The thing about being able to nurture consistently

Do you feel like opportunities come and then stall? Well you might have an opportunity graveyard and a nurturing problem. 

Fast moving opportunities take the focus, slower moving ones get forgotten and you’re left with a stagnant middle of funnel. Not out of lack of ability, but focus, not enough systemisation and a strategy to constantly nurture with value. 

the problem

Understanding the messy middle

The middle of your funnel is where good opportunities often die on the vine. Not intentionally but when a core part of your sales pipeline isn’t systemised enough and there are ‘hot’ opportunities drawing everyone's attention, it’s easy to lose focus. 

More often than not, new opportunities are arriving in the business and they get the attention they need. Even if you’re reliant on inbound, handling those prospects as they land usually happens well enough.

But, what usually happens is as they either speed and hot up, they get prioritised. And those slowing down, which is natural, get deprioritised. Ultimately getting forgotten at the bottom of a decaying sales stage. 

So the reality is, most businesses are leaving 80% of good opportunities to wither. 

Time passes, the awkwardness sets in and they never get followed-up and often just deleted from CRM. Or even if they are being followed up with, the business is killing the opportunity because all the prospect is getting is a “can I have a meeting” or “do you have an update” follow-up. So even if you’re not killing your opps but not nurturing them, there's a strong chance you’re killing it even if you are following up.

That is a huge waste of opportunity and it’s creating a very thin looking pipeline. 

Guess what happens then? Fear creeps in and often that leads to poor sales decisions. 

the SOLUTION

What ‘done right’ looks like

Getting your middle of the funnel right has some basic foundations to, as a primary objective, leave no opportunity left unmanaged. And to ensure when you nurture, you do so with value. 

It means getting your team working in the right way, using a nurture system that helps them work smart, qualify right, categorise data, organise themselves and prioritise deals. All of which leads to consistent follow-ups. 

But that's just the system. Your team needs the fuel too. And that fuel comes in the shape of a nurture tool kit that means you can always follow-up. 

With what? Value. Always. But how? 

With clearly defined cadence models, meaning your team can always follow-up. Follow-up right. And not put the prospect off.

Let’s also be realistic. A good system is not just the strategy, process and team alignment. It's also about the technology that makes it happen. And an appropriate use of automations is a key part of that.

But automations used appropriately, for sales good. Not sales evil. 

So that means ensuring your approach is human first sales. Leading with value, but leveraging smart tools to drive scale. 

All of this adds up to not leaving any conversation missed, mismanaged or wasted. 

That changes the messy middle to a very well defined nurture machine, creating deal flow with every prospect interaction. 

THE ACTION

Where should I start?

Creating an engine that nurtures constantly starts with the right strategy, process and culture to ensure you can build something that creates unbeatable consistency. 

From a strategic perspective, it’s about getting the right nurture strategy that comes to life as a strategic toolkit that always delivers on nurturing. 

When it comes to the process, it’s the bit that makes the middle of the funnel tick over consistently. It’s about establishing the right rhythm, operating model and clear roles and responsibilities and timing model. The thing that starts as a process but ultimately becomes an inbuilt behaviour for your team. 

To support this you need to ensure you have a view of your CRM landscape and not over complicating things and that it works hand in have with your operating model and doesn’t make life hard. 

And the final piece to begin with? The secret sauce? A culture of adding value, never giving up and oversharing value and knowhow. 

It all sounds simple. Simplicity starts with clever design. To make your sales experience simple for your prospects and flow effortlessly for your team. 

Deals don't move themselves. You need to nurture properly and never give up.

Nurturing needs to lead with value and happen through clear systemisation in your sales engine.
