The 3 Things Every Prospect Wants to Hear

Why re-invent the wheel? Pam McBride wrote a great blog on this topic. It is worthy of sharing.

Prospects invest a great deal of time researching the right solution. For some, it’s easier because they’ve got a hot tip on a must-have service – and if that’s your service then you’ve been working really hard at customer success! Throughout the evaluation process, a number of solutions (likely your competitors) are being considered, a few individuals from different departments are weighing in (the average decision group consists of 5.4 people) and the prospect is really kicking the tires on your trial.

So why should they become your customer? You really do have a great service to offer them and it solves their pain, but someone else is convincing them that they do as well. So why should they become your customer – you need to tell them the 3 things every prospect wants to hear:We focus on outcomes We remove any friction you may be experiencing with our service – we don’t anticipate you’ll have any but in case you do…. We will be there during every one of your decisive moments. This is the bar we set for our prospects and we continue providing the same level of guidance and attention to our customers.
