The goal of writing a sales pitch is to catch prospective clients\u2019 attention and convince them to learn more about the company&#8217;s products or services.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 80\/20 rule, also known as the Pareto principle, <a href=\"https:\/\/edis.ifas.ufl.edu\/pdf%5CSN%5CSN00400.pdf\">states<\/a> that 20% of your company&#8217;s salespeople will generate 80% of your sales revenue. How are they closing that many deals? Let\u2019s look at best practices for writing a compelling sales pitch, so that your prospective customers get attracted by and curious about your offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Identify Buyers\u2019 Needs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first and most essential step is to conduct deep research about your target audience. Find out what chosen companies specialize in and what goals they pursue. Learn the customer\u2019s profile and background in detail as well \u2014 who they are, what their preferences are, what factors influence their behaviors (social, cultural and so on). Understand their pain and motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that your pitch should be about your customer, not your company. What values does your product offer? Is it improving efficiency, reducing costs or both? List all product features and identify the benefits each of them provides. A clear introduction of benefits is much more valuable than a simple description of features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more you know about your customers, the more likely you are to write a sales pitch that will appeal to your target audience. Understanding your buyer\u2019s needs can help build trust and highlight how your product can relieve their pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make the Pitch Personal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A trivial message sent to all prospects is the worst thing a sales rep can do. Therefore, it\u2019s important to plan how you can personalize your pitch. After you\u2019ve created a base template, you need to change it according to the media you use, clients\u2019 peculiarities, needs, goals, motivation and pain.&nbsp;<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, pitches via social media and email would be written in completely different styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n    \n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Catch Clients\u2019 Attention&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On average, <a href=\"https:\/\/copyblogger.com\/magnetic-headlines\/#:~:text=On%20average%2C%208%20out%20of,effectiveness%20of%20the%20entire%20piece.&amp;text=So%20it's%20fairly%20obvious%20that,already%20dead%20in%20the%20water.\">8 out of 10 people<\/a> will read headline copy, but only 2 out of 10 will read the rest. Therefore, it\u2019s crucial to grab customers\u2019 attention in the very beginning. Your headline shouldn\u2019t sell, but present your product or service in an attractive way so that it seems useful for prospective customers. The goal of the headline is to make them curious and willing to learn more about your offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>To write an eye-catching headline, make sure to mention the values your target audience is looking for.&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comscore.com\/Insights\/Presentations-and-Whitepapers\/2019\/Global-State-of-Mobile\">70%<\/a> of the total digital media time in the US is spent on smartphones, therefore the headline should be short and succinct.<\/li><li>Best headlines represent engagement on an emotional level, so try to connect to clients\u2019 emotions.&nbsp;<\/li><li>It\u2019s crucial to test your headlines over and over again to increase the chances of success.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Include CTA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s hard to believe, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasp.com\/blog\/its-ok-to-ask-for-the-sale-really-its-ok\/\">85% of the interactions<\/a> between salespeople and prospects end without the salesperson ever asking for the sale. Without clear instructions on what to do next, your sales pitch becomes nearly useless.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, determine what your buyers need to do. Do they need to call back or click on a link to open your website? Use precise and actionable phrases with clear instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, your sales pitch should always end with a well-written call to action.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check Grammar and Spelling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, your pitch is ready, it\u2019s now time to check grammar and spelling. It may seem unnecessary, but a lot of businesspeople pay attention to the way the copy is written \u2014 mistakes make your speech look unprofessional.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re running out of time, you can use <a href=\"https:\/\/linguix.com\/\">Linguix\u2019s grammar and spelling checker<\/a>. This AI-based writing assistant edits your writing as you type and is great for creating emails and social media messages&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Forget to Write Follow-up Emails<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.invespcro.com\/blog\/sale-follow-ups\/\">70% of salespeople<\/a> stop at one email. Nevertheless, if you send more emails, you\u2019ve got a 25% chance to hear back. Statistics don\u2019t lie, so it\u2019s crucial to write one or more follow-up emails after the sales pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wrap Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s outline the tips we\u2019ve discussed in this article:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A sales pitch that converts prospects into loyal customers should be personalized and based on target audience needs;&nbsp;<\/li><li>A proper headline defines whether clients open your email or not;<\/li><li>A clear call to action significantly increases chances of the desired conversion;<\/li><li>A grammatically correct copy looks more professional;<\/li><li>Follow-up emails aren\u2019t aggressive: 60% of customers say \u201cNo\u201d four times before saying \u201cYes\u201d.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A sales pitch is a sales rep\u2019s attempt to sell a company&#8217;s service through short and persuasive messages via social media, emails or phone calls.
