1 Lead Quality

High-quality leads are the lifeblood of any sales operation. When evaluating a prospecting platform, ensure it offers advanced lead scoring and segmentation capabilities. This allows you to prioritize prospects based on their likelihood to convert and ensures your team focuses their efforts on the most promising opportunities. A platform that provides detailed information about leads, including their industry, company size, and decision-making role, can significantly increase the chances of a successful outreach.

One of my client in China is the biggest made products supplier of an Indian purchaser. But one day, my client found the Indian purchaser havenot ordered for nearly 3 months. But its origional platform couldnot show any leads of the Indian purchaser. So my client came to me for a detailed check. Via my platform, it showed the Indian purchaser transfered to buy origional material rather than made products from Bangladesh. What a coincidence, my client also provide the origional materials. So he contacted his Indian purchaser and give them a reasonable offer about origional materials. And they cooperated again because of the mutual trust foundation. So good lead could help you know well about your purchasers' purchasing hint.

From a selling motion, flexibility of grouping people into different flows is key. Being able to add in key indicators to trigger motions is a must. And being able to templatize selling motions is a must.

2 Integration Ease

A good sales prospecting platform should seamlessly integrate with your existing tools, such as customer relationship management (CRM) systems, email marketing software, and social media platforms. This integration is vital for maintaining data consistency and streamlining workflow. Look for a platform with an intuitive interface and straightforward integration processes to minimize disruptions and learning curves. The easier it is to integrate, the quicker your team can adapt and start reaping the benefits.

Ease of integration cannot be stressed enough. These days, most tech companies use around 30 (or more) tools. Not being able to connect to other platforms drastically slows down selling motions.

La integración entre sistemas de información es una característica fundamental que se debe tener en cuenta a la hora de evaluar cualquier nueva herramienta nueva que se desee utilizar. Elegir una herramienta que no se pueda integrar a los sistemas de una compa?ía puede acabar siendo una pésima inversión.

3 Automation Tools

Automation is a game-changer in sales prospecting. The right platform should offer tools that automate repetitive tasks like email follow-ups, scheduling meetings, and updating lead statuses. This not only saves valuable time but also reduces the risk of human error. With these mundane tasks handled automatically, your team can focus on more strategic activities that require a personal touch, such as relationship building and closing deals.

Any good software will allow salespeople to see the information in a format they want to see it. My main problem with such platforms has been the inability to be able to customize and print the information in the format I want. For example, I might want to print clients by the last date I called on them, or by their cities.

For smaller startups, having vendor support is so important because many of those companies have one man teams and are more likely being reactive instead of proactive with tasks.
