How to do good sales prospecting in MLM?



People who are interested in sales are often good at talking the right prospects into their sales cycle; finding them has always been the hardest part.

By sales prospecting lifecycle, we mean that very moment the thought of finding a prospect strikes a distributor.

And what happens next? Let’s analyze.

What is sales prospecting?

Simply put, it is the process of finding possible opportunities from your lead source that could be converted into customers with various nurturing strategies. It is an artistic process of finding the right leads and successfully establishing a trust-based relationship for longer customer retention.

Role of sales prospecting in the sales process

Sales prospecting is the first step in the sales process. So, make the first impression the best because this process is sure to have a long-standing impact on your brand.

Creates brand awareness

Sales prospecting builds a unique brand image in the minds of potential customers. Distributors must be trained to deliver this uniqueness to your prospects.

Generates interest in products or services

Well-informed distributors can juggle the features and benefits of your products to suit your prospects’ interests. This generated interest can be leveraged to take them to the next level in the sales pipeline.

Gathers quality data

Every golden opportunity wouldn’t convert to sales. Sales prospecting helps distributors analyze data from the lead pool and use it to run market research and gather insights beneficial to their future business.

Establish your sales prospecting in 3 easy steps

Prospecting begins with identifying the right leads. You cannot randomly pick from your lead source and try converting them. That would never work. You need to have a clear action plan on how to satisfy your prospects' demands and win them over.

1. Develop a contact strategy


Segmenting through lead scoring and other visitors' website behavior analysis will help you in this decision-making process to a great extent. Analyzing the existing customer personas will also help you in identifying reliable opportunities from your lead base. Once the segmentation is done it is easier to prioritize the opportunities, focus on the time, and customize the approach by walking them slowly and steadily into the buying process.

2. Develop your approach


Deliver an approach accommodating your prospects’ needs and demands. Prioritize their priorities and move along their buying process attending to their needs.

While technology helps in segmentation, you can also work parallelly on your intuitions to pick the right leads to focus.


Share your thoughts on your prospect's needs but never on a sales pitch.

 

  • Analyze who is actively listening and focus on them.

  • When you talk to them, share not about yourself or your experiences but leverage your experience to enhance their experience.

  • Listen to them immensely; their needs, demands, and concerns.

  • Once you have their consent, deliver your unique value proposition.

3. Develop a steady prospect relationship

Once you connect and establish a successful relationship with your prospect, whether they convert to a customer or not, you need to nurture that relationship, at constant intervals. This is a contingent process but contributes highly to the lifetime value of your customers.


Give them an enhanced experience in intervals to make them realize you are always there for them.

  • Gather a thorough understanding of your customer preferences like the type of products, how often and when they like to be contacted, communication medium, etc.

  • Sending them new offers, including them in product launches, sharing insights on products, etc would immensely add up to their trust and loyalty.

  • Seek reviews regularly and assess your prospect or customer experience and decide what needs improvement. They are undoubtedly the greatest source of genuine feedback.


Conclusions-


Sales prospecting is never a one-time event, it is an eternal process that decides the strength of your brand’s foundation. What we need to understand and underline is that, in sales prospecting, establishing trust-based relationships counts, the right approach counts, and all the more, reaching out to the right prospect counts. Distributors must focus on these elements to make the most out of their prospecting efforts.
