In this session, Scott now moves on to what happens when you get a response.
Remember - Social not sales
Just like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, LinkedIn is a social media platform not a sales platform, it’s meant for your professional network. You’re probably using LinkedIn to look up an ex-colleague, to change your job title or share an article - well, that’s how others will be using it too. When you’re messaging, treat prospects as you’d like to be treated and be conversational in your approach. In general, people don’t like to be sold to, but they do like to network and make connections.
Scott offers a couple of great examples of how to / not to communicate when sending your connection requests.
An introduction to Pivoting
Pivoting is the technique of enticing a response and guiding a conversation to your desired outcome using engaging questioning or topics, ideally in a conversational format
Put simply, if you talk to someone at a networking event or a party, it’s always important for you to be more interested in the other person, than for them to be interested in you. You can control the conversation by asking engaging questions and putting forward topics that entice a response and keep the conversation going.
This approach can be implemented in your Dux-Soup drip campaigns, or in a reply to a prospect.
Implementing the pivoting technique will:
Pivoting - Structure
Let’s look at the framework with an example Scott shared:
You’re selling Dux-Soup and reaching out to the VP of a marketing of a company. You ask “How important is social media?” and they say “social media is crucial for sales and marketing teams to utilize.”
This last question is crucial…
The back and forth conversation is essential - even if they say no to you now, you have the connection and will now be able to prospect to them at some point in the future.
To listen to the Pivoting Structure examples in full go to 13:12 mins of the recording.
Pivoting Example #1
Scott shared with us a real-life example of a conversation Amped had with a client.
The Dux Soup user was a VP of Marketing at an art executive consulting firm. Their targets were sales leaders who landed in new roles in the last 90 days. The LinkedIn prospect was the VP of Global Sales for an American multinational technology conglomerate corporation.
Avoid Scheduling Hell
Once the prospect has said “yes”, how do you move to the next stage of scheduling without them going quiet? Here are Scott’s winning tips!
Data shows they are more likely to send their email straight away while they’re in the conversation with you. So go ahead, book a time at your convenience and send the invite out.
With this approach you’re not introducing a new medium that takes them off the LinkedIn platform and into somewhere else, and you’re not trying to write out a long list of times for them to spend more time checking against their calendar.
