BREAKING THE VOICE MAIL BARRIER

Written by C.J.Hayden, MCC


Continued from page 1
Whenever you leave a message, include some incentive forrepparttar person you are calling to have a live conversation. "I would like to introduce myself" is not a reason for prospects to talk to you. Why should they care? Tell them what it is you think you can do for them in their own unique situation. And do it in 30 seconds -- no one likes long voice mails from strangers, andrepparttar 120572 delete key is at their fingertips. Look for some connection between you andrepparttar 120573 person you are calling that you could put in your message. A mutual acquaintance, membership inrepparttar 120574 same association, or having attendedrepparttar 120575 same event are all worth mentioning. If you have seen them speak, or read about them inrepparttar 120576 news, compliment them on it. Be warm, friendly and upbeat, so your message is a pleasure to listen to. If you have called, left messages, and still can't get through torepparttar 120577 person you want, send an e-mail. Many people will quickly respond to e-mail because it is easy. If you can interest them in what you have to offer (without revealing allrepparttar 120578 details), they may be willing to set up a phone appointment with you to find out more. When you don't haverepparttar 120579 person's e-mail address, try finding it onrepparttar 120580 company's web site or askingrepparttar 120581 receptionist. Should you ever stop calling? That depends onrepparttar 120582 value ofrepparttar 120583 potential sale. A $1000 sale might only be worth two or three calls to you, but a $10,000 sale would certainly pay for many more. Every salesperson has a story about a customer who finally said yes afterrepparttar 120584 17th phone call, so if it seems worth it, don't quit!
