Selling to an Industry
Selling to Canoe and Kayak Rental Businesses
Most canoe and kayak rental businesses have money to spend, if they are sold to well. Product offerings, cost and dependable service are all important considerations – so businesses that sell to canoe and kayak rental businesses need to be at the top of their game.
Despite robust demand for products sold to canoe and kayak rental businesses, penetrating the market can be challenging.
For small businesses that sell to these companies, the industry's positive growth outlook makes the solid execution of fundamental sales principles more important than ever.
Role of Owners & Managers
Owners and managers should expect to be active participants in selling to canoe and kayak rental businesses. Front line visibility is essential for large accounts, but your sales team can benefit from occasional field interactions with the owner or sales manager.
By periodically accompanying your reps in the field, you gain valuable information about the market and the execution of your sales strategy.
Marketing Channels for Canoe & Kayak Rental Businesses
Although the ways in which sellers market their products are extremely diverse, there is one truth that applies to all canoe and kayak rental business marketing strategies -- no single marketing channel is capable of delivering the sales volume that you would expect to see in a leading B2B seller.
Across the industry, multichannel marketing strategies are the norm, and may include direct mail, telemarketing, print ads, email campaigns and other online strategies.
Companies that lead the industry in market share routinely purchase lead lists as a way to drive the sales process. High quality lead lists provide a high volume of leads that are up-to-date and targeted to high-converting prospects. In our experience, Experian Business Services has the largest and most accurate database of canoe and kayak rental businesses on the market.
CRM Software
CRM (Customer Relationship Management) technology is highly familiar to most B2B enterprises.
When used properly, CRM can improve your company's interactions with customers and prospects. For those who do not have a good lead management system, there's no better time than the present to get started. Companies that already use a CRM solution need to analyze their processes to make sure it is being used to its full potential.
In the B2B canoe and kayak rental business industry, the inefficient use of CRM can put your business at a competitive disadvantage.
