin Dennehy (The UK's Most Hated Sales Trainer Would Say), but what do you say? Also, do you think her writing about it publicly on LinkedIn is actually going to help her win business? I would think not. Whether she realises it or not, she's doing negative marketing for the company she runs. I'm not encouraging anyone to mock or laugh at this person, and I won't comment on her post because I don't really feel qualified to say anything on the subject. If I had to guess, it seems they're not going for a "no" earlier enough to disqualify - it's like there's some zinger of an objection in the minds of these prospects that doesn't get ferreted out early enough.

@Steffen Leidicke The prospects could be tendering without telling her - some middle manager whose job it is to collect quotes and free proposals for some ruthless procurement department. This person is moaning publicly on LinkedIn - not great for convincing anyone doing their research on the services she supplies.

@Markie Reeds those types of posts are all over Facebook aren’t they!? There’s usually some self-appointed community champion who keeps reposting exactly those sorts of things thinking that they can force reasons for buying upon buyers

Damn, I missed this!
Positive Feedback to First Direct Mail
Posted out the first 10 laser-targeted direct mail letters on Tuesday evening. Had our first response today (Friday) ... our future client isn't ready to buy at this moment in time, but I'm delighted with his really positive feedback 😊 Follow-up calls to the other nine suspects / prospects scheduled for next Tuesday.

@Connor Benham I got into a building recently because everyone thought I was the courier. A load of their parcels had been left outside, so I took them in and they buzzed me in. Obviously I took my letter in as well. The guy apologised to me because he hadn’t heard anyone ringing the buzzer and I waved my hand dismissively and was like “yeah, no problem, happens all the time! See ya!”
