THERE ARE 2 WAYS
TO GET IN THE DOOR.
The Old Way
To Get In The Door.
The New Way
To Get In The Door.
Introducing Market Command.™
The ultimate in market coverage.
Hit and Run
Because most call center programs are out of touch with market buying cycles, they
often fail to secure major purchase and supply contracts.

That’s because their approach is typically “Hit-and-Run.” They’ll randomly go through long
lists of companies hoping to “hit” someone at the right time. And if the contact isn’t in the
right part of a buying cycle, they’ll “run” away and move on, leaving a possible valuable
prospect behind.

Hit and Miss
But even a “hit” can turn into a “miss,” especially if the contact’s lead-time for buying
is 60 to 90 days—or 3 to 6 months—and already has a preferred solution or vendor.
(What looks like a “hit” may really just be a prospect justifying a decision made well
before they were contacted.)
I personally have had a
high degree of success with the
appointments your team set up for
me. I would estimate about 60% to
80% of the appointments I have
gone on, turn into real potential
pipeline for our products. In
addition, I have been exposed to
accounts I didn’t know existed.

Soft Sell not Hard Sell.
Companies don’t buy expensive products and services every day. So we
take our time developing a trusting relationship with your contacts by
staying in touch with them for months and even years in some cases.
We don’t believe in pushing for an outcome and risking alienating
the contact.
When the time is right and their needs mature, then—and only then—will
we arrange your first meeting with them. Not before.
Of course, if you need to set up meetings sooner, we
can certainly accommodate your accelerated schedule.
FIRST:
We don’t ask for the lead, the appointment,
or the online demo. We ask questions.
Understanding WHO your contacts are and
what they NEED is key.
We ask:
• What they have (and what they don’t).
• How they do what they do.
• What’s working for them (and what isn’t).
• What their plans and initiatives are.
• When they want to implement them.
SECOND:
Over time, information giving and
gathering creates friends.
Relationships are a two-way street. Give and take. We send
them information, they let us contact them every three or four
months with a non-threatening, no-pressure phone call.
Little by little, we find out who they are. For example, we learn
more details about their initiatives; get news about an employee
at another location who may be planning something, etc.
The point is, our—and your—network grows.
In time, a more trusting relationship develops.
THIRD:
Trust turns into initiatives.
Initiatives turn into meetings.
As trust develops, initiatives take shape.
When it’s time for the meeting, the prospects will be ready.
In fact, we’ve found that in many cases, the prospects will
ask for the meeting themselves. They’ll want you to help them
arrive at a solution, write specs... you get the idea.
No, you won’t have to wait a year before
you get your first meeting.
Timing is everything.
We know when people want to be contacted.
Some now. Some later.
If you want to cover the market more quickly, we can ask for
the meeting sooner, as long as we sense that the timing is good.
If it isn’t, we’ll back off and stay in touch periodically.
Once you’ve had your introductory meeting, we can still stay in
touch from time to time until another meeting is appropriate.
It’s up to you.
Every contact and conversation is documented.
You can see the number of contacts and initiatives grow.
And you can track these initiatives from first
conversation to maturity.
The Market Command™ program is ideal for:
• Enterprise software—financial, business intelligence, business
process, factory automation, content management, CRM, ERP.
• Capital equipment—robotics, CNC, medical diagnostic and
imaging, production and packaging machinery, IT and
telecommunications systems.
• Services—transportation and logistics, IT/telecommunications,
machining, fabrication, group health insurance.
York is very aware of the product positioning, so they don’t need extensive training. York employs a
much better quality of person than one would find at a more basic call center. They are quite comfortable
speaking with management levels or higher and handling conversations even if they fall off script.

• Current systems and processes.
• Budgeting process and criteria.
• Contract expiry and review dates.
• Satisfaction with current vendors.
• Problems, concerns, and initiatives.
Here’s how Market
Command™ helps you
gain insight into
your prospect’s:
When “Hit and Run” still works.
Of course, there are still times when York Consulting’s
more traditional lead generation and appointment setting
approach—like “hit and run”—works best.
Especially if you’re a company with:
• Shorter sales cycles.
• Lower purchase prices.
• Single decision makers.
• A new product you want to introduce.
• Plans to quickly move into new markets or territories.
By updating contacts and recording their
changing needs, Market Command makes sure
they—and you—stay connected.
York Consulting will stay in touch with your smaller customers,
and place “revival calls” to contacts who have become inactive.
As a result you will:
• ACQUIRE more business from existing customers.
• REDUCE customer attrition.
• RENEW contacts with customers who may otherwise
have been lost.
• INCREASE short-term revenue as new long-term
prospects mature.
Market Command lets you get
the whole picture:
• Which companies are important to you.
• Who your contacts are.
• What they’re doing now.
• What they want to do in the near and distant future.
Market Command is unique
in every sense of the word.
Market Command is backed up by York Consulting’s own
proprietary “Super CRM” that’s specifically designed to
manage the entire process from the first call onward.
What about your EXISTING customers?
Look at your customer list. You know who your best customers are. But what about the many smaller
customers you may not know who are too small for you to regularly stay in touch with? What’s the risk of
losing them to competition? Are they not buying more from you because they don’t know all you have to offer?
Look at your accounting system. It will show how many customers haven’t bought anything in the last
year or two, or even longer. Do you know why? Did they switch to a competitor because no one from your
company was able to stay in touch?
Why settle for the old way
of getting in the door?

I called in and all three were waiting
for my call. Well done York! They were very
impressed with our Business Development
group (that’s York), in that there was no
pressure to sell anything – just wanted to
have a discussion. We would have never come
across this one from our own efforts.
