Now write down the typical steps in the buying process. Here's an example of what that might look like.
1. We meet someone at a NAB, find out exactly what they are interested in.
2. Secondly we send some kind of helpful information to them about the technology, the benefits, that sort of thing. This is very successful because if someone reads or downloads info on very specific topic, they have just qualified themselves as a prospect. In most cases, if a person wants detailed info about ATSC 3.0 or loudness, they are a prospect.
3. Next a demo, a data sheet, or a webinar might be typical.
4. Finally prospects meet with a sales person.
This is just a sample. Yours may have more steps. Then again, there’s no need to over complicate things, it’s fine to keep your journey simple.
It's true that everybody doesn't follow a yellow brick road of buying, but it's good to have a plan in place.
