Does your sales strategy hinge on buying prospect contact lists? Do you rely on generic <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cold calls and mass marketing emails when reaching out to establishments?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s time to stop and reconsider what you\u2019re doing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The truth is, these approaches to prospecting are ineffective and inefficient. Your prospects have already heard run-of-the-mill sales pitches from a hundred different suppliers. Their inboxes are full of spam emails promoting products irrelevant to their business, and yours is just another in the pile. Why should they consider working with you?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u201cspray and pray\u201d tactic is no longer viable in an increasingly competitive world. Your time and resources are valuable, and so is that of your prospects. To cut through the noise, you need to adopt a more targeted, knowledgeable approach.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By narrowing the focus of your campaigns, you can use the same level of time and resources to personalize your messaging and connect with your audience. Your prospects will be able to tell that you have taken the time to understand their business and be more likely to listen to you. At the same time, you will be better-equipped to link your product with their business objectives and close the deal.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Embrace the power of fresh market insights<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So if quality, not quantity, is the secret sauce to prospecting success, what resources do you need to adjust your approach?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brizo FoodMetrics is a market intelligence platform with the power to transform how you target, evaluate, and qualify prospects. With over 1.9 million foodservice establishments in its database, Brizo has the data-driven insights needed to reignite your sales strategies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basic third-party contact lists provide minimal insight into each establishment. You don\u2019t know what they sell, what they need, or if they\u2019re even still in operation (lists can quickly become out-of-date). In addition, if your competitors are using the same lists, you&#8217;re all fighting over the same small subset of a much-larger market. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Brizo includes over 1.3 million verified contacts, that\u2019s only the beginning. It also offers <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/brizodata.com\/en\/harnessing-the-power-of-granular-foodservice-data-to-transform-strategic-decision-making\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">granular insights<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on everything from menu items to in-use restaurant technologies. Brizo\u2019s data is dynamic: with a monthly refresh rate, you can base your business decisions on the current market, not a static list of phone numbers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, user-friendly filters and dashboards help you sort and visualize all those rich insights. With Brizo in your prospecting toolbox, you can level up your sales strategy and supercharge your conversion rate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/brizodata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/playbook-blogbanner.png\" alt=\"Featured Resource: The Essential Guide to Marketing &amp; Selling to Restaurants\" width=\"2720\" height=\"1120\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brizodata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/playbook-blogbanner.png 2720w, https:\/\/brizodata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/playbook-blogbanner-300x124.png 300w, https:\/\/brizodata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/playbook-blogbanner-1024x422.png 1024w, https:\/\/brizodata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/playbook-blogbanner-768x316.png 768w, https:\/\/brizodata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/playbook-blogbanner-1536x632.png 1536w, https:\/\/brizodata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/playbook-blogbanner-2048x843.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2720px) 100vw, 2720px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cut the fat (and your prospecting time)\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s say you\u2019re a producer selling specific fruits and vegetables to local <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/brizodata.com\/en\/brizo-helping-lead-the-farm-to-table-movement\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">farm-to-table restaurants<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Before Brizo, you might have purchased a list of prospects without any idea how many of them have a need for your product. You probably spent time cold calling or emailing your way through the list; or, you may have wasted even more resources digging through online menus and websites, trying to determine which prospects are a match for what you\u2019re selling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With market intelligence from Brizo FoodMetrics, you can skip the generic contact list and accelerate your qualifying process. Brizo\u2019s detailed filters let you zero in on establishments who fit your ideal customer profile, leaving out less-relevant prospects that only succeed in eating up your time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you targeting local restaurants serving asparagus? Just apply a geographic boundary in Brizo and select <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">asparagus<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as an ingredient. You\u2019ll be rewarded with a list of every establishment in your region with asparagus on the menu. There are even filters for Organic, Farm-to-Table, and Locally Sourced establishments, so you can get ultra-specific with your target audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re ready, you can export verified contacts for your search results directly from Brizo. Based on the filters you&#8217;ve applied, it\u2019s highly likely that these contacts have a strong interest in locally grown asparagus. By prioritizing your prospects, you can optimize the productivity of your sales team and increase your return on investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Segmenting your market with precision-cut data slices<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now we\u2019ll dig deeper into another practical example of how Brizo can help pinpoint the best prospects for your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this scenario, imagine you\u2019re a halal meat distributor in Pennsylvania.

The most common halal meats are beef, lamb, and chicken. However, if the focus of your current campaign is to increase beef and chicken sales, you can add filters for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">beef or chicken<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to hone in on restaurants with these ingredients on the menu.<\/span><\/p>\n<pre><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Filter applied:<\/strong> Ingredients (Meat &amp; Poultry) = <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beef or Chicken<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> |<\/span> 398 results<\/pre>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You decide to approach large chains in a separate sales campaign and concentrate on smaller <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/brizodata.com\/en\/unlocking-independent-operators-how-market-data-connects-you\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">independent operators<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> right now.
