Imagine that I\u2019m a hacker, and I managed to hack into the networks of one of the most innovative and well-known technology companies on the planet.<\/p>

There, sitting on the server, was a document titled \u201c$100 million in 3 years\u201d.<\/p>

I open the document, and the first sentence I read is\u2026<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

CONFIDENTIAL:<\/strong> This is the exact sales process we used in the last 3 years to grow our outbound sales process from $0 to over $100 million in annual revenue in less than 3 years.\u00a0<\/p>

We all want predictable revenue right?<\/strong><\/p>

Discover the exact outbound sales process that, in just a few years, helped add $100 million in recurring revenue to Salesforce.com, almost doubling their growth…<\/p>

Ross did an amazing job at Salesforce.com, and the book tells his story how he built the lead generation function from scratch and gives some great insights.<\/p>

I really enjoyed Predictable Revenue and like the author’s style, in fact I found it hard to put the book down.<\/p>

If you want to have a process to generate lead, qualify them, and move them down that sales funnel, this book is for you.<\/p>

My favourite part of the book was around how to nurture and qualify leads.<\/p>

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tAt the beginning of the book he states that building a “sales machine” that creates ongoing, predictable revenue takes three things:\n
    \n
  1. Predictable lead generation;<\/li> \n\n
  2. A sales development team that connects marketing and sales; and<\/li> \n\n
  3. Consistent sales systems.<\/li> \n<\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t

    However, as he points out, predictable lead generation is proven to be the most important thing for creating predictable revenue, so that\u2019s where we are going to focus our time.<\/p>

    That also comes with the added bonus that you can implement this portion of his system whether you are a large multi-billion dollar company, or a 1 person start-up.<\/p>

    How do we know that?<\/p>

    Because this is the portion of the plan that Aaron first executed on his own at Salesforce.com.<\/p>

    So buckle up – you\u2019re going to learn how to rocket your sales on autopilot.<\/p>

    Let\u2019s get started\u2026<\/p>

    <\/span>Cold Calling 1.0 vs. Cold Calling 2.0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t

    At the core of Ross\u2019 predictable revenue strategy is something he calls Cold Calling 2.0.<\/p>

    Ross defines cold calling as \u201ccalling someone who doesn\u2019t know you and who isn\u2019t expecting your call.\u201d<\/p>

    Cold Calling 2.0, on the other hand, means prospecting into cold accounts without ever making any cold calls. With this method, you are expected to qualify accounts and contacts before calling. Think research, rather than sell.<\/p>

    There are 5 steps in the process, and we\u2019ll go through them together one-by-one.<\/p>

    Remember, this is a process that only works if you follow all of the steps. With that in mind, let’s start with the most critical step\u2026<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    First things first, create your customer avatar \u2013 Remember you can have more than one!<\/p>

    This is going to help maximize productivity and sales by identifying great prospects more easily through smart targeting. On the flip side, it will save time by disqualifying poor prospects more quickly.<\/p>

    If you don\u2019t yet know exactly who you’re target market is, you should be thinking about where the highest likelihood of winning business, and where the highest potential for generating revenue will be.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    You need to clarify which criteria matters most to your business, but here are some sample criteria to get your creative juices flowing:<\/p>

    • How many employees does your target company have?<\/li>
    • What industries are they in?<\/li>
    • What geographies are they in?<\/li>
    • What is their sales model?<\/li>
    • How much money per month do they spend on what your company sells?<\/li>
    • What specific products\/services are they using today?<\/li>
    • What is the financial status of the company – are they growing and profitable?<\/li>
    • What values do the people you most want to deal with have?<\/li>
    • What is the exact role\/title of the person you need to reach in that company in order to close a sale?<\/li>
    • What are the core challenges the company you are trying to sell to face regularly?<\/li><\/ul>

      Ross suggests that you can have more than one “ideal customer,” but you should limit yourself to 1-5 types of profiles.<\/p>

      Your criteria will also be changing as you go through this process learning more about what\u2019s working for you and what isn\u2019t. Remember to keep refreshing this list regularly.<\/p>

      Once you have unearthed your ideal customer profile, it\u2019s time to move on to step #2.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

      However, the general idea is that you should use one of the more popular list services, like Salesforce\u2019s Data.com, OneSource, Hoovers, InsideView or ZoomInfo.<\/p>

      The good news is that most of you have probably started to build an internal marketing list, providing your start, before you dive into paid services.\u00a0<\/p>

      Just ensure that before you move to step #3, you have a list of people that fit the criteria you figured out in step #1.\u00a0<\/p>

      Once you have that covered, let\u2019s move on.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      \u201cWait a minute! You want me to email a list of people that I bought from a list service? Isn\u2019t that spam? I read an article that said it was spam. I’m not spamming people. No way.”<\/p>

      Stop, Look & Listen<\/strong><\/h3>

      It’s crucial at this point to get clear on the ground rules. And by ground rules, I mean the law.<\/p>

      As of the date of this writing, you are allowed to send unsolicited email messages to companies in the United States that are not \u201copt-in\u201d as long as you follow the rules set out by the FTC, which you can find here:<\/p>

      http:\/\/www.ftc.gov\/tips-advice\/business-center\/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business<\/p>

