Have you noticed that the old "proven" cold calling techniques that have been successful once had completely lost their effectiveness over the years? They no longer work.
But many sellers are still using them because that's all you know. They work, it is effective cold calling old mentality. And they make the same mistakes again and again.
I would like to talk about 4 cold calling mistakes of the old classic traditional approach, which will put you on the wrong track if you're not careful.
1. Delivered a solid, not enthusiastic sales
People are almost always "pay" by sales of Hamas, especially when it comes from someone they do not know.
You see, a strong sales pitch, including tacit assumption that the product or service is an ideal choice for someone else. But think about it. Was much unless you talk to them before a conversation. You may not know much perhaps at this stage.
Them, and you're just a salesperson wants them to buy something. Thus, the walls go up.
It is much better to take small you know very little about your prospect. Invited to share some of their concerns and challenges you. And allow them to steer the conversation instead of your strategy before ordination or height.
2. Your goal is to always make the sale
When cold calling your target is always to make the sale, the prospects of achieving your agenda. Almost immediately, they are on the defensive. After all, you're primarily focused on yourself as you are, and sell - not them.
In the old traditional mindset, you advance the hope of getting a sale. You convince, persuade and move forward.
But most cold calls pause for a moment the other person feels this pressure sales.
Why? Because they do not know you, and they do not believe you.
Thus, the commercial dynamism that you try to create a game in fact lead to skepticism and resistance. They try to protect themselves against the "intruder" potential with what they see as a program for their own benefit.
Instead, you can approach cold calling different view. Maybe your goal to find out if you are able to solve the problem to someone else.
When you become solver, and it feels very different from the person to whom you speak. You do not release. You connect to 100 percent of your thoughts and energy focused on their needs, rather than focusing on making a sale.
3. Focus on the end of the conversation - and that's when the sales are lost
If you think you lose sales because you made a mistake at the end of this process, you are looking in the wrong direction. He added that most of the errors at the beginning of cold calling conversation.
You see, it is first of all to provide you if you are honest and trustworthy. If you started your cold call with a pressure sales pitch high, then you've probably lost the other in a few seconds.
When you follow a sales script, strategy, or a presentation, then you can not trust natural conversation in evolution. And had a "problem" instead of your first. And therefore a place to put all your attention at the beginning of cold calling, and not the end.
4. Face and overcome all objections
Programs more traditional sales spend a lot of time with a focus on overcoming objections. But these tactics only put more pressure on your sales prospect, which is called resistance. And also you do not understand or to explore the truth behind what is said.
When you hear "We do not have a budget," or "Call me in a few months", you can find out the truth by replying, "and this is not a problem."
And then, using gentle, dignified language, you can invite them to discover the truth about their situation.
Stay away from the sale of the old mentality and try this new way of approaching your cold calling. You'll find yourself to be more natural, and others will respond to you in a more positive way.
