A Strikeout Can Still Be a Hit
Engage Your “Nos” and “Not Right Nows”
By Brennan Scanlon, Executive Director – BNI SW Ohio & N Kentucky

Sales people have a nasty habit of moving too quickly from prospect to prospect, appointment to appointment. Sales books and audio sets have told us for decades: “It’s a numbers game! Every ‘no’ gets you closer to a ‘yes’!”

There is truth to this. However, allow me to challenge your thinking. A strikeout with a prospect can be a hit for your referral partners—and become a home run for you!

I learned this through an experience I had with Patty, a city administrator I called on last year. After three long months courting her as a client, I struck out. Most sales people would have left her behind, but I did not. Sure, I invested three months and walked away without a sale, but I managed to develop something even more valuable: a relationship.

In fact, over the next several months I went back to see Patty—not alone of course. I brought my referral partners with me. One was a payroll provider who has since closed a deal with Patty. Next, I introduced a referral partner who sells ink cartridges to cities at 70 percent of the cost of the “big box” office supply chains.

The next time Patty is in need of my service, who do you think she’ll reach out to? You guessed it. Also, have I scored points toward future referrals from my payroll and ink cartridge referral partners? You bet.

Traditional selling would tell you to leave Patty in the dust. But the best networkers realize that if you don’t treat Patties like closed doors, you can have dramatic success in the future.

Now your homework assignment: Take a look at the last ten prospects with whom you did not close business. Call your top three referral partners and tell them who they are. Then, set some appointments and take the show on the road. You’ll be glad you did—and so will they.

Brennan Scanlon is an Executive Director for BNI & Referral Institute in Greater Cincinnati. He has been ranked in the Top 10 percent of directors nationally three times, this ranking resulting in performance reviews submitted by BNI members. Brennan has also been inducted into BNI’s Founder’s Circle as nominated by his peers and approved by Dr. Ivan Misner. Over the past 13 years Brennan has been training sales people & entrepreneurs how to harness the power of word of mouth to grow their business. A good referral for him would be a speaking engagement at an organization made up of sales people who need more referrals. He can be reached at www.brennanscanlon.com.

New Valued BNI Member

Corey Talberb is our new Remodeler of the group. Let’s have a dance card and get to know him and business.

Great Article from BNI.Com

The big ask: “I’m looking to be introduced to Brian, product director for Company X.” At first glance, there is nothing unique about the request that was voiced at a recent chapter meeting. I’m certain there are hundreds, even thousands, like it made every day at BNI chapters across the globe. The difference was what I did with it.

Up until that day, anytime I heard a request for an introduction to an individual whom I didn’t know, I would disregard it.

That day, however, I went back to my office and searched for the person on LinkedIn. Much to my surprise, I found him. And I had a connection to him. Brian was connected to at least one person to whom I am connected. I asked my connection if he would be willing to facilitate an introduction between my BNI colleague and Brian. He did, and it resulted in $30,000 worth of business.

Thanks to LinkedIn, I went from having nothing to give to facilitating $30,000 of closed business.

This experience prompted me to dive into LinkedIn and learn how to use it within BNI. The results were spectacular. I went from being a good referral giver to being a great referral giver. My referrals more than tripled – and so did the value to my chapter. I now had a brand new source of referrals readily available to me, thanks to the relationships I built over time.

LinkedIn was becoming a key tool for building referrals; I wanted my BNI chapter to learn how to use it to boost their referrals, too. My colleague and co-author of this article, Betty Jo Waxman, was one of the first to see the potential and began to use it as a way to give more to the members of the chapters she supports as an assistant director. Others listened as well and experienced immediate results.

As you know, word travels fast in BNI. Soon people began calling me with all kinds of LinkedIn questions. I became known as “The LinkedIn Guy.”

Within no time, fielding all the questions coming my way was consuming a lot of my time. I decided to create video tutorials to address the questions and teach people exactly what to do to capitalize on the synergy between BNI and LinkedIn.

The next thing I knew I was invited to speak on the topic at various venues – including Members Day during one of 2010′s International Networking Week events in San Diego. Susan Goodsell, executive director of the Riverside/San Bernardino CA region, attended that presentation and invited me to BNI headquarters to do a session for her members. This ultimately led to Betty Jo doing a break-out presentation on the topic at the BNI International Conference in Anaheim last November.

