Accelerate Your Revenue With Virtual Selling and Service

Revenue is the life-blood of any business. However, in order to accelerate your revenue, you need to make sure your customer is happy with the product and user experience offered. These days, reviews and word of mouth make or break revenue goals, and a positive communication flow can get you good reviews. That’s why service matters—perhaps just as much— as the product you’re selling.

One clear message learned from sales data and trends, is that for sales the future is a virtual sales floor. 

In a 2020 survey by top management consulting company McKinsey, only 20% of business-to-business buyers hoped to return to traditional, in-person sales.

This stark reality is better appreciated by the fact that even industries that relied on the outside,sales-rep style model like pharmaceutical companies, share the same sentiment.

Safety is one of the reasons, amidst the pandemic. But businesses have also realized virtual selling has other advantages that make work easier and potentially save them money. Two factors stand out;

●       Ease of scheduling.

●       Cost-cutting on travel expenses.

Virtual selling and service are not likely to be mere blips on the radar or passing fads, they’re here to stay. According to CNBC, employers expect nearly 2 in 5 employees will still be working remotely at the end of 2021, compared with 57% who work remotely now

So how can your business thrive in the emerging remote workspace? 

One way is by identifying the pain points and challenges of operating in a virtual ecosystem and looking at ways of navigating those pain points.

The Pain Points of Virtual Selling and Service

Keeping Up With the Market

Marketing evolved from the notion that customers were “outside in,” and hence to reach them, sales representatives were to go out and look for them, literally. However, that outside model of sales is being upended by the transition to the virtual workspace.

And though, as CNBC states, the seismic shift does vary by industry, any business operating with an “outside in” strategy may face a significant challenge locating, reaching out, and engaging its core market.

Inadequacy of Technological Tools

Let’s take the case of softphones. They’ve been hailed for long as a must-have in the virtual workspace. But they are inadequate and fall woefully short of fully meeting the demands of a remote workplace.

While they can be a good option or add-on, they are really not complete advancements in the virtual work space. This is due to the fact that customers don’t want to be contacted just by a phone call anymore. 

Challenges of Communication and Building Relationships

Perhaps the most challenging pain point for businesses as they move to the virtual workspace is how to maintain effective team and customer communication in the absence of face-to-face meetings.

How can you ensure your in-house virtual team communicates and collaborates effectively and at the same time, engage your clients without meeting them physically? 

Luckily, Conversely can help.
