Editor's Notes
- #5: Now I would like to give you a number of ideas for improving your marketing skills and some opportunities to learn from others, but First Things First. We need value propositions. We need to decide which areas and business drivers we help customers with and how we help them.
- #6: We have a problem that needs to be addressed. Our website and our main catalog are a glorified product list = a catalog. After listening to SNAP selling, I really starting thinking about these 2 key pieces. To be brutally honest, their content is nothing more than a sea of ME TOO.So, I need some help and some ideas on getting our value propositions to the forefront of these pieces.
- #7: So what are the business objectives that we can solve?What I’d like to do is to create some value propositions on some of these topics?Why these topics? Because we already market to these topics and it is a good place to start.
- #10: We need to get these stories recorded! Every person in here has sold a job with a metric attached to it. We need to start talking about that metric. I have no idea what those metrics are, but we all need to start paying attention.
- #11: We need to get these stories recorded! Every person in here has sold a job with a metric attached to it. We need to start talking about that metric. I have no idea what those metrics are, but we all need to start paying attention.
- #12: Without good value propositions to set us apart from our competitors – we are just a ME TOO company.We do sanitary conveyors – we do that…We do changeover options – we do that…And on and on…
- #14: So let’s start with communications. Using the methods in SNAP selling. The phone call or email needs to be simple, relevant, aligned and urgent.This one is kind of a funny example, but while it is simple, it is not aligned or relevant.
- #21: Send me either an old or a newly created email… I’m going to give it the snap test. We’ll talk about it at the sales meeting.
- #23: Nercon’s email marketing news and open rates are 20%.
- #24: What would you say is the open rate of your email to a customer?Nercon’s mass email marketing news open rates are 20%. 2 out of 10 customers are getting Nercon’s “mass” email messages via the email campaigns. That’s why we have to reach them in other ways, LinkedIn, Twitter, blogs…Then maybe we pick up a few more – maybe 3 or 4 out of 10 customers are getting Nercon’s messages.Why don’t you help Nercon and help yourself and send personal invites to customers for events…we have at least 3 per year – sometimes more???
- #25: Does everyone know how to do this?
- #26: We had a nice full page photo and story on the Dairy Industry in PMT magazine in June – did anyone share this with their ice cream customers?
- #27: Promote yourself and comment on a post. Our Linkedin activity is down. We switched to postings on Tuesday, which has helped, but work this resource.Are you adding 5 contacts per month? Are you active in LinkedIn?
- #28: We had a nice full page photo and story on the Dairy Industry in PMT magazine in June – did anyone share this with their ice cream customers?
- #29: We had a nice full page photo and story on the Dairy Industry in PMT magazine in June – did anyone share this with their ice cream customers?
- #30: Who has personally invited their customer to the webinar?You all have the extra changeover issue newsletters. Are you handing those out and inviting your customers?
- #33: Also at the sales meeting, I want to talk a bit about bringing our Powerpoint slides up to SNAP code.Keeping them simple, but flexible depending on the conversation.Make sure that they align with the customer’s business objectives.Do we have a value message clear in these Powerpoints?
