187 (Sell) How to Tear Up Your Territory to Kickoff 2024 (Luke Floyd @ Deel)

Register for the Tactic Teardown on how to beat any objection in a cold call. FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Use “That’s exactly why I called.” When your prospect shares a problem or a priority that they have, make that your reason for booking a meeting and go right in for the close on the cold call. Call nine before nine, and five after five. Those early morning and evening dials can be some of the best ways to increase your connect rate with hard-to-reach prospects. After your opener, go through the parts of your pitch, but end with an open-ended question. You can either go into “That’s why we should meet” if they give you those three priorities or roll with the objection - “Let me tell you how we work alongside and supplement a recruiter.” PATH TO PRESIDENT’S CLUB Senior Business Development Manager @ Pareto Senior Account Executive @ Pareto Account Executive @ Pareto Business Development Representative @ Pareto RESOURCES DISCUSSED Join our weekly newsletter Things you can steal

Four Actionable Takeaways:  * Use an UFC at the beginning of your meeting to anchor customers to next steps at the end. * Use an UFC at the end of your meeting to anchor to outcomes of the following meeting. * Demonstrate active listening and credibility by pausing to dig in deeper when uncovering a truth. * When surprised by a hard stop...establish an even shorter stop to figure out if the time is even needed.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS: Pre-research your subject for a more personalized cold call that makes the interaction intentional and human. It tells them you’ve taken the time to get to know them. Use a permission-based opener to make your prospect feel like they are choosing to speak with you. Deliver your opener with conviction, and bring energy and enthusiasm. Build this as you pre-research because if you believe it, they’ll be more likely to believe it. Execute a 3YU, aka 3 reasons that you are calling that are personal to them, and opens the door for WHY they would want to use your product.

FOUR ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS Don't shy away from including images in your prospecting emails, particularly if you sell a visual solution. Add value with a “thinking of you” email in advance of your sales call that shows some examples of what some of their peers are doing with you or what other similar customers are doing. When you open your email using a trigger-based approach, state your observation confidently and then follow it up with an unsure tone question. Example is: “Here's what I've seen your ads look like. Have you ever tried to do X? Use intentionally boring subject lines, like “Podcast Episode” that follow the “internal camouflage” principle.

FOUR ACTIONABLE LEADERSHIP TAKEAWAYS Cut books by ICP and ARR opportunity — don’t force GEO territories if your ICP is clustered within a few major regions. Pre-carve books for reps to-be-hired and let your current reps squat in the territories until they’re on board. A nickname for a holdover opportunity is a slipped opportunity. Have a policy limiting the holdovers and allow for exceptions based on what’s best for the customer. Your team will remember how you treated them in the magic moments: promotions, 1st and last days, maternity leave, a loss in the family.

The way that you should present the success criteria is to figure out what matters to your customer. Break your accounts and prospects into high-usage and low-usage groups. Coach up your low-usage team, and just ask your high-usage group “How can we get this into the hands of other people.” Consolidate your bill for people in different departments and consolidate the team for prospects in the same department.
