Here are the highlights of this episode:
2:19 Angelique’s ideal Client: CEOs and Owners of service-based businesses that want more corporate customers that stay with them longer.
2:36 Problem Angelique helps solve: When you're trying to win corporate customers or clients there are three problems; you don't have enough decision makers to talk to, they do not want to talk to you and when you are talking to them, you are having the wrong conversations. You're alienating them and talking to them like sales people vs the humans that they are. So those are the three problems that we solve. Having not enough decision makers to talk to, getting them to actually want to talk to you and having the right conversations when you win those coveted meetings.
3:19 Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Angelique: The biggest thing that we see is that folks are out there doing a lot of marketing these days but those marketing efforts isn't actually landing them the meetings, or their sales team gets that meeting and it doesn't go anywhere. At the end of the day, it's actually pretty easy these days to get visibility. Visibility is the easy part of it, it's what you will do once you get that visibility. Why isn't it converting into conversations that go anywhere or they're having great conversation that are bringing 'zero' revenue. Those are typically what's coming up for people.
4:11 What are some of the common mistakes that folks make before finding Angelique and her solution: Well, it's a big difference if you're trying to get into it all by yourself as a solo expert or consultant vs a more established company. But I know who your audience is, so I'll take the ladder for that question. One of the big problems is that people don't understand what tool, tactic, or strategy they should be using at any given time. They're constantly misreading where they are in the relationship with the organization. They might be trying to sell when actually they're not even at a point of knowing what the problem is. So now they're poking the decision makers with the stick asking "does that hurt? Well how about that, does that hurt.. or maybe this hurt so now, maybe we can sell you over here.. ". And almost all of the strategies that are taught in sales training or sales skills & development, all of it is actually designed to alienate the decision maker. And so, it doesn't work at all. And they're using the wrong tool at the wrong time and they're pushing the decision makers to actually want to avoid them in the future instead of picking up the phone when they call.
