Know Your Client
Know Your Client (KYC) is a phrase often used in the finance industry but can be applied to any sales strategy. By learning all there is to know about your prospective client you can tailor your sales approach to their specific needs.
You should know what business your prospect is in before you even call, but do you know which CRM they use? Do you know what sort of phone system they use? Do you know their sales process? Do you know their target market? Do you know their marketing model? The more you Know Your Client, especially when dealing with selling without face to face interaction, the more likely they are to trust you, because you have actually given them a reason to!
Ask More Questions
Along with knowing your client, you want to engage with Question-Based Selling. What you ask, and how you ask it, is often the key to making a great sale. Let your prospect know that you actually care about their situation. You want to know their struggles and their victories. That way you have a full understanding of how they function, what works for them, what does not work for them, and what points you can focus in on.
This can all be done virtually, through the use of emails, blogs on your website, or even a chatbot.
Ask more questions and make fewer statements. For example, instead of stating something like "we're better than our competition because we care," you could ask your prospective client:
- How easy is it for you to get someone on the phone when you have an issue?
- Are you satisfied with the response time of your current service provider?
- How frequently are you experiencing issues like dropped calls, no audio, or lagging?
This gets them thinking about their experience and pain points - and gives you something to follow up on in.

Simplify Quoting and Billing
One benefit of the Know Your Client process is getting the quote close to right the first time.
