Touchpoint Calculus: Why Sales Can카지노 사이트 킹덤™t Do it for Themselves

In an earlier blog post of mine, we explored the concept of Relationship Equity, which is the trust that 카지노 사이트 Delivery teams have engendered with their clients that allows them to ask the questions that salespeople can카지노 사이트 킹덤™t. They are able to uncover problems, challenges, and opportunities that customers would generally withhold from a salesperson, or even their account manager. Customers tend to believe that 카지노 사이트 people are there to help, not separate them from their money.

If companies can merely document and act upon the knowledge gained by their 카지노 사이트 teams, they can tap into a new wellspring of , at an extremely low cost. After all, these 카지노 사이트 interactions are happening anyway, so there카지노 게임 사이트 no money out of pocket being spent to acquire these leads. Today, I카지노 사이트 킹덤™d like to expand upon that post by exploring a second concept called 카지노 사이트 킹덤œTouchpoint Calculus.카지노 사이트 킹덤

Managing Customer Touchpoints: What is Touchpoint Calculus?

Touchpoint Calculus is a very fancy term we at 카지노 사이트 use to capture the idea that your 카지노 사이트 and Customer Success teams interact with your customers at a rate 5-15x that of your Sales teams. These interactions are generally within the context of helping a customer solve a problem, and are happening with some of your best technical engineers and problem solvers. If companies are going to become or stay profitable in a market where product revenues are declining and initial purchase sizes are shrinking, they absolutely cannot leave these interactions on the table.

services interacts with customers more than sales
카지노 사이트 interacts with customers anywhere from 5 to 15 times more than Sales.

Why is this so important? It카지노 게임 사이트 critical because this sheer volume of interactions is something that your Sales team could never cost-effectively achieve, and another key reason why 카지노 사이트 has to be involved. Think about your inside Sales team for a minute; they spend hours and hours cold-calling and emailing prospects, trying to find someone who is willing to talk to them about what they are selling. The connection rate for cold calls (actually having someone pick up the phone) is about 10%, but the actual hit rate for lead generation on cold calls is about 2%, and for email is about 4%. If you blend those together, you can stipulate that a productive rep can make about 100 communication attempts per day, finding 3 actionable leads, although I카지노 사이트 킹덤™ve run inside sales teams, and this estimate is probably still a bit high. It카지노 게임 사이트 a tough and expensive way to fill a funnel, and it카지노 게임 사이트 why your company has hired an army of recently-graduated liberal arts majors to pound the phones (I say this with love. I was one of them).

How Your 카지노 사이트 Team Can Drive Leads for Sales

Meanwhile this 카지노 사이트 킹덤œhit rate카지노 사이트 킹덤 becomes a non-issue for services delivery. Not only are the interactions more plentiful, but the customer is coming to you. For your support queue, they are quite literally lining up to talk to your people. Field and professional services time is something customers pay richly for. Now, not every interaction with your 카지노 사이트 Delivery team will result in a lead being generated, nor should it. 카지노 사이트 stands strongly behind its mantra that 카지노 사이트 킹덤œHelping will sell. Selling won카지노 사이트 킹덤™t help.카지노 사이트 킹덤 Leads should only be taken when there is a problem that can be solved by your expanded use of your offerings. Still, the opportunities are there.

Based on the findings from our recent survey, 카지노 사이트 킹덤œLead Generation through 카지노 사이트 Touchpoints,카지노 사이트 킹덤 we discovered that support services reps at 카지노 사이트 member companies where there are formal lead generation programs in place generate an average of 35 leads per year. That카지노 게임 사이트 about three leads per rep per month. However, given an average closure rate of 20% and an average deal size of $15k, even at one lead per employee per month, that카지노 게임 사이트 an additional $180,000 in pipeline and $36,000 in revenue per year...per rep. However, to capture these leads, you have to put in the systems to document the lead, get it to the right place, and make sure it카지노 게임 사이트 followed up on. You need the right systems to provide feedback, and management focus to sustain the effort.

Failure to Plan is Planning to Fail

These challenges, unfortunately, are why most services-based lead generation initiatives wither and die on the vine. Companies create grand plans around compensation and forge new systems and processes without understanding how they will sustain the effort. Their triumphant starts fizzle out within the first few months. A launch plan and an announcement email are not enough. Companies must constantly reinforce their efforts and demonstrate by word and deed that lead generation is important. 카지노 사이트 research, inquiry, and advisory can give you the best practices to help you avoid the mistakes of those who have gone before you. The leads are out there, and the numbers, as Touchpoint Calculus shows us, are simply too big to ignore.
