With 2020 hitting the market hard, many sales leaders are facing less staff & resources while still being expected to hit (or exceed) quota.
With our customers facing similar squeezes, tried and true outbound tactics are falling flat, leaving us all scrambling to find that extra gear in our outbound sequences….TODAY!
In this presentation, Jeff Swan, Chief Playmaker at RevUp Sales, will demonstrate how to think critically about your sales messaging & sequences, so you can find an extra gear and book more meetings, while your competitors continue to fall flat with outdated (or worse, irrelevant) sales plays.

16. Hi {{first.name}},
We’ve never met, but I want you to read every
single word of this email because I’m certain
you have nothing better to do and this is the
only email in your inbox right now.
With that, I’m going to write out all of the things
I want you to know about my company, add
links to a BUNCH of content, and ask you to do
several things for me.
Blah!
Too
Long
17. Hello,
I got your name off of a list and you are in my
target market so you should buy from me.
Insincere platitude.
You’re great.
Buy my stuff.

18. Hi {{first.name}},
Since you’re a technical person, I’m going to hit
you with a bunch of buzzwords that make me
sound SUPER smart and confuse you to death.
Jargon jargon.
Get a dictionary.
I’m smart.

19. Hi {{first.name}},
I’m emailing you because I want to sell you
something, but I’m going to tell you my life story

Notes de l'éditeur
For people with Sales reps OR running Sales themselves
So pretty much everyone on this webinar today has some form of quota…and knows that even before COVID hit, it was getting tougher and tougher to hit.
Besides things out of your control, like unrealistic quotas, products being left in the dust by competitors, and a slew of other excuses…
Salespeople miss quota because they fail to make a meaningful connection with their buyer.
They are so obsessed with scaling that they forget to learn the game.
…and customers are showing their discontent by not responding.
Industry average response rate on cold emails is an abysmal 1%!
So we started RevUp with a mission to eradicate boring, uninspiring, and robotic sales sequences.
Write quota-smashing sequences and teach you how to apply best practices for effective outreach.
Then we started Sequence Practice to bring our expertise to the masses.
Joined by expert Playmakers from Outreach, Salesforce, and more, breakdown sequences with a LIVE audience.
Then post the results on the Sales Hacker community for more feedback!
One such breakdown really got our attention and inspired us to present what we did and what we’ve learned through Sequence Practice so far.

Another example.
Tech company that is just starting cold outreach.
Great start by following some best practices, but guilty of some common mistakes.
Biggest challenge was that it was all about the seller – didn’t tell a story of WIFM for the customer

Another submission from a company focused on design…

Not salespeople…in the whole org.
Told a creative story.
Great storytellers!
You can tell they know their customer AND care
With some work, will get good at prospecting.
Think like an advertiser and GET ATTENTION
Make your customer the star
Use natural language and speak like you’re speaking to a friend or a colleague.
That solution was the RevUp Framework.
Tom hired RevUp to find out exactly why his emails, calls, and social touches were not performing + implemented a new Sequence Strategy, using the RevUp Framework, that boosted his response rates significantly. His team booked more meetings this quarter than ever before and his boss was ecstatic.
He worked with his Playmaker, an expert from a leading sales organization, who is actively selling in the market TODAY and knows the unique challenges of selling in the rapidly changing landscape of 2020.
Tom joined the many brands that have turned their B2B teams into Sales & marketing rockstars with quota-smashing sequences from RevUp Sales.
Now it’s your turn to join the winners’ circle and revup your sales with an expert Sales or Nurture Sequence.
