BRX Pro Tip: Creating a Prospecting Machine

Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome back to Business RadioX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, a very important aspect of our work is having a prospecting machine. I know you and I are big fans of systems and processes. Talk a little bit about creating a prospecting machine.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:22] Sure. A prospecting machine for our purposes is an elegant system that helps you build relationships with your ideal prospect. And at Business RadioX, we feel like we have that kind of machine. And what we do is we reverse engineer radio shows to help our clients serve, nurture and build relationship with the people who matter most to them.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:46] So, at first, what we do is we get clarity on who that ideal prospect is. And then, we have systems in place that help us meet those people, connect with them, invite them on a show, serve the heck out of them, give them important content that they can share and repurpose. And then, that enables us and our clients to have those relationships, so that at some point down the road, they become top of mind because they are a go-to person in that niche, and that those people want to do business with our clients and us.

Lee Kantor: [00:01:17] So, we have that prospecting machine that we’ve built over the many years that we’ve been doing this. And I recommend that everybody kind of think about that in terms of their business. What kind of prospecting machine can they build in order to help them meet the people they have to meet and serve the people they have to serve in an efficient and effective manner?

Stone Payton: [00:01:40] Well, I’ll tell you what I particularly enjoy about having a repeatable process and a transferable tool for prospecting to have something that systematized. As a salesperson, I think it lets me have a more appropriate and productive demeanor and mindset in the sales process because I’m not so hungry for that one individual sale. I can genuinely focus on trying to serve that prospective client. And if for whatever reason, it’s not a good fit, I have a machine that will generate additional prospects tomorrow, the next day, and the day after. So, it’s a real confidence builder for me. I think it serves me as the salesperson. But ultimately, as a result, I think having that prospecting machine is actually serving the market every bit as much. You know what I’m saying?

Lee Kantor: [00:02:31] Absolutely. It just takes all the stress out of your day and out of your work. You’re focusing on serving. It doesn’t matter if this one’s a sale or not. You know that tomorrow, there’s going to be another one. So, it allows you to really live into most people’s mission of trying to make an impact and make a difference every day.

BRX Pro Tip: Creating Your Ideal Prospect Profile

Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome back to BRX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, let’s talk a little bit about creating your ideal prospect profile.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:09] Right. It’s critically important to choose who the right people that you want to serve are. And you’ve got to really get clarity on who they are, what they look like, where do they hang out, and things like that, but it’s important. And we do a really good job of this, I think, when we’re doing a sales call to get to the point of we ask the question, who writes you checks? What does that person look like? What does the ideal client look like for you? And then, just get clarity on that, because a lot of times, superficially, people think, “Oh, I can sell to anybody.” And it’s like, yeah, maybe you can sell anybody, but where are most of your clients right now?

Lee Kantor: [00:00:47] And then, try to get kind of a 360-degree view of that person. Obviously, who they are, title, job title, industry, where do they hang out, what groups are they members of, what associations are they part of, who refers business to them? Like try to go layers deep. What do they want to be known for? What’s kind of an emotional driver for them? What does a win look like for them? And how can you help them do that? Who are their influences? Like who influences them? What blogs do they read? What kind of books do they read? What articles? Magazines? Where do they get them? What podcasts do they listen to?

Lee Kantor: [00:01:27] I want to know everything about this person. And that way, I know where to show up, and when to show up, and who I can introduce them to that will benefit them. So, you want to kind of get layers deep and get as clear as possible on who that ideal prospect is and serve the heck out of.
