    How to Run a Sales Blitz and Revive Cold Leads (Ask Jeb)

    How do you run an effective sales blitz, and what's the fastest way to reconnect with cold leads you've already written off? In this episode of Ask Jeb on the Sales Gravy Podcast, Jeb Blount answers two questions: Chris asks how to structure a sales blitz across existing customers and new logos, and Lindsay asks for Jeb's number one piece of advice for reconnecting with cold leads. Jeb's answer to Chris starts with a simple truth: a blitz on existing customers should take about 30 days, no longer. You already know who they are and where they are, so the only thing standing between you and results is picking up the phone. New logos take more structure: build a targeted list by persona, company size, and likelihood to buy, assign a closing goal per rep, and run a focused 30 day sprint with daily call targets and twice weekly accountability check ins before rotating to the next product. For Lindsay, Jeb's advice is easy: you revive dead leads by calling them. He backs it up with real numbers, including a rep who made 11 dials, reached 10 people, and turned four into pipeline opportunities from a completely random list, plus a story about a commercial kitchen equipment company that revived a dead deal into a multi restaurant order just by calling to check in. What You'll Learn: Why a 30 day blitz outperforms a 90 day blitz for existing customer campaignsHow to build a targeted new logo list using persona, company size, and buying likelihoodWhy leaders need to give reps the exact list, exact script, and exact call target instead of a vague directive to "go blitz"How twice weekly accountability check ins keep a blitz from losing momentumWhy picking up the phone still outperforms every other reactivation tactic for cold and closed lost leadsHow one rep turned 11 random dials into 4 pipeline opportunities in 20 minutesWhy you should be calling closed lost deals from months or years ago, not just recent onesHow a single reactivation call turned an old dead deal into a multi location order Whether you're planning a product launch blitz or sitting on a pile of cold leads you've written off, this episode gives you a clear, practical framework for turning both into revenue. - Submit your question: salesgravy.com/ask Purchase Jeb Blount's new book: 90 Days to Level Up Your Sales Skills Grab your tickets for OutBound Conference Follow Jeb Blount on LinkedIn Our Sponsors: * Check out Plaud AI and use my code JEB for a great deal: https://www.plaud.ai/jeb * Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code SALESGRAVY for 20% off your entire order: https://www.trudiagnostic.com * Go to https://OmahaSteaks.com and use promo code BEEF at checkout for $35 off.

    Jeb Blount on Why You're Losing Deals to Customer Service Fires (Ask Jeb)

    If you're not prospecting because you're too busy putting out customer fires, you have a priorities problem. In this episode of Ask Jeb on the Sales Gravy Podcast, Jeb Blount answers a question from Steven in Texas, who lost deals in his pipeline because he was spending too much time servicing existing customers instead of prospecting and closing. Jeb's core message: you can never let go of owning the customer relationship, but you have to let go of owning every customer problem. When you become the help desk instead of the salesperson, you stop scaling yourself and your pipeline dries up. Jeb breaks down how to shift from being the chief problem solver to being the quarterback, coaching your support team to fix issues while you hold them accountable through consistent follow up, all without damaging the relationships that keep your business and referrals coming. What You'll Learn: Why the tension between customer service and prospecting is a choice of priorities, not an unavoidable cost of doing businessHow trying to personally fix every customer issue quietly empties your pipelineThe difference between owning the customer relationship and owning the customer's problemHow shifting from "chief problem solver" to "quarterback" lets you scale as a salespersonHow to coach your support team to find solutions instead of solving everything yourselfWhy a disciplined follow up system is what actually protects your customers and your dealsHow to hold your support team accountable while still investing in the relationship with them- Submit your question: salesgravy.com/ask Purchase Jeb Blount's new book: 90 Days to Level Up Your Sales Skills Grab your tickets for OutBound Conference Follow Jeb Blount on LinkedIn Our Sponsors: * Check out Plaud AI and use my code JEB for a great deal: https://www.plaud.ai/jeb * Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code SALESGRAVY for 20% off your entire order: https://www.trudiagnostic.com * Go to https://OmahaSteaks.com and use promo code BEEF at checkout for $35 off.
