Gaby Awad - “Buying Customers”

Episode: 2020 Season Recap

Introduction

My name is Gaby Awad AKA The Coach on Wheels (you have to watch my YouTube channel to know why 😉), and I am your host for the BUYING CUSTOMERS radio show 🔥🔥🔥

It would be awesome if I could hear from you in real time during the show. If you’re listening live or to one of the recordings, you can always connect and interact with us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter at IBGRNetwork.


 
How many of you have a written business plan for the next 3 years? How many of you have a written action plan for the next 90-days? 

You see 2020 was a special year and we learned a lot from it. We learned that business disruption is a must in this new normal kind of days we live in and any business that is not ready to disrupt, change, and adapt will not surely thrive in 2021.

This season we talked about:

  1. Streetwise client acquisition and lifetime value 
  2. The 7 ways to improve sales and profit
  3. Lead generation and nurturing 
  4. Engagement and asking the right questions in sales
  5. Value First in Sales 
  6. Sales Objections and how to anticipate them 
  7. Networking with an intention to help

If you missed any of the episodes you can still listen to the podcasts. Just go to goodsession.me and enroll in Buying Customers course. It’s for free. Or visit IBGR.Network or subscribe to the podcast show on apple podcasts, android podcasts, amazon music, or Deezer.

Streetwise client acquisition and lifetime value 

Client acquisition is a dear subject to me. Actually the show name is buying customers and the whole concept of farming for customers and not hunting is a mindset shift that all sales and marketing professionals should adopt. 

Marketing is not advertising. It starts well before the first purchase and continues well after the last sale

See marketing is not an Expense… it is rather an Investment… for every dollar spent, many dollars should come in. 

So to improve the score in marketing we have to first keep the score. The most important scores in marketing are 1. Acquisition cost… and 2.    Lifetime Value… 

If you place an ad and it cost you $1,000 and you have converted 10 clients as a result then your ad acquisition cost is $100 per client. If a customer spends $550 a year for 6 years, that's $3,300 of lifetime value. In this case a $100 dollar investment in advertising retuned $3,300. See this is why marketing is and investment… not an expense!

Marketing should be integrated marketing. I tell my clients that marketing is a temple and you should have at least 10 pillars holding this temple… So the rule of 10x10 says… allocate 10% of lead generation for every marketing strategy or pillar and the result is a 100%

Pillars could be: Direct mail, speaking engagements, networking, social media, print, media, broad media… strategic alliances, workshops and seminars, digital funnels, … etc.

Marketing is creating a DIFFERENCE or NICHE… to me it is not about ‘we are the first’ … it is about we are ‘different’ that will open doors and wallets for you!

NICE= NO PRICE COMPETITION

I cannot stress the importance of your Unique Selling Proposition. Add it to your 90-day action plan, work it out, find it, and let the world know about it.

7 Ways to Improve Sales and Profit

Another dear topic to my heart and a clear chartered roadmap to improve your sales figure, revenue and profit. 

To build yourself a bigger or better business you need to find the money to invest in the business. To find the money there are 7 areas that you should be concerned with… I call those the “7 Ways”, and massive results are possible by achieving only small improvements in each of these areas...

  1. Your pipeline- your database of target niche
  2. Your Take-up %— multiplying both pipeline and take-up % will give you LEADS or how many potential clients do you attract?
  3. Conversion Rate—how many leads do you convert into clients?
  4. Frequency of purchase—how many times a year do your clients buy?
  5. Average value of Sale—how much do they spend each time they buy?
  6. Cost of Sales or direct cost %, and 
  7. Overhead %

Find the strategies and tactics to improve every area of the 7 ways and add them to your 90-day action plan. 

While at it, don’t come up with things like we want to bring more clients, have more sales, or increase our profitability. Clients, sales, and profit are results of you doing things. So these are the outcomes and not the activities themselves that will lead you to achieving these outcomes. 

Now imagine the framework like a series of multiplication (and this is where the compounded effect magically fits in) … small improvements on each area multiply… a 10% increase across the board might have an 80% increase in profit… you know due to the compounded effect.

Lead Generation and Nurturing

Many times during my first weeks on a coaching I ask my clients do you keep a database of your target market? And then I ask do you test and measure the number of leads you generate in a year? 

90% of the time the answer comes: “NO” to both questions.

  1. A lead is a suspect buyer that fits your target market
  2. You have collected their information, and
  3. There is an interest to buy from you (a meeting was held, a quotation was sent, social media engagement, etc.)

Let’s say we have identified our niche market to be around 100,000 suspects. How we tell them we exist and that we have the solutions to their buying needs? How we nurture those needs and show the benefits of our products and services is in the core of their buying journey. 


