Lead Conversion
Leads need to be converted into sales.
The integrated website visitor tracking system has now become a Contact
tracking system.
Again using the combination of web site visits, the Activity charts, the Lead Follow-up System and the Lead Qualification, should help getting the Lead converted into sales.
At the same time, competitors visiting your website could give
additional information on projects or prospects.
Closing Sales
The last part in the sales cycle is "Closing the Deal". This
is the
actions taken by the sales person to obtain agreement on the sale.
There are many closing techniques in sales for persuading the customer
to make the necessary commitment.
There are three advices frequently mentioned:
- It is not companies that buy, but the people in the companies.
- Ask the right questions.
- Sell on the tangibles, close on the intangibles.
These three are probably related.
Tangible and Intangible Benefits
The tangibles benefits are related to your product or service you are
selling, thus known.
The intangible benefits are only to be estimated or guessed, as they are related to the people, thus every case can be different.
Still the more you know about your customer, about topics such as
decision making, the goals of the company and the goals of the people,
the greater the likelihood of having an indication of the intangibles,
thus higher chance of success.
Thus asking questions will help to bring insight in their mindset or
drivers.
You cannot monitor all of the customer's actions and their behavior,
but you can monitor their actions on your website, the search words
used and the originating sites. These can be a representation or a hint
of the larger picture of their behavior or goals.
This limited knowledge of their entire behavior, can help to formulate
the right questions.
Questions generating answers, these can reveal the intangibles.
