Executive Calling
Three months after attending the session, 75% of participants reported they were calling at an executive level, as compared to 29% prior to attending the session. Among participants, 94% said they had identified new opportunities as a result of the workshop and 62% had closed one new opportunity.
To uncover the top strategic priorities in organizations, salespeople need to overcome their reticence about developing relationships with executives outside their usual circle of contacts. They need an enterprise-wide calling strategy for meeting with the right people at the right levels, with the objective of confirming the top business priorities. Based on this information, salespeople can prioritize opportunities and determine which solutions will provide the greatest benefit to the customer. To be successful, however, it's essential to: 1) identify whom to call on; 2) prepare for the call to ensure credibility; and 3) lead the conversation in the role of a business resource, not a salesperson.
