How to chase Sales Goals?

From his more than 12 years of work experience, Nishant shared deep factors which should be considered while driving sales, revenues and businesses. These factors depend upon the demographics, analytics and marketing strategies.

While performing for different locations, he revealed having an understanding of the marketing culture for those locations is the first step towards making sales. For example, you cannot run the same marketing campaign in India as well as the US. As there’s still a chance to convert a “NO” into “YES” from Indians. But for the US people, No means No. So, at that point calling them again for selling doesn’t make any sense.

In order to boost your sales, he recommended it is really important to know the customer’s requirements as well as consumption. Because, if the customer does not consume the product more than 60% then there’s no sense in selling that product to the customer. The consumption rate will decide the retention rate. Moreover, the consumption rate of a customer from Day 1 is becoming the first metric to analyze the sales growth.

Apart from this, Nishant has disclosed many basic things to boost your sales that sales professionals often ignore. To figure it out, come and learn sales with Nishant Varshney by watching this video.

Moreover, an interesting fact about Rahul is that even being a South Indian, he prefers Marathi food over South Indian food. He worships his work in such a manner that even being a die-hard fan of Cricket, Rahul always gives first priority to his work, even on the day of the India-Pakistan Match.

Learn Sales In Pharma Company

Rahul on his sales experience with various companies revealed that Pharma is the only industry in which he never thought to work. But then, how he had entered into this industry? (Find out in the Podcast)

According to Rahul, there are two ways of doing business in Pharmaceutical. One is a traditional way of doing business where a medical representative visits the doctor, informs the doctor about products and align himself with the doctor to gain trust. The second is to allure the doctors with some sort of gift or promotional product.

But his organisation does not support the second way of doing business. He believed that the right way to do business is a traditional one. In this way, businesses in Pharma possess longevity and tend to stay longer. He also stated that this is the basics to do any business.

Similarly, to do the right business in Pharma is to gain the trust of the doctors as well as the patients. This is only possible if you do the business in a traditional way. Furthermore, Rahul also shares a glimpse of his day-to-day role in his Pharma company where he manages the 900 hospitals. He also disclosed a structured way to manage such a large scale.

Apart from this, he also shared some quirky facts about himself during the session. In addition, he suggested a smart way to make sales in Insurance companies.

So, stay hooked!

Not only this, but Rahul also revealed a top-secret of selling businesses just by following a broad equation, i.e,

No. of people who sells * No. of calls that they make = Amount of Sales

Social Selling Index

Besides this, Rahul explained the importance of having a good Social Selling Index. Social Selling Index is a LinkedIn formula that defines how much you are engaged with the audience. It depends on how well you are connected with peers, connecting with the right people, using LinkedIn in a proper manner & your activity on the feed. The higher the value of an index, the higher the chances of getting reach & engagement.

Hope this helps you out in your Sales journey!!

How To Generate Quality Leads Via Social Listening

As we all know, lead generation is the most crucial part for running a business. There are various ways and strategies to generate leads, true but have you ever heard about Lead Generation via Social Listening?

Well, if you don’t know about it, worry not.  Because we have got you covered. How?

Nitin Bajaj, Founder & CEO of Easyleadz – the B2B contact data provider, hosted a webinar to share his insights on “Lead Generation via Social Listening”.

Yes, you got it right, one can easily generate leads just by using different social media platforms, but in an effective manner.

So, let’s dive into it to find out how social listening helps us in lead generation.

Social Listening

Many of us may don’t even know the actual meaning of social listening. Basically, Social Listening is a process in which users utilize social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram & Facebook in search of solutions for their problems.

On social media platforms like Instagram, a keyword like “real estate” can help generate leads for real estate agents or companies. How? Stay hooked!

Overall, this is social listening, where due to social media, we are trying to extract the information of our clients that can be used for lead generation, brand building, content creation or partnership alliance.

Moreover, there are various tools for social listening. Among these tools, the highly recommended tool is the Mention. Because this tool is very easy to track or monitor your prospects’ activities just by setting and using some keywords. By using this tool, you can filter out the source about which you need information.

However, if you want to use the Mention tool on LinkedIn, then it will not work. Because LinkedIn does not allow social media listening. So you need to track and monitor your customers’ requirements manually.

Besides this, if you directly want to call or mail your prospects instead of sending a LinkedIn message, you can find their contact details using the Mr E tool. The tool helps in providing direct contact details of the potential prospects.

Apart from this, you can also perform Sentimental Analysis to target specific leads (know more about it in the video).

But, remember! Lead Generation is not an instant process. It needs a bit of patience and lots of analysis.

Now, moving on to lead generation through LinkedIn.

In this, there is not a specific tool for tracking, but, you can do the same by using specific keywords or phrases. However, this has to be done manually. Although you can go for automation, it may impact your LinkedIn profile.

Watch the entire video of the webinar to see how this process of lead generation via social listening works practically.

Despite being the second-largest user base in the world, only behind China (650 million, 48% of the population), the penetration of e-commerce is low compared to markets like the United States (266 million, 84%), or France (54 M, 81%), but is growing, adding around 6 million new entrants every month. The industry consensus is that growth is at an inflection point. (Source Wikipedia)

Sales funnel steps of a sales funnel can vary dramatically, it typically follows the same process: awareness, interest and evaluation, desire, action, and re-engagement.

Stage 1:- Awareness

The top stage is awareness, it aims for improving the clarity of your brand and starts collecting leads. While you want to be sure you’re targeting the right group of people, it’s also okay to cast a wide net at this stage.

During the awareness stage, you want to bring attention to your brand but you don’t need to push any particular product or service. Instead, you should focus on sharing ideas, solutions, or advice.

Stage 2:- Interest and Evaluation

Once you have completed the awareness phase you’ve engaged a lead’s attention and they want to know more about a particular idea, concern, or question. However, they’re still not prepared to consider a purchase.

Your main goal at this stage is to build a relationship with your new lead to determine what their end goals are. You can do this by creating a consistent brand voice and message that your target audience can relate to, and sharing it through various content channels.

Stage 3:- Desire

Now your lead is a full-blown prospect. Not only have you caught their attention and got them interested in your brand, but they’re also actually considering making a purchase.

However, you’re not quite ready to close a deal.

Your prospects still aren’t 100% sure if your solution is right for their needs. They’re going to be looking for how well your offer fits within their budget, their current business model, and what kind of outcomes they can expect.

Stage 4:- Action

This is the stage where all the action happens. After properly nurturing your lead, you’re ready to seal the deal and convert your prospect.

But your goal at this stage isn’t just to get your almost-customer to buy. You should also set them up for success with your product or service. This means providing them with educational materials that’ll help introduce—and equally importantly, incorporate—the new solution to their daily lives.
