Telemarketers: Don't like them? Here's an idea for ya!By: Martin Lemieux (Smartads-Owner)
Telemarketers... ooohhh... I'll bet we've all got a nice story to tell about these guys & gals don't we?
Well here's a story i'll never forget and I'll show you how to turn a sales call into a sale for you!
So I'm sitting in my office one day and mind you at
moment I didn't have a helper to screen my call for me and don't you know it, I get a telemarketer.
See, I used to be in a few network marketing programs and I know how hard it is to get rejections on
phone. Some of us take it very personal and some just don't care. But I assert you this, whichever one you are, cold calling isn't an easy business.
When someone calls me to sell me something I will only talk to them if they too will listen to a promotion I'm offering, only fair right? You'd be amazed at how many won't listen to you so why would you listen to them?
I make it a point to tell them that my specialty is promoting and if they want to have any of my time, they will have to listen to me 1st. No exceptions.
So one day, I get this call from this really nice guy who completely understood my deal and accepted to hear what I had to say. Usually, I will pick one of my clients and and only promote that one client to
other person on
phone. Trying to promote 2 or more at a time is like road kill, you don't want to confuse
other person.
With this conversation on
phone with this telemarketer I explain to him that I have a client in
Transport industry and he deals with all kinds of shipping services. What I usually do is ask
other person on
phone if he can recall anyone who mentioned to him that they needed to ship something!!!
