- Any salesperson can tell you that relationships have been – and will be – key to their success. But the process of building relationships with your prospects and customers has changed. You can’t sell like you used to and still successfully build relationships. It’s changed because buyers have changed how they buy in three specific ways.
- In the traditional sales model there is only one buyer, you have to find them and keep trying to contact them But many other people in company; decisions are not made in isolation Some of them influence the primary buyer; you have to identify who these influencers and other members of the buying committee According to the Corporate Executive Board there are 5.4 people involved in the average buying decision - meaning 4.4 influencers in a given buying decision, in addition to 1 purchaser
- B2B decision makers inform themselves in various ways when making a purchasing decision. Traditionally, these have included vendor websites, white papers and network referrals / recommendations. However, today, social media underpins all three of these sources (company pages on LinkedIn, blog posts, social relationships) – so its no surprise that 75% of B2B decision makers use social media to make informed purchases (according to research by IDC, International Data Corporation) And, use of social media increases with the seniority of the buyer – 84% of VP+ decision makers use social media when making a purchasing decision. If you’re not actively using social media to reach buyers, you could be missing 75% of the people out there.
- You used to be able to reach your buyer with cold calling. But buyers are overwhelmed with cold outreach. They’ve put up a brick wall. In fact, according to Harvard Business Review, 90% of c-level execs ignore cold outreach. That means you’re only reaching 10% of all decision makers. So how can you continue to build relationships if you can’t reach them?
- Buyers don’t make decisions like they used to – their process has changed. The average buying decision involves more people than before; the team now has to come to consensus before purchasing This expanded buying group is doing research on social media in addition to (or instead of) traditional research This buying group is not responding to traditional methods of sales contact – cold outreach
- Have you adapted your sales process to fit the buyer’s new process? Are you looking for one all-powerful decision maker? With the expanded buying group of 5.4 people, if you are single-threading an account, you are setting yourself up to be blocked if that one buyer goes dark Imagine your decision maker at a table with all of the people he needs to convince to purchase your product; if you haven’t reached out to them, the likelihood that meeting goes well is slim Are you relying on the account to keep you updated? They’re more informed about you now; you have to ensure you are equally informed about them. Imagine that you’ve only been targeting one decision maker. What happens if that one person changes jobs - and you don’t know? Suddenly, all of your work with that account is lost. You need to be informed on what is going on with them so you can intelligently speak to their challenges or successes. Did their stock just tank? Did someone important in the industry start working there? When the buyers start doing research online, you want to be part of their research process - be their go-to source of information. Otherwise, how can you influence the decision. Are you treating your prospects like a name in a database? Cold outreach is not effective, and is getting less effective over time. Why? Because decision makers are bombarded with calls and emails. How do you get through the clutter? How do you get in the door?
- In this new normal, you have to cater your sales process to the way the buyer is now working. You need to : Focus on the right people and companies Stay informed on key updates at your target accounts Build trust with your prospects and customers
- LinkedIn has the information you need to adapt to this new normal. 300M + members and 2 new every second - so you can find the right person, or people, to focus on 2B + member updates per week - so you know what these people are talking about and what’s going on with them Billions of professional relationships - so you can reveal connection paths between your company and your target account that you can leverage for a warm introduction
- LinkedIn is a really powerful tool for sales However, free LinkedIn is focused on your personal - not business - growth To really tap into the power of LinkedIn, you need to expand your access to the broader LinkedIn network. With free LinkedIn, you only see 1/50th of what you could see with a premium license. And you also need to tailor your experience to just the information relevant to your sales role. 50x as much data is great, but can be overwhelming if not focused on what you care about.
- There are three key inputs in LinkedIn Sales Navigator Data from the LinkedIn network Relevant news from around the web Your accounts, leads, and preferences Together, these inputs are put into LinkedIn’s matching and insights engine. Your accounts, leads, and preferences are used to filter down LinkedIn’s network data and relevant news to just what matters to you. The result are customized recommendations that help you to establish relationships and actionable insights that help you to grow relationships
