Intro to What Is Sales Prospecting
Sales prospecting is one of the essential aspects when it comes to sales and business development. If a company cannot correctly do sales prospecting, it'll be difficult for them to do lead generation and close deals. And if you are in a sales development or business development role, this is an absolute must-have skill to succeed in any b2b sales environment.

What Is Sales Prospecting?
Sales Prospecting is the act of identifying potential customers and generating appointments with intentions to close a sale. You'll be making lists of companies you'd like to work with and using different channels like cold email, LinkedIn, and cold calling to do lead generation.

Defining Your Ideal Customer Profile
Now successfully do B2B sales prospecting, you must first identify your ideal customer profile. Who would be the perfect fit to purchase your product or service. You'll want to use variables like Industry, Pain, and Pleasure to find your IDC.

Outbound Sales Prospecting
Next is to do outbound sales prospecting, which is to reach out to your ideal customers. If you're a sales development rep or business development rep, you'll be cold emailing, cold calling, and connecting and sending messages to prospects.

My sales training never taught me to understand the pains or pleasures of my targeted industry. I’m guessing that was my missing link for cold calls and emails. Thank you for this!

How could I understand and get my prospect's pain:

Should I ask if they have a problem my product or service will solve?
or
Should I check their websites and social media accounts to figure out myself?

Cause if I am prospecting enterprise by sending them a cold email and not familiar with their pains, Most probably they are not gonna reply.
