Defining
success metrics allows you to formulate a game plan for your meetings with
prospective clients.
If you know what you need to accomplish, the
roadmap becomes very clear for what you need to achieve. If your success metric
is defined as your having a comprehensive picture of their challenges with
their current provider, you can prepare questions that will expose their
challenges. If your success metric is to gather all of the data needed to put
together a pricing proposal, the game plan is to ask all questions needed to
craft a solution for this prospect.
From a prospect's point of view, they have no
time or tolerance for salespeople who show up on their doorstep and ask
pointless questions for an hour. They are busy and very sensitive about their
time. If they accept a meeting with a salesperson, they expect that salesperson
to arrive having done their homework on their company and with a laser focus
approach to the meeting.
Remember, sales is a profession. They expect a
professional experience.
