FREMONT, CA: From small to large- businesses of all sizes have become victims of the coronavirus pandemic. Companies are compelled to adopt a remote working culture in order to keep their business going. Everyone is striving to adjust to the new normal. Digital workflows enable teams to work without much hustle. Employees can now engage with potential customers through virtual sales calls using the sophisticated technologies available to them.
Let us look at the steps to increase online sales:
Build Strong Social Media Profiles
Social media is the potential marketplace for companies to advertise themselves. Developing a compelling social media profile and presence for businesses is the key to make more virtual sales. However, nowadays, even employees need to have professional and well-crafted profiles that represent the brand. LinkedIn can be a great platform for marketers and sales representatives because of its vast network of professionals from different industries.
Encourage Prospect Participation on Calls
In order to keep prospective customers interested during the call, sales executives need to encourage them to ask questions or concerns about their pitch. Besides, they need to be well-prepared to manage their prospects positively and offer help regarding their objections. It is utterly important to listen attentively to the prospect’s concerns and provide them with solutions and options. This would help build trust between the two parties.
Provide Teams with the Right Video Call Gear
Since in-person conversation is now not possible given the safety concerns, a video call gear can fill the void for sales executives by enabling them to deliver a professional and crisp experience for their prospects. Also, companies need to consider reimbursing employees to have the minimum internet speed requirement for virtual calls, and any other needs they will require to have a productive workspace from home.