To nurture leads we discussed previously on the show some example strategies like:

Use Giveaways to add value
Referrals
Find a Partner for Host/Beneficiary 
Strategic Alliance
“Unique Selling Points” or USP’s
Video Testimonials
Guarantees
Offering Samples or Demonstrations – “I call this try before your buy”


Engagement and asking the right questions in sales

Before we dig deeper into the power of asking questions let’s step back and think of the new role of the sales person. Since people hate to be sold but they like to buy, in this case the new role of the sales person is to PROFESSIONALLY HELP PEOPLE DECIDE WHAT TO BUY

The best weapon for the Problem Solver is asking powerful questions. 

There is a process to asking questions: 

First: you ask questions to build rapport e.g. “where do you kids go to soccer school?”
Second you ask questions to establish credibility: “what do you know about executive coaching?” 
Third, you ask questions to draw picture: “What does a 61% increase in profit mean to your business?”
Fourth, you ask questions to build emotions: “How are you managing your cash flow gap at the moment?”

To come up with powerful questions:

  • Write your questions down… dozens of them!
  • Practice them…
  • Discover which ones work by using them with real prospects
  • Scrap the bad ones
  • Improve the good ones
  • Refine them
  • Perfect them until you find your best

Three powerful questions I always ask in my coach on deck meeting: 

  1. How much is one new customer worth?
  2. How much is one new business friend or relationship worth?
  3. If we found US$ 30,000 in 90-days, what would you do with this money?

VALUE FIRST IN SALES

Your clients want to visualize the VALUE they’ll receive. It’s your job to do this by using your imagination and by being prepared.

As a coach who is always working on upping my coaching game, I work on improving my offering, like I invested in good lighting since I am doing all my coaching now on Zoom, and I have invested also in learning how to broadcast using OBS using a professional mirrorless camera. I am not your average coach sitting behind his webcam or even worse, don’t want to use technology and prefers not to learn. My value is I learn and I evolve to give the best every time. 

20 years ago it was a challenge to find people and meet with them physically In today’s world, both face-to-face, and online must be managed. 

But most salespeople, marketing people, most C level people misunderstand and issue the word VALUE.

Today, we are converting the world PRICE to the word VALUE FIRST in your mind and then in your actions and lexicon. It’s about the value of your product or service, the value of your response, the value of your reputation and it’s about the value you bring to the table. The value of YOU!

Things you must understand to stop losing on price, and start winning on value:

  1. Stop thinking of yourself as a commodity, service, or product. Let’s get one thing straight before we go any further. Not everyone will buy on value. 30-40% will buy on price. That’s the bad news. The good news is that 60 to 70% of all customers will buy value if you provide it to them. 
  2. Take the last 10 sales you made and try to discover how the sales was completed.
  3. Don’t focus on the sale, focus on the lifetime use of the product or service. 
  4. Start your sales call at a higher level. Shoot for the highest point of entry. 
  5. Start focusing on relationship opportunities instead of bidding opportunities. Give that bid to your competitor…
  6. Start building your reputation as a person and provider of value. 

Do you have a reputation of delivering value? 

THE MORE YOU START OUT WITH VALUE, THE EASIER IT IS TO WIN MORE SALES AT A HIGHER PRICE!

Think about this:

  • When you are in a sales presentation you know everything about you and you are prepared to close…
  • But what makes you different from the competition?
  • Imagine your IDEAS are the unique values no one can provide…
  • You are thinking of and recommending solutions that the customer wasn’t thinking about
  • Ideas that makes you a respected hero rather than a salesperson

You have to really put yourself in their shoes and try to come up with valuable solution options to their problems.

You value is expressed in terms of you. So,

  • Provide the customer value through great ideas
  • Create something unique and memorable
  • Ideas come from observing, listening, and asking questions
  • Good ideas will come; the idea is to keep trying

Sales Objections and how to anticipate them

Every prospect you speak to has sales objections or reasons they're hesitant to buy your product. Sales objections are bound to happen and they are unavoidable.

Every sales has 5 basic obstacles: 

  1. No need
  2. No money
  3. No hurry
  4. No desire
  5. No trust

Objection handling is when a prospect presents a concern about the product/service you are selling, and you responds in a way that alleviates those concerns and allows the sale to move forward. Objections are usually around price, product fit, competitors, not the time, or the good old “no perceived value YET!”.

When can you guarantee objections? Well, when:

  • You have not completely qualified the buyer
  • They are not the real decider
  • They cannot afford it
  • Their need / interest level is too low
  • You did not establish rapport
  • You did not establish trust
  • You did not find the prospect's hot buttons
  • Your presentation was weak, or
  • You did not anticipated objections and overcome them before the prospect could raise them

The best way to overcome objections is being prepared. A systematic approach to handling objections goes like this:

  1. Listen
  2. Ask 
  3. Solve
  4. Confirm 
  5. Move on

The cure is: PREVENTION. Prevent objections by discussing them before the prospect has a chance to voice them.

