Outbound telesales, cold calling or telemarketing - whatever you call it, process is the professional use of the phone in sales. Here are five tips you can use to attract more business and avoid refusal or rejection.
First, you have to be prospective as always. Never have a dull moment in a working day without picking up your phone. Spending time with it can attract more new business in line. You have to be confident and be positive to persuade your prospect.
Second, before reaching to the decision-maker, the gatekeeper is the person you can talk first with. He is not the enemy so you have to be friendly, be nice and be polite in order to get through to the decision-maker.
Third, be sure to speak with the decision-maker whether it's from a small-to-medium sized business or the large company. Always close the deal with the decision-maker and not with anybody else so as not to waste time. There are some instances in the small-to-medium sized business, the decision-maker is the owner.
Fourth, you should know how to handle the perception of your prospects. Don't let them expect some promises you just made like freebies or discounts when in fact you can't actually make it. Just promise a little and do your best performance.
Fifth, always and always be prospecting. In every call, the main objective is to persuade your prospects. Of course, you have to avoid no's and hear YES more often. Don't left your phone hanging; speaking to more people is the chance of getting more sales and do not forget to schedule your follow-up calls.
