5. Conversation Planner - Practical exercise & example
1. Connect | Get favourable attention - varied & creative: Compliment, Ask a question, Referral, Educate, Startle AND Establish yourself as a problem solver that creates value & ROI | Hi, It looks like you're doing some amazing work on recent promos, I'd love to understand how campaign X went and what exciting campaigns you're planning to do next? | I understand that engaging customers in order to create moments for specific customer actions is becoming increasingly difficult with the average attention span of 9 seconds to create interest. Based on our discussions around your Marketing strategy and the importance of maintaining and growing your customer base, I believe that Mobiz can drastically improve your ability to connect with your consumers Mobiz enables 30x engagement over email and 100x engagement over standard SMS as well as reduce your resource cost and improve your agility to deliver campaigns according to your priorities and timelines without having the hassle of managing SLA's and dealing with lost opportunities caused by delays. | Move to next step- ask more questions to lead to uncovering their issues/challenges | Can we meet next week to kickstart a POC? In Meeting: May I ask some questions around your approaches and current methods of engagement? |
2. Collaborate | Research and determine the buyers current situation as well a Authority, Budget, Need and Timeline | Fact finding with customer in conversation: see questions : | AS-IS | What are your required features for a solution like this?; What could you change about your current tools/resources/situation re campaign design & execution; What do you like about the current set up ie what's working? who are your current providers/and how or why did you select them?Authority: In addition to you, who else is involved in the buying process? Budget: How much are you spending on this currently? Need: What kind of pressure are you getting to make some changes? | |
| | | Should Be | What changes would you like to see? Can we run POC?; Have you set aside budget? ; Do you have ability to create ad-hoc campaigns? ; Can you automate segmentation and how do you improve next campaigns? How do you personalise your campaigns? How are your metrics looking for CTR? | |
| | | Barriers | What are the risks of staying with your current supplier? In addition to the challenges of customer reach, engagement online, are there any other challenges you are facing? What are your timings to start using Mobiz or starting with a POC? What other discussions should we have and with whom to take this forward? Are there any dependencies that could hinder progress? Where in priority does this sit for your organisation? | |
| | | Benefit/ Payout | If you can run POC and show good/ better results, what impact would this have Marketing (division) on COMPANY X as a whole? How would your team perform differently? What would your time to execute look like? Would your time spent with agencies be reduced? | |
| | | Capability | I understand that engaging customers in order to create moments for specific customer actions is becoming increasingly difficult with the average attention span of 9 seconds to create interest. Based on our discussions around your Marketing strategy and the importance of maintaining and growing your customer base, I believe that Mobiz can drastically improve your ability to connect with your consumers Mobiz enables 30x engagement over email and 100x engagement over standard SMS as well as reduce your resource cost and improve your agility to deliver campaigns according to your priorities and timelines without having the hassle of managing SLA's and dealing with lost opportunities caused by delays. | |

4. Objection handling | LISTEN, PAUSE, ASK & UNCOVER ALL OBJECTIONS - CUSHION- neither agree or disagree, buffer response before asking another question | RESPOND - DARE _ Deny, Admit, Reverse & explain | |
I understand that you may already be using SMS and email and have agencies that manage your campaign | If I can solve that, can we go ahead? | Tell me more? | |
Being concerned about the outcome/time/price is normal, I understand if you may be hesitant to try another channel | | Why do you say that or feel that way? | In addition to what you've just said, is there anything else you're concerned about? |
I agree your team may to spend a bit of time on a new tool and will be an additional expense to execute campaigns on Mobiz. You've also expressed concerns around maintaining your customers and the resource outlay for agency work (time and money) and the need to be more agile in these economic times. With Mobiz, we not only guide your team every step of the way to equip them to send campaigns, but we also have the ability to schedule campaign sends, hyper-personalize your content for better engagement as well as there is no cost to consumer to engage which enables you to be agile and capitalize on ad-hoc campaign sending, improve resource efficiency, reduce spend and (time waiting for) agencies by upskilling your current resources and maximise your ability to reach and retain your customers! | Imagine that you can reduce your dependency and spend whilst simultaneously improving marketing performance, customer loyalty and boosting sale opportunities? Imagine your team having the ability to execute campaigns speedily to capitalise on opportunities to deploy scheduled campaigns, leveraging their current skills and removing the delay from external parties, which means when supply chain has stock to move, marketing can create offers and promotions in little to no time and deploy it at their convenience. | | Consider objections: Price, timing, man-power, supplier in place, No need |
5. Close | Ask for the sale | | |
| Can we move ahead? Can you sign the proposal? etc | Can we share our proposal | |
