RelSellSales Through Relationships
© 2011. TSL Marketing. Proprietary and Confidential.
Our World View
Selling is based on relationships
No Relationship, No Credibility = No Sales
“Buy or Die” is not a sustainable sales or marketing strategy
Awareness: You can’t sell to people who don’t know you exist.
Credibility: You can’t sell to people who don’t trust you
Commitment: It takes time to build all of the above

OK, Let’s Get Into It
RelSell is smarter marketing designed to achieve the following goals for you:
Identify & engage target contacts at your target companies (your Prospects).
Prospects agreeing to a call with you to discuss your solutions and their needs.
Your Prospects not just being aware of you and your company, but knowing that you are thought leaders in your industry.

Plan
A weak profile kills the project before it startsTSL creates mirror profiles for your sales person on all platforms – does not interfere with existing profile
TSL uses tested best practice profiles to build one that will work for your campaign
You approve this before we use it
A weak message kills the project before it starts
Messaging based on TSL tested best practice
You approve before we use
Weak targeting means a pointless campaign
Must identify target titles at target industries & Geo’s

Build Trust
Now you move from just Contacts to Relationships
Establish credibility through existing marketing contentWhite papers, case studies, articles (not sales material)
If you don’t have any, talk to us – we can help
We promote this marketing content across all channels to
Establish you and your company as a “thought leader” in your industry – the key to closed deals!
We send “time to speak?” requests to your contacts

Time for you to Sell !
A certain percentage (9%+) of connections will typically agree to a call, because:
They have an impending project this year, or
They want to know about you and your company if a need arises
They are contacting you to agree to a call !
You have already been given permission to sell
You need a sales process – don’t try and close a deal on the first call (obviously).
You or your internal team can also follow up with all of your contacts via telemarketing at any time.
Also invite to events, webinars, workshops, etc.

Maintain Momentum
Continue to build credibility and enhance your relationships with new prospects through thought leadership updates
Most marketing activities fail because of “buy-or-die” mentality by Vendors
When a project arises with a Prospect:
You will already have credibility
You will already have some relationship
They will get an “update” and it reminds them to invite you to bid

Finally…
Can’t I or my team just do this internally?Of course – just as you can do direct mail, email, tele, design, strategy, printing in-house, but first ask yourself:
1. Why haven’t you done it so far?• What has changed so that you will do it consistently, day
in and day out now?• What about month end? Quarter end? Client deadlines?
2. Is this really the best use of your time?
3. Can you guarantee yourself results, or don’t pay?!
4. Have you actually calculated that it is cheaper to do this in-house? We think that will work out more expensive…
