2. Why this is helpful:
1. Establish credibility (social proof)
2. Can help explain what you sell
3. Build interest
3. Simply sharing an example of a customer
1. You only have a small amount of time

4. • We worked with a sales trainer at a software company and they were having
difficulty getting their reps to learn the pitch.
• We helped to solve that by implementing our SMART Sales System.
• This not only made it easier to teach reps what to say, but ultimately it helped

9. Based on what you have shared, it might make sense to talk more because as I
mentioned, I am with [Company] and we provide a web-based app called
SalesScripter:
• Sales message builder
• Sales playbook
• CRM and email automation
Some ways we differ are:
• We are the only platform that helps salespeople know what to say and ask
• We are the only software platform that generates call scripts and email
templates
Some impacts from not doing anything in this area are:
• It can be difficult to teach sales reps what to say and ask when talking with
prospects
• It can often take a long time to get reps ramped up and producing sales
results
• It can be costly to have to let reps go due to sales performance

But I have called you out of the blue and I am not sure if this is the best time to
discuss this.
Are you interested in discussing this a little more?
Are you available for a brief 15 to 20-minute call where I can share some
examples of how we have helped other small businesses to:
• Increase the revenue generated through their website
• improve website conversion rates
• Increase website traffic
Are you available on Tuesday or Thursday morning? Or are you available to
continue talking about this now?
