What Is A Call Blitz, Anyway?
A Call Blitz® with eCoast is a high-energy tele-prospecting event
that builds your pipeline and relationships through your sales
channels. Whether it’s setting appointments, generating qualified
sales leads, setting up demonstrations and assessments, inviting
prospects/customers to an event, or upselling to existing accounts,
a Call Blitz event can help you achieve your goals.
eCoast Call Blitz:
Charting A
New Mission
A Call Blitz event works hand-in-hand with our SalesDash Portal,
an intuitive web platform designed to support the entire Call Blitz
process that improves accountability and provides immediate proof
of performance for all participants. Once the event is over, only
the good contact data, or those leads generated during a blitz, get
uploaded into your existing CRM tool, eliminating any chance of
duplicating efforts.

4. Sales Enablement:
Preparing the
Flight Crew
Training In A New Orbit
How have you gone about getting your sales team ready to sell your
solutions in the past? Did you roll out a quick training program, give
them a few brochures, and hope for the best? Most internal sales
teams receive a few hours of training on a new product or service
before presenting it to customers and prospects, and a channel
partner receives even less. You may have survived with this approach
if it was with your direct sales team, but with a channel partner, who
has other suppliers’ solutions to sell, it is difficult to know if you’re
getting top of mind attention.
Practice Makes Perfect
An eCoast Call Blitz event provides the opportunity to train your
sales reps/channel partners on your solutions; you can still provide
the brochures and presentation slides, but the Call Blitz sales enablement methodology allows you to take the next step towards truly
enabling your sales channel to sell. Through a Call Blitz, your team
will get hands-on training to start positioning and selling your products and services the right way, while you monitor and coach them.
Set Them On Autopilot
Sales people sell what they know. Long after the Call Blitz is over,
your sales reps and channel partners will be much more effective in
positioning your solutions because they know how to navigate the
rugged terrain.

Measure the Blast with the SalesDash Portal
The Call Blitz SalesDash Portal was specifically developed to allow
your sales teams to perform fast paced outbound calling, while
enabling managers to track all activity and results in real-time.
Get Immediate Proof of Performance
Instantly see which regions or teams are performing at an aggregated
level, or see who made the last appointment with the scrolling ticker
across the top of the screen. For channel managers who need to
report how MDF dollars are used, the SalesDash Portal simplifies
proof of performance reporting with their participating partners.
SalesDash Portal Works with Your CRM
The problem is most CRMs are not designed for the rapid pace of
cold calling efforts. CRM applications are primarily designed for managing accounts and opportunities through the sales cycle. During
a Call Blitz, your team uses the SalesDash Portal to turn cold leads
into opportunities. Once a new opportunity has been generated, it is
quickly uploaded to your CRM system for immediate follow up.

Your Mission
Control Team
Taking the Cold Out of Cold Calling
The good news is your team won’t Blitz alone. You’ll have a mission
control team at eCoast to train all participants on tele-prospecting
best practices and to assist with every phase of the campaign.
Additionally, your sales reps/channel partners will be calling alongside
one another, giving them the camaraderie needed to make the cold
calling experience a warm one.
Mission Preparations
•
Set Up and Event Planning: You are assigned a program
manager to walk you through the process of setting up a Call
Blitz event.
•
Agenda Creation: We help you create an agenda for the Call
Blitz day, complete with SPIFFs, meals, and time to recognize the
Top Performers.
•
Participant Enablement: We provide hands-on training to
prepare Call Blitz participants on how it works.
•
Market Guard: We assist in the assignment of calling contacts
for each participant to prevent any confusion or territory issues.

the Calling Scripts, recommended Voice Mail message, and
Frequently Asked Questions that typically come up during a Call

For Takeoff
The Importance of SPIFFS
Driving Behavior: SPIFFs (Sales Promotion Incentive Funds) can enhance competition; create a fun environment, and reward
participants and managers alike. You can use SPIFFs to drive behavior with rewards such as scratch tickets, lottery tickets, gift
cards, T-shirts, company swag or cash to encourage participants to:
•
Log into the SalesDash portal before the Call Blitz begins to strategize
•
Update call records within the first half hour of the Call Blitz or in a given time period (one hour, two hours etc.)
•
Have participants update as many records as possible over the entire duration of the Call Blitz
•
Have managers encourage their reps to make the most record updates in their territory over the entire duration of the Call Blitz
Driving Results: You will want to use your larger prizes to drive results, with rewards such as: gift cards or cash, sporting event
tickets, paid time off, happy hour with free drinks and appetizers, membership to a club, hi-tech devices (tablets, laptops, TVs).
Use these SPIFFs to drive your team to:
•
Set the most appointments over the course of the entire Call Blitz
•
Set the most appointments within a given time period (one hour, two hours, etc.)
•
Generate the most estimated pipeline
•
Manage their territory to the most appointments over the entire duration of the Call Blitz
