The document provides guidance on using pain points when cold calling. It explains that pain points are problems, issues, or concerns that are not working well. Discussing a prospect's pain points can help get their attention and explain what products or services can help address those pain points. However, it can be difficult for sales reps to know what pain points to discuss or how to work them into a conversation. The document provides examples of common pain points around training sales reps and gives suggestions for how to structure a cold call discussion around identifying and addressing a prospect's pain points.
![Based on what you have shared, it might make sense to talk more because as I
mentioned, I am with [Company] and we provide a web-based app called
SalesScripter:
• Sales message builder
• Sales playbook
• CRM and email automation
Some ways we differ are:
• We are the only platform that helps salespeople know what to say and ask
• We are the only software platform that generates call scripts and email
templates
Some impacts from not doing anything in this area are:
• It can be difficult to teach sales reps what to say and ask when talking with
prospects
• It can often take a long time to get reps ramped up and producing sales
results
• It can be costly to have to let reps go due to sales performance
