Sales Systems
Now that you've captured someone's interest, it's time to nurture the relationship until they're ready to buy. Ready for some good news? Many parts of this system can be automated so you save time. Want better news? This automated process doesn't sacrifice a personal touch. Read on to learn how.

A successful Sales System will incorporate five stages:
- Process Documentation
- Goal Setting
- Message Development
- Copywriting
- Integration
|
Let’s zoom in on each stage of the process.
Process Documentation
How can you be sure that every activity is high-ROI? What does an effective process look like?
How often should prospects be contacted? Too little follow-up and they forget, but too much
and they get annoyed and run the other way. Sound familiar? Well, rest easy if you’re
with Taumark. Our proprietary process helps our clients create a customized sales process that
works specifically for their company. Documenting the process is like drawing the map to ensure
you get to your destination.
Goal Setting
If documenting the process is like a map, then goal setting is filling the map in with landmarks,
street signs and directions so you don’t get lost. By setting clearly defined goals that
are measurable and realistic you can help keep your sales system on track and guarantee results.
Message Development
A letter you send to a new prospect is probably going to be much different than what you would
send a referral partner you’ve been working with for a year. This stage focuses on specific
follow-up activities that will help nurture your prospects – things like when it’s best
to make a “check-in” call, send a personal note, letter, e-mail or invitation to play
golf, have lunch or go to a sporting event. At this stage, it pays to have fun and get creative to
find different ways to nurture your prospects. The right message delivered at the right time in the
right way can help you systematically achieve repeatable sales and increased profits.
Copywriting
Now it’s time to put a pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and create the personalized
letters and e-mails for each stage of your follow-up system. But why re-invent the wheel? By using
templates, you can ensure a polished message without the work of creating a new letter every time.
Best of all, templates can still be personalized so each prospect will know you’re speaking
directly to them. Writing not your forte? Taumark also has professional writers on staff that can help
you craft your compelling correspondence.
Integration
Now’s the time where (using your map with the excellent directions) you get in the car and
drive. During the integration stage, automatic reminders will help ensure nothing falls through
the cracks. Whether you use a simple contact management program like Microsoft Outlook, or a
full-scale Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system the Taumark Sales System is scalable
at any size. Looking at upgrading? We can provide you with objective research and recommendations.
Since we have no vested interest in selling software, we eliminate any conflict of interest and
focus on the solution that will be best for you.
