Did you know?
In a 2019 survey by sales strategist Marc Wayshak, the salespeople surveyed reported:
- 66.7% had reached out to fewer than 250 prospects in the past year
- Only 15% reached out to more than 1,000 prospects in that time period
- 54% said it is “harder” or “much harder” to get in front of prospects than five years ago
Those are some sobering statistics.
What does this mean for your business?
- Your salespeople must reach out to MORE prospects than ever – just to get the SAME results.
- Your salespeople are probably not getting in front of ENOUGH prospects to meet their goals.
- Your sales team’s success is directly related to their access to MORE decision maker contacts within your target market!
Let’s begin with this simple question: How many Corporate Training & HR decision maker contacts do you have in your database?
Now, how many SHOULD you have? I.e. How many “targeted eyeballs” must you reach with your message this year to achieve your sales goals?
It is clear that you must get your message in front of plenty of prospects just to achieve the same results you’ve always had. This means that to GROW sales, you’ll need even more prospects than ever before!
HOW MANY?
Let’s take a simple example – assume:
- It will take 100 sales to achieve your 2019 goal (A)
- You need to reach 25 (targeted) people to get one qualified prospect (B)
- You need 10 prospects to make one sale (C)
- This means you’ll need to reach 25,000 people to make 100 sales! (A x B x C)
That’s a lot of people!
You will need a plan to get in front of that many “eyeballs.” And, while you may think you are “hitting enough eyeballs” by sending out a mass email to your in-house database OR an inexpensive list, what if the list data you are using has a 50% error rate?
Consider this example: An e-learning customer used the Mentor Tech Group database in conjunction with their own in-house list to deliver a marketing email to a total of 5266 contacts. The source of these contacts broke down as follows:
- 566 contacts came from Mentor Tech Group’s market intelligence database
- 4700 contacts came from their in-house database
Within 48 hours, they had received the following results:
- 99 “opens” on Mentor Tech Group’s 566 contacts
- Only 31 “opens” on their 4700 contacts
Why? Well, it is likely that their in-house database was filled with outdated information for people who are not even real DECISION MAKERS.
While we certainly can’t promise results like this example, it clearly demonstrates the difference:
- That’s more than a 17 percent response rate using the MTG data, versus only .5 percent response using the client’s in-house data.
In every case we’ve seen, without exception, a company’s in-house database is not nearly as good as they think it is – and it is usually in dire need of being scrubbed, scrapped or replaced!
