Add You - Fewer Calls, More Appointments, and, Best of All, No Script!
Advertising online is very similar to advertising in any environment. You really are trying to get your message or your product out there by the most cost effective means possible.Advertising online really is unique in the sense that you have the means to advertise anywhere in the world, almost instantly.I have found through many years of advertising and research that it can get quite expensive and take many hours finding what works and what does not.However, the most effective methods of advertising I believe, happen to be through search engines. Having them index you, and paying per click seem to be the most effective methods of marketing.
Step 2: Identify your target
You can’t expect great results by using the same garbage on every company on your list, and it’s impossible to offer solutions to a company you know nothing about.
You must individually identify each prospect:
What is their business?
What is their current situ
We all have job titles. And job descriptions. These are often so clich?d that when others ask us what we do, we have grown accustomed to responding with these generic automated answers that lack real impact. Listeners find out little about what we really do or what sets us apart from competing businesses.There are ways to distinguish yourself when making introductions in those crucial networking situations. Whether you’re a cashier in a retail store or a pet groomer at a local animal salon, you can creatively affect someone’s first impression of you by considering the words that you use.Most people take a basic approach when introducing themselves. Th
You’ve planned the delivery of your message so well that you’ve anticipated your listener’s objections and can fire quick responses. Finally, you pass the infamous gatekeeper and have your chance to talk to Mr. Big. You feel so close to making that sale...
Then reality kicks in: Mr. Big gets annoyed, and before you know it, it’s all over. No appointment, no sale.
Time to pick myself up, dust myself off, and try again, you think.
But aren’t you sick of this cycle by now? Aren’t you tired of calling numerous people to gain only a handful of appointments (if you’re lucky)?
YOU can yield more appointments with fewer calls by just adding a few steps to your teleprospecting process!
Step 1: Get over yourself
The prospect you are trying to contact is not waiting for your call, so stop acting like it’s a privilege to speak with you.
Realize that you are interrupting your prospect’s very busy day. They could be doing other things besides listening to a salesperson try to sell them something that they already have or think they don’t need.
When interrupting a prospect, make it worth their while. Don’t feed them the same carefully crafted script they hear from every other salesperson. Your prospects don’t want to be sold anything. They do, however, want solutions to their business problems, and want to be more productive and more profitable. If your message doesn’t meet their need, they won’t want to hear it.
The best and easiest way to show your prospect that you have solutions is to talk about them, not you. Focusing on their company will show them that it is probably in their best interest to set up an appointment with you.

Conflict generally arises by having your needs, desires, perceptions and values challenged.When a person feels that their values are being challenged they generally respond the strongest. Inwardly they feel their personal safety threatened and desire to stop that threat.Surprisingly for most people, is that one of the reasons many attempts at conflict resolution fail is the desire to keep emotion out of the equation. People will look at content and make a decision on how to proceed with the conflict but want to disregard emotions. However, how we feel about our values and the emotional aspects of the conflict is of a very high importance.Whe

Step 2: Identify your target
You can’t expect great results by using the same garbage on every company on your list, and it’s impossible to offer solutions to a company you know nothing about.
You must individually identify each prospect:
What is their business?
What is their current situation?
Who is the real decision maker?
What are their likely buying motives?
You can find the answers to these questions by speaking with the gatekeeper, a program administrator, or, if all else fails, someone from their sales staff (salespeople are born to talk and will tell you everything you need to know!).
The more you know about your prospect, the better chance you will have at talking about their company intelligently and thinking of original, personalized solutions. This will increase your chances of staying on the phone longer, making that appointment, and eventually making the sale.
Step 3: Engage the prospect
After some preliminary research about the company and the decision maker, your next step is to find way to effectively get their attention.
If you’re able to speak with the prospect over the phone, try asking them interesting questions about their business, their company, their needs, anything that keeps them engaged in the conversation. Again, the only way to engage your prospect is to talk about them and things that relate to them.
Don’t forget that there are several ways into an office: fax machine, snail mail, e-mail, telephone. Don’t just settle with one method! If a phone conversation isn’t possible, leave voicemails that will capture their attention! Use all the mediums available to you in different and engaging ways that complement each other and prompt your prospect to get in touch with you.
Be persistent! Continuously give these engaging pieces to the decision maker, while also following up with them over the phone. Don’t give up! Your next call may be the one that gets through and leads to the appoint
