How Do You Qualify A Sales Prospect?



By Barrett Niehus http://www.freetrainer.com



Arguably, the most difficult part of the sales process is

locating and qualifying a sales lead. This difficulty is

compounded by gatekeepers, personal assistants, and all of those

individuals that stand between you and the potential decision

maker. However, through a few creative techniques, and by

involving the prospect early in the sales process, leads can be

qualified, prepared, and closed with little difficulty.



In order to qualify a prospect, you must have communication. In

many instances, your ability to establish communication is

hindered by the inability to directly contact your prospect.

prospects to make initial contact. Direct mail is extremely

useful, and can be used as highly effective information

gathering tool. A valuable method to leverage direct mail as a

qualifying tool is to create a feedback questionnaire. This can

either be presented as a general questionnaire, or as a

marketing survey. In order to get your prospect to respond,

offer an incentive for their completion and return of the

survey.



An effective example of this technique is to include a one

dollar bill, golf balls, or some other bit of marketing

paraphernalia with the survey. Anything that would make the

prospect feel guilty if they do not complete the form. The other

technique is to offer a free membership. Product, or tool when

the survey is returned.

Finally, the format of the questionnaire should be not appear to

be too invasive on the prospect's privacy. It should have

questions that can easily be answered, and create more interest

in your product. Remember, the intent of the survey is to

qualify the prospect, not uncover their deepest driving need.

Some of the most effective formats used present the

questionnaire as a marketing survey. Marketing surveys give the

prospect the impression that they are helping your company,

without giving information that could be used against them.
