Sharing a customer success story is a powerful way to convince a contact to make an introduction to the decisionmaker, as it demonstrates the value and credibility of the sales rep’s solution. A customer success story should include the following elements: the customer’s challenge, the solution they implemented, and the results they achieved. The sales rep should also tailor the story to match the contact’s industry, role, and pain points, and highlight how the solution can help them achieve their goals. By sharing a customer success story, the sales rep can create a sense of urgency and curiosity in the contact, and motivate them to introduce the sales rep to the decision maker who can benefit from the solution as well. References:
