What Is Lazy Prospecting?
What exactly is lazy prospecting? In the episode, Donald explains it’s making a phone call without researching the prospect.
When prospecting, you should do your prep work. This involves seeing who else works in the organization and looking at the individual’s LinkedIn profile.
However, most sellers take this time to scroll through their phones, hoping for the best. Donald explains how most sales representatives become lazy prospectors without realizing it.
LinkedIn Profile
Before making a phone call, review the prospect's LinkedIn profile. Scroll through to see their achievements, recent work events, or posts they’re engaging in.
Donald shares how you can use this information during a phone conversation with your prospects.
Hint: Use LinkedIn Sales Navigator during your research!
Multi-Threading in Sales
Speaking of Sales Navigator, it’s the ideal tool for multi-threading. Use it to find someone within our prospect’s organization you can engage with and talk to on LinkedIn.
Donald shares how to multi-thread within the episode correctly to help you connect with your prospects and close a deal.
