Scott Ingram: You\u2019re listening to the Daily Sales Tips podcast and I\u2019m your host, Scott Ingram. Today Jason Bay is back and once again I think you\u2019ll quickly understand why I\u2019ve asked Jason to become a regular weekly contributor to the show. Here he is with today\u2019s tip:<\/p>\n
Jason Bay: So my wife Sarah and I, we run our business together, Blissful Prospecting and we’ve been married for about two years now. And one thing that as I’ve gotten to know her mom a little bit better so her mom lives in New Jersey, we live here in Austin, Texas. And Sarah actually grew up in New York. And one of the things that, like I said, as I’ve gotten to know her mom a little bit better is a little bit more about her philosophies around how she raised Sarah and why she is the way that she is. And one thing that she always talks about and always says is \u201cSeeing is believing.\u201d And it really stuck out to me. And when Sarah was young, they didn’t have like a ton of money like her parents are they immigrated from Korea when she was like one year old. So they didn’t have a lot of money living in a big city and they always had to do the hustle of running businesses and that sort of thing. But one thing that Sarah’s mom always made sure to do with Sarah was take her to museums because museums were free. They really sacrificed a lot to make sure that they would go into the city and let her experience what it’s like seeing all the big buildings and interacting with all the people. And one really important thing that they did is they really invested heavily in her education and they ended up moving to, say if you could imagine queens, if you’re from New York to Westchester, it’s a, it’s a complete one 80 you know, moving from place that you know is not necessarily low income but does have a lot of low-income families and schooling and that sort of thing to one of the most wealthiest places in the United States and Westchester and Sarah’s family wasn’t super-wealthy at this time, but they made the sacrifice for education because Sarah’s mom wanted her to go to school with some of the smartest kids out there and people that were kids of really successful parents. People that worked on Wall Street and had multimillion-dollar homes and like all that crazy sort of stuff. So how does this relate to prospecting? So this whole concept of seeing and believing is really relevant because a lot of the ways that we interact with our prospects are not really very visual ways. You know, we send a text-based email or we make a phone call and leave a voicemail. At no point does the prospect really ever get to see and believe what you can help them accomplish and the change are the problems that you can help them overcome. So the reason why this is important is we don’t ever paint a before and after picture unless you can visually show someone what that looks like and it makes it real to them. So here’s some of the things that you can do. One is you can send a video, so I use this a lot when I’m personally prospecting. We do this a lot for our clients. You can send us 30 to 60-second video to someone. And now they’ve been able to see a person that is attached to this email or these voicemails or these phone calls they’ve been making. It makes it more real. They can empathize with you and that sort of thing. So just sending a quick introductory video and talking about, why you’re reaching out as a great way of doing this. Another one is through a case study. So you know, if you’re listening to this and you work in a big company, you might not have a lot of choices over the case studies and what you guys use. But my recommendation is if you can work with marketing and even if you get a one or two-page case study that shows a before and after something very visual or it could be as short as 30 to 60-second video that you guys make. Like, paint a really clear picture of what life looked like before for that company that you worked with and that person specifically that you dealt lists. And then what the after was, what was the problem, what was the solution, how did you help them, et cetera. That’s another way that you can show people so they can see and believe what you’re doing. And lastly, I’ve seen this work really low as SAAS companies especially. So if you have a product that you can demo, you could record a 30 to 60 seconds short screen share of you showing a specific feature and you can customize this for the prospect. You can say \u201cHey, you know, I wanted to show you something really quick that I think would be really applicable for you.\u201d You show it to them in 30 60 seconds. Maybe it’s a specific feature or something like that. And then the call to action could be, hey, if this was helpful, let me know. I’m happy to send them another video to you. And that could be the call to action so that you can get a conversation started with these videos. So hopefully that gives you some ideas. But remember that a lot of the interaction that we have with prospects is not in a visual way. And what they’re really, really struggling with is seeing exactly how you can help them so they can believe that you’re a person or you’re a company that might be able to help them solve their problems.<\/p>\n
