Meet face-to-face, or just by phone?

Making your first phone contact with the Prospect is a vital element of face to face sales marketing. here are some suggestions those may you need. brought to us by cydcor.

-Get the person on the phone, get to the point, then get off the phone. Think of this initial call for an appointment as the “Call-up, fix-up,hang-up.” That is, The Prospects you phone during the business day are going to be involved in other work as you call, and usually will not have the desire or the time to get tied up in an extended phone conversation. Besides, every minute that you’re on the line raises the odds of another interruption coming in, so get to the point and complete your objective before you’re bumped. Go to cydcor for further informations.

This first phone contact is not the place to try to make your case.You can only lose the sale, but not make it, over the phone.Notice that this “Call-up, fix-up, hang-up” phase of the selling cycle does not include “Sign-up,” because, no matter how much you say, or how great the discounts you offer, you cannot make the sale over the phone.But—a big but—you can talk yourself out of the chance of meeting face-to face, and hence out of making the sale altogether. When it comes to the telephone, the less said the better.

-Once you have the Prospect on the phone, aim to accomplish three key tasks within the first 30 seconds.This is a business call, not a social call, so in most cases it’s best to get right to business. You are most likely to have the Prospect’s full attention during the first half-minute of the call, so use those 30 seconds productively by getting on with these three essential tasks:

#Introduce yourself and your company.

#Excite the Prospect’s interest in meeting with you to find out more.

#Ask the Prospect to meet at a specific time.

“Excite” and “interest” are both key words. In your short phone statement, focus on what you can do for the Prospect, not the details of what your product or service is.The object at this point is to whet the Prospect’s interest, not to satisfy it. After all, if you satisfy the Prospect’s interest over the phone, then there is no need for her to meet face-to-face. Go to cydcor for further informations.

-Make it clear at the start of the call if you are following up at the request of this Prospect, or if you are acquainted from another context. One of the best tools for exciting the Prospect’s interest in meeting with you is a referral from someone they know and respect, or who has similar job responsibilities in another firm).