Susan asked if she could use my video tutorials to do a pilot program. What could the results be if an entire chapter participated using these principles? I agreed, and the results were excellent: Referrals went up 350%, value given went up more than five times, and the number of visitors skyrocketed as well – all in a matter of weeks.

Eddy Longshore, president of Inland Empire Referral Network, said this halfway through the pilot program: “We’re now four weeks into the process, and I’m blown away by the results. We have more than doubled the number of referrals we used to average, and the energy and enthusiasm it has generated is phenomenal.”

For BNI members reading this article, I’d like to share a short video that explains how you can use LinkedIn to give and receive three times as many referrals. Please click here to watch it.

What’s fascinating is where this journey is taking us. Word-of-mouth within BNI has spread the LinkedIn program across continents. We’ve done presentations in Dubai and we’re currently scheduling a visit to India to share this program.

We’re also in the process of piloting the program in a few regions in the USA. It includes video tutorials along with a structured system for implementation and ongoing support on conference calls. There’s even a dynamic game to make it fun for members to implement. We are working out the bugs and creating the infrastructure so that we can soon offer it to the entire BNI community. Stay tuned!

Rick Itzkowich, aka The LinkedIn Guy, is the creator of QuoteActions and the co-founder of Productive Learning & Leisure – a Strategic Alliance Partner of BNI. A member of the Del Mar BNI chapter since 1998, he has earned the Notable Networker award – given to the top referral giver in the chapter – 19 times. Rick has been interviewed by Dr. Ivan Misner for the BNI Podcast where he discussed the importance of having a system for follow-up. As a sought after international speaker, he spoke on LinkedIn at the “You Learn Twit Face” Social Media Conference in Dubai where he won the People’s Choice award for best speaker.

Betty Jo Waxman has been a BNI member for nine years. Among the 80+ chapters in the San Francisco Bay Area region where she has also been an Assistant Director since 2004, those Betty Jo supports are consistently in the top ten. She is in high demand by chapters throughout the region to deliver two AD presentations she created to grow chapters and increase referrals – both of which she has presented in break-out sessions at BNI Conferences. Betty Jo had been working alongside Rick Itzkowich since 1982 leading Personal Growth workshops for both individuals and companies.

Mr. Bob Elliott

This coming week lets think about mixing up your commercial.

Great Article from BNI.COM

“I Have a Problem”
Why your 60-Second Commercial should point to a solution.
By Duane Christensen

Isn’t a BNI 60-Second Commercial or Sales Manager Moment really an advertisement? Isn’t it a sales message?
I’d like to share one way that you could do a 60-Second Commercial at your next BNI meeting.

First, consider this: What does your product or service do for your customers?

That’s a question that might have hundreds of answers. But just a few of those answers will “hit home” with the majority of your current and past customers. Figuring out the most relevant answer to this question is key to creating an effective sales message.

When you need to create an advertisement, email, sales letter, BNI 60-Second Commercial, direct mail postcard—anything related to sales and marketing—pretend that one person (your prospect) has a problem, a problem you can fix.

In your sales message, address the problem first. Addressing your prospect’s problem gets their attention. They think, Hey, I’ve got that same issue. I wonder what they’re going to do about it. It’s best to be specific in your sales message. The more specific your message, the better you’ll connect with your audience and attract their full attention.

Now that you’ve got them “hooked” for a few more seconds, what’s next? Personally, I like to tell a short story about how one of my customers had a particular problem. I give details about their problem, and then share exactly what I did to make their problem disappear. People love stories, and they also like to hear that they are not the only ones with that same problem.

Finally, briefly summarize everything. Remind them of their problem, let them know how you would fix it, and tell them to contact you regarding their similar problem.

There are many different angles and creative ways to tell your prospect how you can help them. Just remember that your potential new customers don’t really give a darn about your product or service; they just want to know if you can get rid of their problem.

A final note: There’s no one way to give a 60-Second Commercial. Don’t get caught up in what you think a 60-Second Commercial should sound like. Don’t be afraid to break the rules. If you give the same commercial week-in and week-out, you’re training your fellow BNI members to forget you.

I don’t want you to take three hours to come up with a good commercial. You’ll never create the perfect one. You have many stories to share about how you can help people. Don’t try to cram everything into one. Attend every week, and feed us a bit of new information each time. You may think we know everything about your business, but we don’t.
