How do you generate sales leads with B2B direct mail when your product is not only new but also changes the category?
I am talking about the challenge being faced by Steve Zach Gentry Steelers Jersey , a subscriber to Alan Sharpe聮s B2B Direct Mail Tactics newsletter. Here is Steve聮s challenge, in his words, followed by my recommendations.
聯I have two B2B prospects that I would like to start marketing to. I am a rep for Amsoil Synthetic Lubricants and I own the website. My major obstacle is getting prospects to start realizing that the standard 3 Benny Snell Jr. Steelers Jersey ,000 mile oil change interval is about to become obsolete. With Amsoil you can safely extend your drain intervals out to 25,000 miles or 1 year.
聯My two prospects are Commercial Accounts (end users of the product) and Retail Accounts (they purchase Amsoil directly from Amsoil and re-sell it to the public). How can I come across to potential prospects as an authority on Synthetic Lubricants? How would I go about getting prospects to start thinking outside the 3,000-mile box? How would I go about getting prospects to see that there is a viable business opportunity with Amsoil? And most important how would I get prospects to take an interest in this subject that would propel them down the road to do extensive research on their own about Amsoil and more importantly Justin Layne Steelers Jersey , why they should choose as their representative. Thanks for your thoughts on this matter. I look forward to your newsletters they have been a big help.?blockquote>
My recommendations:
Q. 1. How can I come across to potential prospects as an authority on Synthetic Lubricants?
A. The surest way to become an authority in any area is to specialize in that area alone. When you write books, give talks, teach seminars Diontae Johnson Steelers Jersey , write articles and consult on a narrow topic, prospects and clients alike perceive you as an expert. If you are not yet a Synthetic Lubricants Guru, I recommend that you borrow authority status from Amsoil Devin Bush Steelers Jersey , your employer, by using their industry research and savvy to your advantage. Give your prospects and clients research and value-added information that your competitors do not supply. The quickest path to guru status is to write a book. The next quickest way is to publish a weekly email newsletter or to get published regularly in the trade press.
Q. 2. How would I go about getting prospects to start thinking outside the 3,000-mile box?
A. I do not know enough about your marketplace to give immutable counsel James Conner Steelers Jersey , but I聮d do the following. Reach early adopters with your message and get them to try and then champion your product to others. Offer the lubricant free for them to test. Create a publicity stunt that demonstrates the superiority of your product. Invite the trade media to cover your publicity stunt.
Q. 3. How would I go about getting prospects to see that there is a viable business opportunity with Amsoil?
A. Present your product to end-users as a money-saving opportunity and to retailers as a money-making opportunity. Concentrate all of your features, benefits, testimonials and other proof on these two sales propositions.
Q. 4. And most important JuJu Smith-Schuster Steelers Jersey , how would I get prospects to take an interest in this subject that would propel them down the road to do extensive research on their own about Amsoil and more importantly, why they should choose as their representative?
A. I would not do anything that encourages prospects to think they have to do 聯extensive research on their own.?Instead, I would offer all of the facts and research they need to make an informed decision. make their decision as effortless as possible.

What鈥檚 worse than it raining cats and dogs? Hailing taxi cabs!
Thankfully that is a thing of the past. There鈥檚 no need to wave your arms full of parcels or yell yourself hoarse to make yourself heard over the zoom and vroom of traffic. All you need to do is use your thumb(s) - and not to hitch a ride. The reality is that no one with a smartphone needs to hail a cab anymore.
