TJ's Hack:  Focus on customers winning. 

This is one of Moovweb's Core Values and something I try to represent in my work. 

Sales is all about understanding needs and delivering value, and in order to do this well you need to align yourself with the customer's world and care about their success. Moovweb as a company works towards this goal from pre-sales all the way through to customer success. We develop strong relationships with our customers and strive to offer value at every step.

With this in mind, their success is our success and vice versa, so we get to share in victories together, all while strengthening our partnerships.

Courtney's Hack: Precision Targeting 

The more precise you can be, the better success you’ll have. With etailinsights you can narrow down exactly the companies that fit your ideal target and then refine even further right to down to identifying the decision maker you need to connect with. This helps you get to the right prospect quickly and not waste your time sorting through leads that are not in your ideal client profile.

Taylor's Hack: Don't Forget to Listen to Your Customers

A lot of the time in SaaS sales, it’s easy to list off features and statistics and dive right into a demo of the product, which can overwhelm prospects or cause them to tune out on a call or WebEx. Avoid being put on mute after effectively securing a demo by listening, engaging with, and asking effective questions to your prospect. Find out what the root problem or pain point in your prospect’s current business is, and adjust your demo to highlight the specific areas of your solution that can help fix their current pain points.

Ryan's Hack: Localize Your Prospecting

I can’t say enough about localizing your prospecting. We have sales people in major markets including Arizona, Texas, Illinois, and Colorado. Being able to call on a prospect and tell them you’re located within driving distance is huge. With all the sales calls that etailers receive, it's important to put a face with a name. Plus, knowing you're close gives them some comfort that if they do decide to work with you they have a local “throat to choke.”

John's Hack: Research Your Prospect's Partners

"Technology Spy." Such a cool cheat that allows you to quickly know when a firm changes ESP, eCommerce platforms, or anything else in between. This is essential for our business, as we care deeply about integration partners. If a firm goes from "in-house" capabilities to demandware over night, we want to know. Technology Spy will push that information to you in real-time, keeping you update with the prospects and firms you care about engaging with the most.

Nick's Hack: Leverage etailinsights for Account Based Marketing

Use etailinsights for "Account Based Marketing" – calling or emailing a contact/account with a targeted message. If you are an email service provider, you could run a report in etailinsights of every company using your top competitor (i.e. MailChimp could target everyone using Constant Contact). You can then use that report to build out your top accounts, create a sequence of messaging, and build out a successful cadence of calls/emails.

Jamie's Hack: Market for Their Needs, Not Your Solution

Go big or go home regarding your acquisition efforts. As an out-of-country firm, we find that our brand recognition is non-existent compared to what it is in Canada. So whether your acquisition strategy is direct, mass, or event-based, we need to make an impact with the dollars we spend.
