Always Bring Something To The Party When Marketing Computer Services
When you show up to most technology sales leads meetings that were generated by IT telemarketing, then you are already up against a competitor that has a huge advantage.
The computer consultants that is already taking care of your prospect’s technology is entrenched . You have a sliver of a chance to unseat them. One marketing computer services client that we have, calls their IT sales meetings ’wedge’ marketing meetings. The goal is to wedge yourself in and continue to widen the gap in your competitors weakness in the eyes of your prospect
One of the first things that you have to over come is that they don’t know you and they already know their current computer services provider. They also like their current technology provider also. So one of the most important things you need to focus on is making sure you can get them to ‘like’ you even more then their current computer consultant in your marketing processes.
We have selected a box of donuts as the picture for this blog because one of the easiest things you can do to get your prospect to like you more is to, “bring something to the party”. A good example would be to bring a box of donuts to your morning marketing computer services meetings. Also, you can take your prospects out to lunch, or if you invite them to your offices on the 2nd or 3rd follow up meeting, then you can have lunch brought it. Don’t forget to offer sports tickets and even gift cards.
As we get into the holiday seasons these niceties will become even more important than ever to even get the first IT sales leads set up. With the Holidays being such a busy time you have to make offers to get their attention.
However, if you keep bringing something to the party each time and have a great model, pricing, value and excellent references, then you will keep widening that wedge opening you made with your gifts. Before you know it, the prospects will find themselves liking you more than their current computer consultants.
As you contuinue marketing your computer business never forget that you have to do everything right to successfully grow, including bring something to the party.
One company that we know that is ’giving’ gifts to their prospects to get them to like them more than their current computer consultants providers is Binatech from Buffalo, NY.
