Don’t Open Your Calls This Way:

Nothing identifies you as a salesperson

more than:

“How are you today?”

Page 9: 5 Secrets to Successful Prospecting Over the Phone in 2012 by Mike Brooks (Mr. Inside Sales) for @datadotcom

Instead, Use the Right Opening

• “How’s your Thursday going?”

• “Is it raining there, too?”

• “Can you hear me OK?”

The One Response to Handle Initial

Resistance

“ I understand ________, and I’m not calling to sell you anything today. Rather,

I’m here to see if there might be a fit between our two companies and if there is,

then to offer you an additional resource you might be able to use later on.

Let me ask you…”

“If I could show you a way…”

“What would it mean to you if you could….”

“How important is it for you to…”

Just Send Me Your Information

“I’d be happy to email you our information.

(Prospect’s name) I have a 64 page PDF file that I

can email you, but do you mind if I ask you just a

couple of quick questions so I can only send you

that part that you’d be most interested in?”
