Most sales reps do cold calls all the time. Yet they’re all doing it all wrong. You’ve probably heard them give excuses of the kind “cold calls is a numbers game”. “You have to make 100 calls to actually get a sales meeting”. “just keep dialing and eventually you’ll find customers”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet it doesn’t have to be that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Let’s reflect on our experience<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever had someone call you an try to sell you something? What did you think? What was your reaction? I know. You just wanted to get him off the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you hear a monotonous telesales rep delivering a high-speed speech which he thinks will make a sale, you tend to not even listen to his words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how can you make a sales call?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The secret: don’t make the high-speed sales pitch right away, or ever. Make it a conversation! Whatever the sales rep is saying, all that we hear is just “HEY, I’M HERE TO SELL YOU SOMETHING! I’LL KEEP TALKING UNTIL YOU BUY!”. Adhere to the guidelines below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INTRODUCE YOURSELF<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

It’s so simple! Why start mumbling instead of starting a real conversation? And for a real conversation, the person on the phone needs to know who you are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So say: “Hi, this is David.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait a second, and introduce yourself further: “I’m calling from Yoman.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After another second: “We help you make more sales with our seamless easy-to-use spreadsheet. Is it a good time for a quick chat?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have him committed<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

It’s very important to have your potential lead committed to your conversation. You do that by saying the above question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the next post, we’ll also cover how you can get into the right state-of-mind and use the right tone of voice when talking to your prospect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
