Sales Advice By Market
Selling to Audiologists Practices
There's no question that audiologists practices are excellent sales targets - and that presents an opportunity to entrepreneurs who want to improve bottomline profits. For entrepreneurs that market to audiologists practices, the good news is that the right sales strategy can lead to fast conversions in this market.
In today's economy, even small missteps can have dramatic consequences for your company's bottom line and impede your selling success.
Many audiologists practices expect stellar service from the companies they do business with. But service alone won't close the deal. For B2B companies that sell to audiologists practices, the consistent application of sound business principles is just as important as your relationships with your customers.
Reaching Prospective Customers
Prospecting is the process of identifying potential customers and converting them to qualified leads.
Networking can fine tunes prospecting performance and conversion ratios. However, it's important to make sure your sales force isn't so focused on conversation that they miss the point of prospecting, i.e. the identification of likely buyers, key decision makers and high value industry contacts. In other words, the type of people you meet is just as important as the number of people you meet when prospecting for audiologists practices.
Lead lists are useful because they narrow the field for your team. Third-party lists from reputable vendors (e.g. Experian Business Services) arm your sales force with good leads, making it easier for your company to balance the quantity and quality demands that are prerequisites for effective prospecting.
Benefits of Networking
Networking broadens your prospect pool. In addition to raising your company's profile, it increases your credibility with audiologists practices.
But more importantly, a strategy that emphasizes networking can be a lead generation machine. Sometimes the leads you generate through solid networking will be leads that you had never considered before.
Role of Owners & Managers
Owners and managers are active players in selling to audiologists practices. Front line visibility is essential for large accounts, but your sales team can benefit from occasional field interactions with the owner or sales manager.
By periodically accompanying your reps in the field, you gain valuable information about the market and the execution of your sales strategy.
