We know you’ve got it. A documented plan? Check. A streamlined process? Check. A team of sales reps? Check. But hold on a minute. Why in the world is your sales performance stuck in the mud? 

As the old saying goes “What is the use of running if you are not on the right road?” And what do you require to stay on the right track? A killer sales strategy.

Here are the 5 most effective strategies that businesses should employ.

Customer Segmentation

Irrespective of what you are selling--- cutting-edge SaaS software or boutique consulting-- you need to know your audience. 

Customer segmentation will be your knight in shining armor.

Once you know what they want, what ticks them off, and what delights them, you can sprinkle a dash of personalization in every facet of your communication.

Buyer Persona Development

It’s a mistake when you don’t build a buyer persona. But it’s a bigger mistake if you do it wrong. 

Why? Because customers have a short attention span. This means you have to target the right people at the right time on the right channels with a customized value proposition that solves a burning problem for them.

Data-driven Approach

Carly Fiorina, former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, once said: “The goal is to turn data into information, and information into insight.” 

Leveraging data will help you gain valuable insights into customer interactions, purchase history, and engagement metrics. 

This data-driven approach will allow you to make informed decisions and precisely target specific customer segments.

Going Account-Based

Imagine a world where you only focus your sales efforts on your best-fit, high-value accounts from the start. Making this a reality (at least, bringing us as close as possible!) is the Account-Based Approach.

Gone are the days of instinct-based, adrenaline-fueled cold calling and Hail-Mary revenue generation. Say hello to intelligent prospecting, tuned by account-based personalization! 

Refining Lead Scoring

We rate businesses left and right based on how much we've enjoyed our experience. Right? Well, lead scoring is just like that. You assign a number to your leads that reflects how interested they are in what you're offering based on the behavior they’ve exhibited to your sales & marketing outreach. Call it a shiny price tag on their level of enthusiasm!

This smart approach can help sales reps focus their time and resources on those high-scoring leads, maximizing their productivity and skyrocketing your overall sales performance.
