Hardly Selling Audit + Recruitment Funnel

Email Draft 1 - Low Close Subject: Your close rate situation Hey [First Name], It's [Sales Rep Name] over at Hardly Selling - I'll be the one talking with you on our pre-audit call on [Date/Time]. I saw on your questionnaire you mentioned you’re dealing with low close rates. I get it, when your reps are having conversations but people just aren't buying, it drives you crazy. The thing is, your sales reps probably have more potential than you realize. Most of the time when close rates are low, it's because they don't have the right process or tools to work with. Think about it, if your reps don't know exactly which prospects to spend time on, or they're not asking the right qualifying questions, or they don't have a clear way to create urgency...even your best people are going to struggle. What we usually find is there are specific gaps in how reps are trained to: * Identify who's actually ready to buy (vs. who's just shopping around) * Handle the most common objections in a way that actually moves people forward * Know exactly when and how to ask for the sale When you fix these gaps and give your reps a better process to follow, close rates typically jump pretty fast…for example, one of our clients EFX Algo went from $770k mo. to $2.2M a mo. It wasn’t rocket science it was just having the sales reps follow the right process, know who to prioritize in their pipeline, and how to handle objections and concerns when they come up. Now, what your specific GAP is, I’m not sure, but I’m looking forward to diving into that on our call. Looking forward to it. [Sales Rep Name] Email Draft 2 - No Show Rates Hey [First Name], It's [Sales Rep Name] over at Hardly Selling - I'll be the one talking with you on our pre-audit call on [Date/Time]. I saw on your questionnaire you mentioned you're dealing with no-show rates. Man, that's gotta be one of the most frustrating things - spending time and energy getting people to book calls, then they just ghost you. Here's the thing though, your sales reps are probably doing everything they can to get people to show up. The issue usually isn't that they're not trying hard enough. Most of the time when no-show rates are high, it's because you're either sending out too much communication that sounds desperate, or the messages aren't actually relevant to what the prospect cares about. Think about it - if someone books a call but then gets bombarded with generic follow-ups, or they're getting messages that don't speak to their specific situation... they start thinking "these people don't really get my business" and they bail. The key is closing the "time to relationship" gap. You need to build a real connection with prospects quickly so they actually see value in spending time with your team. What we usually find is there are specific gaps in: * Sending too many follow-ups that sound pushy instead of helpful * Using generic messaging instead of speaking to their specific pain points * Not building enough trust and rapport before the call so prospects don't see the value When you fix these gaps, show rates typically jump pretty fast. For example, one of our clients went from 35% show rates to over 70% show rates in just a few weeks. It wasn't magic - it was just fixing the process so the right people were booking calls and they actually understood the value of showing up. Now, what your specific gap is, I'm not sure, but I'm looking forward to diving into that on our call. Looking forward to it. [Sales Rep Name] Email Draft 3 - Inconsistent Sales Performance Hey [First Name], It's [Sales Rep Name] over at Hardly Selling - I'll be the one talking with you on our pre-audit call on [Date/Time]. I saw on your questionnaire you mentioned you're dealing with inconsistent sales performance. That's gotta be pretty frustrating when some months your reps are on fire, other months they can't close a door. Just speaking from experience here, what usually bothers our clients the most is when you go to review your rep’s calls (if they even bothered to record them), they're missing basic questions that you would've nailed 10 out of 10 times. It’s pretty common that we hear business owners say, "Why have I spent so much time training these people if they're not gonna do what I told them?" The thing is, your sales reps probably want to be consistent. The issue usually isn't that they don't care - it's that they don't have a system that makes it impossible for them to forget those key questions. What we usually find is there are specific gaps in: * Having a step-by-step process that's so simple they can't screw it up * Making sure the important questions get asked every time, not just when they remember * Having a way to track what's actually working so the good stuff doesn't get lost * Etc. Etc. When you fix these gaps, performance evens out pretty fast. For example, one of our clients Joe Amara went from swinging between $550k and $750k per month to hitting $2.2 million All we needed to do was give their existing reps a system they couldn't mess up. Now, what your specific gap is with your sales process or your training, I'm not sure, but I'm looking forward to diving into that on our call. Looking forward to it. [Sales Rep Name] Email 4 - Hiring New Sales Reps Hey [First Name], It's [Sales Rep Name] over at Hardly Selling - I'll be the one talking with you on our pre-audit call on [Date/Time]. I saw on your questionnaire you mentioned you're dealing with hiring new sales reps. Dude, that's gotta be one of the worst parts of running a business….everyone talks a big game but most of them suck at actually selling. Here's what really pisses off most of our clients: you spend forever interviewing people, they sound awesome, then they hop on your leads and treat them like crap. They don't get that you're dropping real cash on these leads and they're just torching them. You likely want people who actually give a damn about the job, and who treat your leads like they're paying for them out of their own pocket, AND who can actually close deals instead of just talking about it. Most of the time hiring goes sideways because people don't know what actually matters in hiring a rep or they don't have a way to spot the fakers who just interview well. What we usually find is there are specific gaps in: * Knowing what to look for that actually predicts if someone can sell * Testing if they'll treat your leads right instead of burning through them * Figuring out who can close vs. who just sounds good * Etc. Etc. Dude[a], when you nail the hiring process, you stop cycling through duds. For example, one of our clients went from burning through 19 reps in 6 months to finding 4 solid sales reps who are still killing it a year later. Now, what your specific gap is in your hiring process, I'm not sure, but I'm looking forward to diving into that on our call. Looking forward to it. [Sales Rep Name] [a]get rid of if female
