Door Opening that actually opens doors!
#SalesChats: Episode 46
Door opening is very important for almost every business out there. It means that you are creating new relationships with people you don’t know and discussing the possibility of working together. Caryn Kopp discusses how to really open doors in this #SalesChat, hosted by John Golden and Martha Neumeister.
Kopp explains:
• The necessity of people to cling to their current contacts as opposed to working at creating new relationships
• The importance of targeting prospects at the right level in order to get connected with the people who can make concrete decisions
• If you don’t have the desire to network with people and create new contacts, or aren’t willing to do the job, it can be boring and tedious
• The skills required in order to be a good door opener, including listening, focus, and speaking succinctly with intent
• The kinds of messages that will get prospects to listen to you
• How to overcome objections: pre-think, prepare, and practice
• The tendency for salespeople to neglect preparation, and the importance of scheduling practice time
• The downside of qualifying success based on the quantity of leads and prospects, versus quality of leads and prospects
• Consider outside resources
• Remember that your prospects are people that need help
