Hey Sales RX'ers,

​

Standing out in a sea of cold emails, calls, and LinkedIn DMs is tough but a necessity. If you're struggling to capture and maintain your prospects' attention, discover how to leverage your unique personality in sales outreach.

​
​

Using humor and creativity can differentiate yourself while conducting meaningful research to make your interactions resonate with potential clients. Whether you're a sales veteran or a novice, these insights can revolutionize your approach and results.

​
​

Tip 1: Embrace Your Personality in Sales

Sales is not just about professionalism; it's also about personality. There is a new wave of importance being put on infusing personal humor and creativity into sales strategies. By sharing relatable content and personalized messages, you can establish a genuine connection with your prospects, especially in markets like sales where personal rapport is key.

​
This can include funny short-form video content, video memes, picture memes, and TikTok video trends that are relative to your industry. Even though a lot of us like to leave our work at the door, we still consume content outside of our 9-5 that is relevant to our industry. This is especially true when it comes to satire and humorous content.

​
​

Tip 2: Creativity and Personalization in Outreach

Creativity in sales extends beyond just crafting messages. It involves understanding your prospect's interests and hobbies and tailoring your approach accordingly. For instance, sending a book about dolphins to a prospect interested in them, or customized gifts that strike a personal chord. This approach demonstrates that you're not just selling a product, but also valuing the relationship.

​

If you see your prospect has a golf landscape in their LinkedIn banner, why not send them a set of customized golf balls with your face printed on them? Include a note that says, when you want to give me some payback for those cold calls I’ve been making on Monday morning. This will catch the attention of your prospect, but also lighten the mood around your frequency of outreach.

​

​

Tip 3: Strong Research Backs Effective Outreach

While creativity catches attention, strong research keeps it. Understanding your prospect’s business, and their challenges, and tailoring your message to address these specific points makes your outreach more relevant and effective. It’s not just about reaching out; it’s about reaching out with a purpose that resonates with the prospect's needs and goals.

​
​

This is much faster than most reps think it is. It’s not just about knowing a personal detail or two but understanding their persona. You should have a breakdown of insights on each of your buying personas, champions, and deal influencers. This allows you to also multithread additional contacts at each account and maximize your success potential.

​
​

Conclusion:

Selling requires more than just a good product; it demands a strategic, personalized approach. By incorporating creativity, humor, and thorough research into your sales tactics, you can stand out in a crowded marketplace.

​
​

Remember, in sales, it's not just what you offer, but how you offer it that counts. Adopt these strategies to enhance your sales game and achieve greater success.
