Is sales a science?
Chris Smith thinks so. In fact, the idea that there’s a formula for better sales is the basis of his bestselling book, The Conversion Code. In this podcast, Chris talks about his strategies to bridge the gap between marketing and sales for consistently successful conversions and every company’s objective: increased revenue.
As the co-founder of Curaytor, a digital marketing company that specializes in real estate, Chris has firsthand experience with common marketing problems, and he’s worked until he found ways to solve those problems by building teams around the science of sales.
The method is pretty simple.
- Catch quality leads.
- Turning quality leads into quality appointments.
- Turn those quality appointments into sales.
In the book, Chris goes into detail about how to do just that with each step of the process. The best content generates meaningful leads. A sales team with the right outlook turns those leads into real conversations. By hiring employees with an encompassing enthusiasm and positive outlook, sales becomes more natural, owning those quality appointments (usually in the form of a well-timed phone call) happens more seamlessly, and generating solid leads becomes a consistent process of growth.
You’ll Learn About:
- The Black Lab Mindset, an essential outlook for every member of your sales team
- The importance of content that generates both awareness and sales
- Ways to facilitate quality appointments (when to make the phone calls, and how tenacious to be about calling your leads)
- How to equalize the tension between your Marketing and Sales departments
