Is it an existing customer or someone who you\u2019ve chatted with before?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>where<\/span><\/i> prompts you to think about where the person is in the sales process. Are they a customer looking to expand? Is this the first vendor they\u2019ve talked to and they\u2019re still exploring other options?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>what<\/span><\/i> is your trigger to take action. Perhaps the site visitor is talking to the bot or browsing your pricing page. Maybe they have downloaded an ebook or completed a certification. Along with what the buyer is doing, you need to think about what you are going to do next.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>why <\/span><\/i>is the outcome of the <\/span>who, where, and what<\/span><\/i>. Here, you\u2019ll uncover two things. First, why has the buyer contacted you? Maybe it\u2019s to compare you to a competitor or learn more about how your solution can help solve their current challenges. Second, why are <\/span>you<\/span><\/i> engaging with them? Are you trying to expand an existing account or trying to book a new meeting?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With this formula, your outreach will help you stand out to your buyers, as you build credibility and deliver a five star experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Conversational Sales Formula we reviewed above helps you study your buyer, and unpack who they are and their intent behind any given conversation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In short, it helps get the conversation started. But to keep it going, you\u2019ll need a framework.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Our <\/span>Conversational Framework<\/span><\/a> will help you focus on what matters to buyers and move them through the sales process faster with a better buying experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There are only three steps you need to remember:<\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s break down the three elements of the Conversational Sales Framework:<\/p>\n Engage: Connect and Respond<\/b><\/p>\n Conversational Sales means engaging with buyers on <\/span>their<\/span><\/i> terms \u2014 their channel, their schedule, and their goals. Your interactions aren\u2019t pushy sales pitches. Instead, you\u2019re having helpful, authentic, and proactive conversations. You\u2019re listening to what your buyers need and responding thoughtfully. It\u2019s a genuine interaction.<\/span><\/p>\n By engaging your buyers when their attention and intent are the highest, you maximize engagement and grow your pipeline.<\/span><\/p>\n Understand: Qualify and Influence<\/b><\/p>\n Conversational Sales relieves the burden on your sales team. Use automated bots and workflows to understand your buyers. Ask questions, use intent signals, and tap into other data sources to understand what each buyer cares about.<\/span><\/p>\n This framework is actually a <\/span>two-way<\/span><\/i> conversation. The days of sellers lecturing buyers are long gone. Sellers still have to explain their solutions, showcase services, and demo products, but buyers need time and space to ask their own questions. They must deepen their understanding and broaden their perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n As the conversation unfolds, you\u2019ll know who is ready for a sales conversation. When the time is right, your sales reps can drop in. Then, they can captain the conversation, directing the discussion and influencing the buyer\u2019s decision.<\/span><\/p>\n Recommend: Drive and Persuade\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Once sales reps connect their calendars, you can automatically book meetings for qualified buyers directly within the conversation. Your sales team will appreciate waking up to calendars full of high-quality meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n But meetings, demos, and sales are just three possible outcomes.