      The most important ones are:<\/p>

      1. The subject and header must not be misleading.<\/li>
      2. You must have a valid physical address in your email.<\/li>
      3. You must include a way to opt-out from future communications.<\/li><\/ol>

        Assuming you comply with the legalities to send unsolicited email messages, you’ll then need to determine whether or not you wish to employ this strategy.<\/p>

        All the big corps are doing it, just look at your inbox, so why should you have an issue?<\/p>

        That fact is\u2026<\/p>

        This strategy is powerful, it works, and it will grow your business.<\/p>

        When crafting your email, follow these simple guidelines. The goal of your email should be one of the following:<\/p>

        (a) to get a referral to the person you should be talking to in that organization; or<\/p>

        (b) to figure out the best day\/time to have a conversation.<\/p>

        The emails should look as if they are a single email that came from a salesperson – which means they should be text based \u2013 so lose any images.<\/p>

        They should be easy to read and respond to on a mobile device.<\/p>

        They should be short. This is not the time or place for your elevator pitch.<\/p>

        Here is a sample outreach email:<\/p>

        Subject: Can you point me in the right direction?<\/p>

        Email body:<\/p>

        [firstname], I’m sorry to trouble you. Would you be so kind as to tell me who is responsible for [insert your biggest pain point here that\u00a0resonates with your ideal customer; OR insert function like\u00a0\u201csales\u201d or \u201crecruiting\u201d] and how I might get in touch with them?<\/p>

        Thank you,<\/p>

        What’s My Advice?<\/b><\/p>

        Start with that template and tweak as you learn more about who responds, and who doesn\u2019t. If you need some motivation, this is the exact template that tripled our lead generation numbers in 90 days. Sounds insane, but it’s true!<\/p>

        You should be sending out between 50-100 of these targeted emails per day, with a goal of having 5-10 responses per day, including negative responses.<\/p>

        In the book, Ross suggests that you use a mass email tool. For further help, check out our email autoresponder review here.\u00a0 We take away the pressure and review the best bulk emailer tools on the market.<\/p>

        Two more things before we send you on to step #4.<\/p>

        Firstly, you are most likely to get a hold of the people you want to reach if you send your emails before 9 am or after 5 pm.<\/p>

        This makes sense, because those people are most likely in meetings most of the day, and not only won\u2019t likely respond, but might be inclined to just delete it.<\/p>

        Secondly, you should also avoid sending the emails on Monday and Friday.<\/p>

        Ready for step 4?<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

        When you have the discovery call, the goal is not to sell \u2013 THIS IS IMPORTANT<\/p>

        The goal is to get them talking about their business and to listen. If you are talking more than 30% of the time, you are not <\/strong>asking the right questions.<\/p>

        Remember, this call is to determine whether or not there is a fit. See it as a fact-finding mission to understand your prospect’s business at this point.<\/p>

        Here are some of the questions you should be asking:<\/p>

        • How are your ____ teams\/functions organized?<\/li>
        • How does your ___ process work today?<\/li>
        • What systems are your teams using today?<\/li>
        • How long has the system been in place?<\/li>
        • What are your challenges now?<\/li>
        • What would an ideal situation look like to you?<\/li>
        • How will your decision-making process work?<\/li>
        • What is the probability of a project happening this year?<\/li><\/ul>

          The initial desirable outcome is to qualify whether or not the prospect has any real pain, and how likely they are to act on it relatively soon.<\/p>

          If they don’t have any pain or aren’t likely to act on it soon, it’s better to know now, so you can move on to accounts that are a better fit.<\/p>

          The second thing is getting the prospect to build the case for your product\/service himself.<\/p>

          Understanding the exact words your prospect is using to describe their challenges, is like gold when it comes to closing the deal.<\/p>

          Finally, if your prospect is interested, but they need to convince their team, you should turn your attention to making this person a Champion, who can do the selling for you.<\/p>

          If you give them what they need to be successful (including time) and are persistent (but respectful), you’ll be building up the trust you need to close the sale.<\/p>

          I\u2019ve seen this type of scenario in action personally, and it\u2019s always best to have somebody \u201con the inside\u201d to be doing the selling – Get them<\/em> to be your influencer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

          Like I mentioned earlier, if you are in a smaller company, this person is still likely to be you, so there is no real hand-off.<\/p>

          But the principles are important to consider, even if you are running the entire process by yourself.\u00a0<\/p>

          There is one thing that account executives hate – unqualified leads.<\/p>

          There\u2019s nothing worse than thinking you\u2019ve got a live one on the line, only to realize after stressing and straining for hours, it\u2019s just an old useless tire.<\/p>

          Your compensation plan should be set up in a way<\/p>

          This same rigorous process should be applied even if you are a one-man-show.<\/p>

          Only continue to pursue leads that meet the pre-selected criteria you have set. It always hurts a little letting one off the line, but you are better off focussing your energies where you are more likely to be successful. It is after all a predictable revenue review!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
