Marketing Mix
Since marketing and sales go hand in hand, your company's marketing mix plays a central role in bottom line sales revenue. The industry's leading sellers employ multichannel marketing strategies and prioritize channels that target decision makers.
Although there are no one-size-fits-all marketing strategies for ice cream and frozen yogurt shops, B2B sellers often achieve higher returns by outsourcing lead generation to a third-party provider. Experian and other vendors maintain accurate and up-to-date lists of ice cream and frozen yogurt shops. For many businesses, these lists establish a framework for the rest of the sales cycle.
Sales Team Considerations
Most of the businesses that sell to ice cream and frozen yogurt shops leverage a team sales approach.
Although your team may consist of individual sales reps, each rep has to recognize their role in the team strategy. There is simply no room for solo sales in this industry! Team-based training programs and other initiatives can be beneficial, but the best strategy for encouraging buy-in to a team sales model is for owners and managers to become role models for teamwork.
Benefits of Networking
Networking broadens your prospect pool. In addition to raising your company's profile, it strengthens your reputation with ice cream and frozen yogurt shops.
But more importantly, a strategy that emphasizes networking as a core sales activity inevitably drives more leads and referrals into your company. Sometimes the leads you generate through consistent and intentional networking will be leads that were otherwise hidden from your business.
