The #7 Sales 2.0 tool

In my last blog post I asked for tools that should be considered for list of top seven Sales 2.0 tools. One of the tools suggested was IntroMojo. The value of IntroMojo can be summed up in one word ‘Rapport’: The ability to have something in common with a decision maker you have never spoken to before, so you can start the relationship building process.

The Trigger Event book SHiFT! has an entire chapter on how get called first when a decision maker experiences a Trigger Event and starts the process of Searching for Alternatives. In that chapter we talk about the need for a “Psychographic Fit”: Having the similar interests, values, or aspirations as a decision maker. The challenge is how do you know the interests, values, and aspirations of a decision maker y0u have never talked to

That’s were IntroMojo comes to the rescue. The brainchild of Daniel Waldschmidt and Colin A Martin, it allows you to:

  1. Identify the right people with the names you are looking for. IntroMojo asks you a few simple questions to help you zoom in from a name to the person you need to engage with. Things like location, company, job title, industry are all clues that IntroMojo presents in helping you find the person that you want to reach.
  2. Learn all about them. Learn a decision makers background, education, and work experience. More importantly you can learn what your prospect is talking about, what books, videos, and music they enjoy, and what they like. You find out who they’re friends with, what videos and blogs they are writing, and where they engage on the web.
  3. Stay informed about what they are doing. Each time you need to engage a decision maker, check IntroMojo and it will serve up the most recent information on them. It’s new each day you check so your sales pitch can stay relevant.
