Gathering prospect contact information is the best place to start for a sales representative whois asked to lead a cold-calling campaign, because it is the first step in identifying and reaching out to potential customers. The sales rep should use various sources and methods to find the names, phone numbers, email addresses, and other relevant details of the prospects who match their ideal customer profile. The sales rep should also verify and update the contact information regularly, and track the results of their calls. Identifying prospect pain points or entering prospect leads into an auto dialerare not the best answers, because they are not the first steps in a cold-calling campaign. Identifying prospect pain points is something that the sales rep should do during or after the call, by asking open-ended questions and listening to the prospect's needs and challenges.
Entering prospect leads into an auto dialer is a tool that the sales rep can use to automate and streamline their calling process, but it requires having the prospect contact information first.

When asales representative conducts a 9-month check-in and identifies an additional product that could enhance customer value and adoption, they are utilizing the customer success concept of "Innovate together." This approach involves working collaboratively with the customer to find new solutions and opportunities that can drive further success and value from the partnership. By proactively suggesting products or services that complement previous purchases, the sales rep is helping the customer to innovate and achieve better results, reinforcing the relationship and demonstrating ongoing commitment to the customer's success.

A success story is what the sales representative should use to transition to a recommendation in a way that demonstrates their ability to provide a competitive solution, because it shows the customer how the sales rep's solution has helped other customers with similar needs and challenges, and what results and benefits they have achieved. A success story can also help to build trust and credibility with the customer, and inspire them to take action. A summary statement or a solution unit are not the best answers, because they are not as effective as a success story in demonstrating the sales rep's competitive advantage. A summary statement is a brief recap of the customer's situation, needs, and desired outcomes, but it does not show how the sales rep's solution can meet them. A solution unit is a specific feature or benefit of the sales rep's solution, but it does not show how it has worked for other customers or what outcomes it can deliver.

The customer role that the sales rep should meet with to address the concernsabout a liability risk is legal.
Legal is the customer role that is responsible for reviewing and approving the contractual terms and conditions, ensuring compliance with laws and regulations, and mitigating any potential risks or liabilities.
The sales rep should consult with their own legal team and work collaboratively with the customer's legal team to resolve any issues or objections, and to finalize the agreement. References: [Sales Rep Training:

Price objections are related to the customer's perception of the value of the solution and their ability or willingness to pay for it. Return on investment (ROI) is a measure of the value that the solution provides in relation to its cost. If the customer is concerned about ROI, it means they are not convinced that the solution is worth the price or that they can afford it. The sales representative should addressthis objection by demonstrating the value proposition of the solution, highlighting the benefits and outcomes that the customer can expect, and showing how the solution can help the customer achieve their goals and solve their problems.
The sales representative should also explore the customer's budget and decision-making process, and offer flexible payment options or discounts if possible. References: Certification - Sales Representative - Trailhead,
