Episode 2 – How to Nurture your Pipeline to get more Sales Meetings

  • Posted by Alessandra Kaminski
  • On September 18, 2019

In episode two, we talk with Alison and Toni of BlueLion, LLC an HR consulting firm from New Hampshire, about different ways to get more meetings with potential clients.  We dive deep into various sales and marketing strategies to help lead potential clients down the sales funnel. We tackle how to work around being a reactive service and advise on how to provide value and education to help potential audiences be proactive with their human resource needs.

Guest Bio – [from their website] “BlueLion, LLC is a human resource and operations consulting company.

    The Challenge & The Next 3 Steps

    Alison and Toni do a great job of closing their prospective clients, but they’re struggling with getting a volume of sales meetings and are simply looking to have more meetings that lead to sales meetings.  In order to help them solve this roadblock, we created these next 3 steps to help them hit the ground running.

    1. List all of the solutions and tangible benefits that you provide to your clients.  Put yourself in your client’s shoes and write this list from their perspective – how does your solution benefit them directly?
    2. Using some of the solutions and language from step 1 – write a 1-2 min quick pitch video script that you can use to share with your referral networks and prospective clients. You can simply record this video using a tripod and a cell phone. And if you want to know how to up your game check out our course on “How to Write, Shoot, Edit and Share Videos for your Marketing”
    3. Audit your current marketing.  Set aside a few hours where you can do a formal SWOT Analysis on your website, social content, print marketing and any other forms of marketing that are currently being used.  Once you have a list of your weaknesses and threats, you can make a game plan to fix them.