If you can overcome and objection in your presentation before the prospect raises it, you are more likely to make the sale…
ANTICIPATION = PREVENTION
It just takes preparation and practice. It takes time, creativity and focus to make the sale happen.

Prepare by anticipating objections to your presentation… Data and testimonials are great objection preventers.

WHAT ARE THE COMMON OBJECTIONS?

  • I want to think it over
  • I want to check with more suppliers
  • Your price is too high
  • I want to talk it over with my partner
  • I am satisfied with my present supplier
  • We spent our entire budget for the year
  • Get back to me in six months

Sometimes they are true but the key is in:

  • Your knowledge in your product 
  • Your knowledge in your prospect
  • The relationship you have with your prospect
  • Your creativity
  • Your attitude
  • Your sincere desire to help your prospect, and
  • Your persistence

None of these have to do with price… some of these may relate to cost… all of these have to do with value.

The important keys are: your creativity, your attitude, and your persistence. Price is NOT a barrier, if you provide value…

Networking with the Intention to Help

Getting back to the first seconds of networking and what should you do or say, I cannot stress enough the need to establishing and building rapport.

Networking and connecting has a secret power. But fist let’s list the biggest networking mistakes or pitfalls:

  • I know all people at the event – they won’t buy…
  • The event does not fit my target market…
  • I don’t need networking – I have lot of connections…
  • I have better things to do then networking…
  • It is not an effective lead generation technique…

The TRUTH is:
 
  • Anyone you meet is a connection
  • Don’t pre-judge others
  • Have an open mind… (Open Mind = Open Wallet)

When you network, do not go with the intention to sell… rather go with the intention to help and sales will follow. But first you have to like to serve, like to help, like people, and like to network. 

Anyone you meet is a potential connection. Whether formal, business, referred… don’t pre-judge others. This is the biggest pitfall of networking.

Bob Burg said: “All things being equal, people will do business with, and refer business to, those people they know, like, and trust”

This is the true power of connection and business friendship. Being friendly is a key to your success that cannot be measured.

During a networking event, meeting, or social activity, it takes creativity and action for people to memorize you. Personalize the event to improve your WOW factor…

Make it intentional to WOW more people…
They become walking billboards… Raving fans… They will do the selling for you

WOW = Word of mouth advertising = Repeat business

Everyone I give it to will show it to somebody else. See WOW factor….

Networking does not end after the event itself but should be nurtured along the way

Staying in touch is very important so they will remember you tomorrow when life happens…

In summary: communicate VALUE to every person every week.

You might say “I know now the importance of networking but I don’t know where to start networking in”

Make a list of the places to network. Find the link to these places to deepen the connection; you know passion, places you’ve been to, places you grew up in, etc.

For me the best places that work for me are:

  1. Business Events
  2. Business Organizations
  3. Civic Organizations
  4. Trade Associations
  5. Cultural Events
  6. Charity / Community Volunteering
  7. Private Clubs
  8. Lunch and Outings
  9. Health Club / Gym
  10. Parent of your children friends
  11. Meals with prospects

Go where your prospects and customers go or are likely to be found.


Let’s wrap up…

Remember that you should work ON your business and not only IN your business… Working ON your business means you are strategizing, planning, and implementing ideas to acquire customers and to increase their lifetime value. 

But it all starts with knowing who you want to serve in business, who is your target market, who you want to deal with, then design the marketing campaign that talk their language and answers their needs and passions. 

Test and measure everything from take up %, number of leads, conversion rate, number of transactions, average $ sale, acquisition cost, lifetime value, etc. If you don’t keep the score you won’t be able to improve the score of your business game…

As an action plan for the next 90-days, consider:

  • Identifying / refining your Target Market
  • Ways to find YOUR Uniqueness and to let everyone talk about it
  • Your 10x10 Marketing Plan with Test & Measure templates
  • Identifying / refining your 7 Ways strategies and tactics to increase profits
  • Come up with 3 to 5 strategies for every area of the 7 ways
  • Write your powerful sales questions down… dozens of them! Practice them…Refine them and Perfect them until you find your best
  • When building and showing your value, invest time knowing your customer needs… focus on how you can make them win, profit, benefit, how you can make them improve their service, retain their employees, etc. if you are in doubt ask them… Focus on them and their business / individual requirements. Build relationships with them. Know what are their dangers, obstacles, barriers? What frustrates them? 
  • When working with objections, List of all possible objections. Keep a list and keep on adding to it… Meet with your team regularly and try to group all objections under categories; like need, money, time, desire, trust, etc. Discuss and rate the most common first, then work on the top 20% that are responsible for the 80% not leading to a sale…You might be facing these every day in your business.
  • While networking, prepare and plan for networking places and people you would like to meet, participate at maximum level, and practice your commercial.
