What are the Top 3 tips you would give Buyers to increase the probability of achieving the result they want FAST with your agency?
- Don’t be afraid to eliminate potential clients outside your target market. If you keep a clear focus, your website visitors and potential clients will know they are part of your target audience, which increases the probability of achieving your desired sales results.
- Focus on the right metrics. Don’t get caught up in vanity metrics such as the number of dials you make. Focus on the number of MQLs, SQLs, leads generated, and meetings set. These are the metrics that matter and will ultimately lead to success.
- Make sure you have market validation before hiring a sales agency. Educate yourself on this topic and be sure to prioritize market validation before seeking out a sales agency.
