First Contact
- Consider a mix of standardized outreach via cold emails and personalized strategies via phone or more creative means (ever thought about sending your prospects a shoe?)
- Don’t pitch your product upon first contact. Ask questions about your customer’s pain points and wishes.
Demo
- Don’t just demo all your features. Know what will create value for this specific customer.
- If possible, demo on-site to establish a more personal relationship.
- Even if you can’t convince the customer, ask for a referral to someone else in the industry.
