Just as a farmer plants in the spring and harvests months later, you as the salesperson will also need time to grow a lead and harvest a customer. Is prospecting a four-letter word in your mind? If you had to choose between prospecting and having a root canal, which would you choose? Maybe you wouldn’t choose the root canal; however, you certainly would rather have a cavity filled than have to prospect. Relax! You’re not alone.

Moreover, the stalk is relatively easy to harvest single-handedly. Despite praises for teamwork, many businesses operate in an unspoken culture of individualism. The origins of this individualism in the US, however, didn’t start with the emergence of corporate structures. It started on the farm. America’s climate and land are optimal for growing corn. Eventually, horse-drawn cutters came into use, followed by mechanical versions as early as 1850.

Where harvesting is not just work. I love a sunburnt country. And the salt lakes of Sea Lake. Where deadened tree trunks boast. Behind salt entwined fence posts. Laying home to make-believe sharks. Who were chasing make-believe men. That were hilariously placed. by a strategic comedienne. Where the street art is lit up. Not just by the glow of the moon. But the inner light of people. Inside historically done-up rooms. Where a grand old pub. Filled with music and laughter.

In essence, harvest time! Then it’s time to act, much like farmers at harvest time, you need to focus on systematically brining in the crop, not meander aimlessly in your fields. Well here we are at that odd part of the year, while not officially the end of summer, most consider it to be; while not the final quarter, for many, September is part of the final run up to year end.

Think of this group of specialists as “lead farmers,” or prospect development specialists—they qualify inbound leads, nurture lukewarm prospects, and turn the developed leads over to the sales force for harvesting. Most sales and marketing teams are looking for ways to generate more leads. It's likely a daily discussion for most of us, but have you ever considered that your sales reps need fewer leads—or more accurately, fewer raw, unfiltered, unqualified leads.

If a Framer is primarily seen Harvester, then indeed it is probably not a good analogy for what an account manager does. Before a Farmer can harvest, planning the use of the land best suited to the quality of the soil, according fertilizing and sowing the right crop are prerequisites for success. From these discussions, I conclude that there is a third role to be considered; the one of a Harvester.

A glorious, gleaming, Harvest moon. Each day we have the opportunity to be inspired, motivated, energized by our surroundings. This inspirational exchange happens for some almost unconsciously. We see the snow clinging to the tree branches and the quietness of a winter day. Inside we are inspired by its beauty and may even take a few moments for spiritual reflection. We hear a song either on a record or even a meadowlark singing to awaken the morning.

While it is true that the only reason for a prospecting call is to set up the first formal interaction, there is so much more that can be accomplished. Most are focused on and working on getting that primary directive right. One thing that many fail to do in prospecting calls is set the momentum for the Discovery and beyond. Tactically.
