To implement these templates, simply select a question and post it as a standalone thread or as part of your daily engagement routine. You can add a personal touch by answering first or tagging a few active members. Rotate the topics to keep things fresh and relevant, and encourage members to elaborate on their choices when possible. For extra engagement, share results or highlight interesting responses in follow-up posts.
Since these templates are designed for all platforms, keep your prompts short and easy to read on mobile and desktop. Use platform features like polls, stories, or reactions to add variety. Always monitor responses and jump into conversations to maintain momentum.
To engage your community around real-world sales challenges, craft This or That prompts like 'Overcoming price concerns vs. highlighting ROI' or 'Addressing urgency vs. addressing trust.' Such scenarios encourage members to share their preferred objection-handling techniques, deepening industry-specific engagement and surfacing new tactics.
Absolutely! Frame prompts such as 'Assumptive close or summary close – which gets you better results and why?' Encourage members to cite specific sales situations, client types, or deal sizes where each technique excels. This targets the nuanced decision-making sales closers face and drives knowledge sharing.
Segment your prompts by sales process stages: for example, 'Discovery questions vs. qualification questions – which yields more actionable info?' or 'Negotiating on price vs. negotiating on terms?' This specificity resonates with closers actively navigating deals and promotes tactical discussions.
You can boost tool-focused engagement with prompts like 'CRM automation vs. manual follow-ups for closing deals' or 'Using LinkedIn Sales Navigator vs. Salesforce Opportunity Stages – which drives more closed-won deals?' Encourage members to share platform-specific hacks and outcomes from their own pipelines.
Tackle debates with prompts like 'Discount to close vs. maintain pricing integrity – which aligns with long-term client growth?' Set clear community guidelines for respectful discourse and encourage sharing of context (e.g., enterprise vs. SMB sales) so members learn from diverse experiences rather than polarizing opinions.
Integrate metrics into prompts, such as 'Focus on win rate vs. average deal size when closing?' or 'Prioritize pipeline velocity vs. deal margin?' This approach resonates with data-driven sales professionals and stimulates debate on which KPIs best measure effective closing strategies.
