In our open dialogue with InsideSales’ CMO Mike Plante we explore ways that inside sales rep productivity (code word for revenue) is shifting for the better. Why it’s Important: “The companies that lag behind in adopting new ways of selling and marketing are slated for the trash heaps of failed businesses.”. At the Funnel Media Group we believe that AI is the future of sales and marketing operations.

The questions you ask help you uncover buyer needs and desires, connect with buyers, and demonstrate your expertise. By asking questions, you can discover the buyer's buying process, learn about the key decision makers involved, and qualify the opportunity. Questions allow you to ensure that you and the buyer are on the same page.

According to a recent InsideSales survey, reps only spend about 35.2 Asking for referrals might be hard, but it pays off big! Ask most anybody for the secret to how to get referrals, and they’ll probably tell you the first step is to simply ask. That might be true, but it’s far easier said than done. Whether you’re a sales newbie or a veteran rainmaker, asking is hard. Apparently, it’s even harder for many men. Two guys in their early 50s recently told me they felt uncomfortable asking.

Customer engagement tools such as Outreach , SalesLoft , and Xant (formerly InsideSales) equip managers and directors of inside sales teams to set up customized outbound sales cadences for their SDRs, BDRs, and ISRs to follow. Inside Sales Managers are getting too hung up looking for the perfect sales cadence formula — the perfect combination and spacing of phone/voicemail + phone/no voicemail + email + social touch that will generate results.

That’s not because it can’t be done -- but because salespeople haven’t had the right process to follow. Until now. If closing a seven- or eight-figure deal seems like an impossible feat, then you are in luck.

According to a 2018 report by InsideSales , sales development representatives (SDRs) ramp time has increased by 5.8% from 2017… going from an average of 4 months to 4.2 months. Inbound reps have an even harder time, with an average ramp time of 5 months. Although this difference isn’t shocking, it’s a trend that teams want to reverse. Luckily, this study also uncovered the optimal ramp time: 3 months.

InsideSales reveals that the average sales cadence duration of five days is usually too short, and simply not sufficient. What Is It? Cadence refers to “a flow or rhythm of events.” In sales, those “events” are interactions with prospects, typically referred to as touch points. Once you make contact with a prospect, how often do you touch base with them without verging on obnoxious?

Nutshell

JUNE 19, 2018

InsideSales defined “selling” as prospecting, external customer-facing meetings, and following up with clients. When you think about the activities that are essential to making a sale, you probably think about actions that require the human touch of the sales rep—listening to a prospect’s needs, developing a solution for them, and asking for the sale when it’s time to do so. And then there’s everything else.
