Telephone Combat Aid
#SalesChats: Episode 25
People have started to shy away from the telephone in favor of the more impersonal email and digital media. Edward van der Kleijn discusses telephone combat in this #SalesChat, hosted by John Golden and Martha Neumeister.
van der Kleijn explains:
- •How to handle salespeople’s objections to using the telephone, and where these objections come from
- Addressing the fears many salespeople have surrounding using the phone to make sales calls
- Owning yourself as a salesperson, being deliberately truthful about your role, and handling objections you might encounter to being a salesperson by owning it and sidestepping it
- Smart responses to common objections you might encounter over the phone, and how to prepare your responses so you’re ready when you inevitably encounter the objections
- How to proactively qualify a prospect and understand if they need or want what you are selling or providing
- Understanding your audience definition, and the importance of always qualifying, even if they are in your ideal target profile
- Attaching a value to yourself as a salesperson, and talking as equals instead of presenting yourself as a subservient
- The importance of the upfront contract, and getting agreement on what is going to happen next
