The CMA starts their day putting a “hot list’ of commercial prospects to hit that day, preparing appropriate literature to drop, and ensuring all previous day’s contacts and activities are loaded into the company’s CRM program and hotlist spreadsheet. They will also spend an hour or two in the morning cold calling on the phone and/or calling back past commercial prospects, leads, or clients, building relationships.
2. CMA works on company marketing literature, website, or various web pages. This ensures that the company has the right presence, wording, and/or appropriate web pages that accentuate the company’s increased ability to service the commercial market segment.
3. The Commercial Marketing Assistant will use the commercial sales items found in the SVG Commercial Sales Training system:
• SVG Commercial Contingency Agreement
• SVG Commercial Inspection Letter
• SVG Commercial Presentation Packet
• SVG Commercial PowerPoint Presentation
4. CMA would make sure these sales and marketing tools were readily available in the office and for him/herself and other sales reps.
5. CMA identifies key decision-makers of prospects and adds them to the company CRM program at the end of each day. In post-catastrophe areas, this would mean a daily, direct barrage of cold calls on all commercial facilities in the immediate storm or catastrophe area. Speed to market means everything immediately following a new storm.

6.

Commercial blitzes are best scheduled Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 am-12 pm or 1 pm-4 pm. CMA is to create a dedicated, and consistent commercial blitz schedule and post it visibly on office walls so it is visible to all other sales reps. The commercial blitz schedule should be the same times/days each week and planned the day before with commercial targets in mind. Since salespeople are typically more motivated when selling in teams, or with others, the CMA plays an integral part in creating synergy, as well as cold call training within your organization. If there are multiple salespeople, that show up for the commercial blitz, then they can take turns cold calling each large account in teams of 2. Never have more than 2 people cold call or canvass a commercial account together.
7. Once the CMA has built up a substantial commercial database of emails addresses they will devote some office time to calling back commercial prospects, sending follow-up emails to commercial prospects. They will also administer an email drip campaign to all commercial prospects promoting the contractor’s various commercial services. An email drip campaign should go into effect within 90 days of hiring the CMA. The CMA should have developed and added no less than 1,000 emails/contacts built into a database within 90 days.
8. CMA reports directly to the owner. This position is critical to helping propel the company to some large commercial jobs and even some consistent commercial sales volume over time. 9. Once the CMA lands or reaches their first $1M+ in contracted commercial sales in a calendar year, they are eligible for promotion to higher weekly pay and earn the title of Commercial Marketing Manager (CMM). 10.
