As the movie “Predator” illustrates, hunting for customer leads is an art. In order to suss out some vulnerable prey and close the deal, you must know how their feet smell, which sounds they like, and what makes them run (or in this case stand still). The same is true of your own sales process. If you’re hunting for leads, here are some insights from one of Hollywood’s most famous predators.
Focus on the customer’s pain point
The first thing to know about hunting for leads is to focus on your customer’s pain point. What is it about your product or service that helps your customer achieve their goals? What is it about your product or service that your customer wants? The best way to find out what your customers need is to ask them. Get into face-to-face communication wherever you can, and ask your customers to tell you what their pain points are. Understanding your customers’ pain points will help you identify leads and focus your efforts on helping your customers accomplish their goals. Finding your customers’ pain points will also help you identify potential customers who are in need of your product. Asking your customers what they need will help you identify who you can help.
Be aware of your surroundings
You can’t hunt for leads if you’re not aware of your surroundings. Pay attention to your customers and their needs, but also pay attention to your environment. What are your customers wearing? Are they at their desk or their car? What kind of environment are they in? What mood are they in? Is it a good day or a bad day? Know what your customers are like and what they’re like when interacting with you. Identify and capitalize on your customers’ moods. Knowing your customers’ personalities will help you tailor your communication and create a stronger connection with your customers.
Don’t take yourself too seriously
No matter how hard you try, you can’t be too serious. Of course you have to be serious, but you don’t have to take yourself too seriously. No matter what industry you’re in, your customers are human too. You don’t have to be climbing Mt. Everest if your customers are sitting on the couch. Don’t take yourself too seriously, but take your customers seriously. Your customers need to see that you have respect for them and their time. Make sure your interactions with your customers are professional and courteous, but don’t be afraid to have some fun while you’re at it.
Build strong relationships
Any predator worth their salt knows that you build strong relationships by building connections first. Start the relationship by taking the time to get to know your customers. What are their needs? What are their pain points? What are their goals? Learning about your customers will allow you to tailor your approach and provide solutions that will be more useful to them. Understand your customers better, and you’ll be better equipped to show them how your business can help them achieve their goals. Find the right way to connect with your customers, and you’ll cultivate stronger relationships.
Move on to your next lead
The best way to find and hunt potential leads is through your sales process, but you have to start somewhere. Start with the first person you meet. Start with the email you start with. Start with your first call. Start with one lead. Start with someone who is interested in learning more about your business. Start with someone who is ready to listen and learn. Start with someone who is open to finding out if they have a need that your business can serve. Start with someone who is interested in finding a solution. Once you have your first lead, move on to the next one. You can refine your targeting as you move through the sales funnel.
