How to Increase the Success Ratios of Your Prospecting Campaigns?

Want to boost your sales pipeline, but don’t exactly know where to start? Read these smart appointment setting tips and techniques for finding the right people and increasing your success ratio of appointments to calls.

We’re familiar with that “bait the hook to suit the fish” adage, which is perfectly fitting when it comes to prospecting, lead generation and appointment setting for clients. Like fishing, we need to be properly equipped with a string and a pole. But our preparation obviously doesn’t stop there. We’ve to know precisely what type of fish (the ideal client) we want to catch and the kind of bait they like.

Here are at least 5 Criteria we use at Live2Care when identifying our ideal customer:

1. Annual income of $50,000 to $90,000
2. Ages 25 to 45
3. Married
4. Living in one of the top 10 most affluent states in America
5. Has school-aged children

Without first determining crucial aspects of the people who you want to connect, your appointment setting goal will not likely pan out well. Conversely, when you have properly mapped out specific aspects of your marketing plan, everything will be a lot easier for you and your appointment setting team.

To get you started fast, go to your existing clients list, take from it your top five loyal customers, and then consider properly what they have in common. Make a list of them and try to see if you can add some more on the list. This way you will have your best answers to jumpstart your prospecting efforts.

Really do bait the hook to suit the fish

Know what they want, plain and simple. The more you know about your target consumers, the easier it would be to reach them, lure them to your business and move them to become buying customers. The best way to do that is to talk about them and certain problems they’re currently dealing with every day, and show them how to get what they want and offer a solution to their problem.

One of most effective ways to use when talking to a prospect is to stress on the benefits they can get. In other words, identify the value that your business provides to a prospected client, because that’s what will move them to action. And always go straight to what’s in it for them at an emotional level.
