Inbound and outbound sales departments

Why create two separate sales departments?

When incoming requests become overwhelming, maintaining relationships with existing clients and increasing loyalty becomes less of a priority.

Moreover, even new prospects often become active only if regular communication is established with them. The average sales department is very poor at this. What can be done? Read below, and also watch the video on how to hire sales managers...

Self-study Guide to Cold Sales Techniques, STEP 1: Goal Setting

Good afternoon,

This presentation will teach you how to make cold calls and sell your products to corporate clients. But that's not all. As you work, you'll continually develop your company brand or your personal brand as a salesperson, which will ultimately lead to your main goal: becoming a popular and authoritative salesperson in your field, and clients will begin to contact you. This applies to both business owners and sales managers, who can quickly become popular among their clients.

Setting up contextual advertising using analytical methods

We'll break the training into distinct steps, as only by applying the acquired skills individually, one after another, until they're fully mastered and consolidated, can we achieve truly interesting and visible results.

Step 1. Setting a goal. If you know exactly what you want to achieve, it's much easier to achieve. If you know that a hundred customers will come to your office today and you want them all to place an order, that's a clearly defined goal. Customers definitely want to buy the product; otherwise, they'd hardly be willing to travel, sometimes quite a distance, to come to you. This means the goal is clearly achievable.

Once you set a goal, you begin to improve your results until you achieve complete victory. You focus on the outcome, you see it, and the right words and actions often automatically come to mind. Each successful outcome strengthens your confidence that what you desire is possible, until you achieve complete victory!

It's the same with cold sales. After you've worked with a sufficient number of real cold leads, they become just like real customers to you, who clearly need your product and seem just waiting for you to contact them and tell them the good news that there's a solution, and you've got it.

Вы перестаете чувствовать большую разницу между клиентами, которым уже звонили представители Вашей компании, которые уже слышали о существовании вашей фирмы, и теми, которые вообще не в курсе, что вы существуете. Первое упражнение, которое Вам стоит сделать, это сначала долго звонить клиентам либо действующим, либо тем, которые уже в базе потенциальных клиентов, которым уже звонили и отправляли письма, но пока сделки нет. Вам надо убедиться, что многие из них могли забыть, что вы за компания, но вы спокойно напоминаете, обновляете контакты и информацию и общение тем не менее нисколько не отличается от того, которое происходит с теми, кто помнит, иногда даже более интересный разговор получается.

Tune in and feel that completely new clients are just like you, companies interested in your product, and perceive you in the same way. Now, call them without losing the feeling of friendliness and understanding on both sides. Maintain the tone, intonation, and confidence you had when speaking with existing clients. You need to ensure that every contact flows smoothly, friendly, politely, and calmly.

Until you get used to cold calling exclusively, start each time you call clients with an existing database and get into the right mindset. You've achieved your goal when you don't need to adjust; you make any calls easily, at any time, in any order, and enjoy them. At the same time, you should clearly understand that more than a third of the clients you've spoken with will definitely become actual clients in the very near future. That's why you feel so comfortable and confident that this is true. This isn't just a statistic; it's your goal, which you clearly see, as in the example with clients who have already come to the office. The same applies here: people are making contact, they've already shown you their interest, now it's up to you..

Besides incentive systems, company managers are most often concerned with sales forecasting. I've noticed that sales volume forecasts are most often purely theoretical, as a result of subjective observation of previous periods' figures and the level of ambition. However, there is also a scientific approach to forecasting sales and website traffic, which I recommend adopting. There is the so-called Adaptive Trend-Seasonal Sales Forecasting Method. It takes into account the seasonal impact on sales results by observing the seasonal trend, giving the most recent year of observation more weight than the previous one, accounting for the degree of variation in values and the impact of unforeseen and variable factors on sales results: the presence or absence of discounts, promotions, special offers, various types of advertising, sales, etc. Scenario forecasting is also possible to achieve the desired result. We offer both commissioned data analysis for sales forecasting (usually three years of data are analyzed to track the impact of seasonal factors), and training for employees in relevant forecasting skills. All calculations and graphing can be performed in Excel.

We also offer training for sales managers on sales techniques: sales stages, spin selling, handling objections, closing deals, buyer psychology, and much more. By conducting regular training sessions to enhance your skills, you can significantly increase your sales. While this is common practice in Western companies, in our country, it's still a local phenomenon, despite all the advantages. We also offer numerous courses for professional development for marketing department employees. For those who use YouTube, I have a link to the "Key to Sales" channel, which you can freely use for non-commercial purposes to improve the skills of sales employees and managers, delegate tasks, develop motivation systems, hire sales managers, and more.
