The Sales Pipeline* It’s in “Seeing the People” There is not a business going that does not depend on new people to see.  Somehow someone must put names into the pipeline so that what comes out the other end are completed missions.  Although there are multiple facets to operating any business, the entrepreneurial spirit would mean nothing without new prospects, and these mean less if no contact is made.  The success of any business venture can be measured by the percentage of time spent face to face, and this time occurs only when someone asks for the meeting. General Public Targeted Market Specific Prospects Eliminated by Choice Initial Contact No Need At This Time Study of Their Needs Proposal Inappropriate Proposed Solutions to Client’s Problems Confirm The Purchase Assure Client Satisfaction * from the “Business of Selling,” Allesandra & Cathcart 10

Generally, the more an agent relies on “cold” methods of prospecting, the lower his/her productivity and the shorter the career in sales.

Weekly Sales Success Formula Below, the Weekly Sales Success Formula is charted in the form of a funnel.  On the left-hand side of the funnel, you will see “Guidelines” showing the suggested number of Suspects, New Contacts, Follow-up Contacts, Cases Opened, Closing, Sales and Commissions. On the line below the funnel, enter the average weekly amount of “Commissions” you wish to generate.  Then develop, and fill in the lines down the right-hand side of the funnel, “Your Standards” — as required to generate the “Commissions” you set to achieve. “SUSPECT” - New people whom you plan to contact in the near future.  You only have a “Suspect” when you know the name, address where to be contacted, phone number, occupation, approximate age, family status, hobbies, interests, etc. “NEW CONTACT” - A ‘New contact’ is when you have an appointment to speak to someone for the first time about one of the company’s products. “FOLLOW-UP CONTACT” - A second or subsequent interview, as part of the selling process, on any previously Opened Case. “NEW CASE OPENED” - A “Case” is “Opened” when you have had your first interview and decide to continue your negotiations. “CLOSE” - A “Close” consists of a face to face (not telephone) conversation during which you ask the prospect to take some positive action, such as signing the application, to be recorded whether the attempt was successful or unsuccessful. “SALE” - A “Sale” is any interview which results in your obtaining all the necessary requirements to complete a sale: — signed application, premium payment, medical evidence arranged. 21
22 Are You Seeing3 People Per Day? “If you are not seeing 3 people per day, you haven’t earned the right to complain about the state of your financial circumstances.”
Always remember the basic premise of any sales endeavor:“You’ve Got to Kiss a Lot of Frogs to Meet a Prince.” That’s the job and you’ve got to kiss them Don’t try to substitute You can’t mail them a kiss You can’t stay in the office and wait for them to hop in and kiss you You can’t let advertising change them into princes You can’t ask your secretary to kiss them (he or she hasn’t got the stomach for it) It doesn’t take a lot of smooching to tell a prince from a frog You can’t change kissing styles every 30 days or spend all your time in Kissin’ School You’ve got to spend time with frogs and you’ll find them out there in the marshes Then, when you find one, you got to make contact Kissing is a contact sport -Source Unknown 23
CONTACTS At this point, when your prospect is ready to buy, you have a 90% chance of being called. You are probably the only person to make eight contacts with this prospect. You are building top-of-the-mind awareness (TOMA). Nurturing slowly, your prospect gets to know you and your company. Customer Relationship You are becoming a factor in the prospect’s mind. 89.9% of salespeople have given up by this point. 79.8% of salespeople have given up by this point. 65% of salespeople have given up by this point. 50% of salespeople give up.

  • 14. The Sales Pipeline* It’s in “Seeing the People” There is not a business going that does not depend on new people to see. Somehow someone must put names into the pipeline so that what comes out the other end are completed missions. Although there are multiple facets to operating any business, the entrepreneurial spirit would mean nothing without new prospects, and these mean less if no contact is made. The success of any business venture can be measured by the percentage of time spent face to face, and this time occurs only when someone asks for the meeting.

  • 25. Weekly Sales Success Formula Below, the Weekly Sales Success Formula is charted in the form of a funnel. On the left-hand side of the funnel, you will see “Guidelines” showing the suggested number of Suspects, New Contacts, Follow-up Contacts, Cases Opened, Closing, Sales and Commissions. On the line below the funnel, enter the average weekly amount of “Commissions” you wish to generate. Then develop, and fill in the lines down the right-hand side of the funnel, “Your Standards” — as required to generate the “Commissions” you set to achieve. “SUSPECT” - New people whom you plan to contact in the near future. You only have a “Suspect” when you know the name, address where to be contacted, phone number, occupation, approximate age, family status, hobbies, interests, etc. “NEW CONTACT” - A ‘New contact’ is when you have an appointment to speak to someone for the first time about one of the company’s products. “FOLLOW-UP CONTACT” - A second or subsequent interview, as part of the selling process, on any previously Opened Case. “NEW CASE OPENED” - A “Case” is “Opened” when you have had your first interview and decide to continue your negotiations. “CLOSE” - A “Close” consists of a face to face (not telephone) conversation during which you ask the prospect to take some positive action, such as signing the application, to be recorded whether the attempt was successful or unsuccessful. “SALE” - A “Sale” is any interview which results in your obtaining all the necessary requirements to complete a sale: — signed application, premium payment, medical evidence arranged. 21

  • 27. Always remember the basic premise of any sales endeavor:“You’ve Got to Kiss a Lot of Frogs to Meet a Prince.” That’s the job and you’ve got to kiss them Don’t try to substitute You can’t mail them a kiss You can’t stay in the office and wait for them to hop in and kiss you You can’t let advertising change them into princes You can’t ask your secretary to kiss them (he or she hasn’t got the stomach for it) It doesn’t take a lot of smooching to tell a prince from a frog You can’t change kissing styles every 30 days or spend all your time in Kissin’ School You’ve got to spend time with frogs and you’ll find them out there in the marshes Then, when you find one, you got to make contact Kissing is a contact sport -Source Unknown 23
  • 28. CONTACTS At this point, when your prospect is ready to buy, you have a 90% chance of being called. You are probably the only person to make eight contacts with this prospect. You are building top-of-the-mind awareness (TOMA). Nurturing slowly, your prospect gets to know you and your company. Customer Relationship You are becoming a factor in the prospect’s mind. 89.9% of salespeople have given up by this point. 79.8% of salespeople have given up by this point. 65% of salespeople have given up by this point. 50% of salespeople give up.

  • 40. JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC Prospecting Sales One Reason for Sales Slump The vast majority of salespeople experience sales slumps. The one reason why dry spells occur can be understood with the aid of this chart. Let’s say you start a job in January and spent a lot of time in prospecting, in fact, it took 90% of your time that month. Naturally, there is a time lag between your initial contact with your prospect and the confirmation of a sale. This is called the Sales Cycle, and generally, the higher the price, the longer is the sales cycle. As time goes by, sales increase. Your prospecting activities begin to pay off. You become more and more impressed with yourself. You’re making customers happy, your sales manager is thrilled and your bank account looks better all the time. But as your sales increase, you keep decreasing your sales activities because you think “I don’t need to prospect, I’m making sales?” Months later, you enter a dry spell but you can’t figure it out. The answer is simple, you have stopped prospecting. The prospecting groundwork you laid at the beginning of the year has already paid off, and the well of new business is starting to run dry. Sales slumps can be avoided by continually prospecting. One simple truth to remember in this business is that “if you stop planting, you stop reaping.”
