The problem that 80% of your competition is making is that they cut their prospects off and start combating their prospect's initial blow off response.The Better Way: Hear your prospect out and be prepared to agree with them by having a ｓｃｒｉｐｔed response that deals with their initial resistance. Something like:" I understand ________, and I'm not calling to sell you anything today. Rather, I'm here to see if there might be a fit between our two companies and if there is, then to offer you an additional resource you might be able to use later on. Let me ask you..."Hearing your prospect out, agreeing with them,Ugg Bucket Hat, and then offering a non-threatening value statement instantly allows your prospect to be heard, and distinguishes you from the other sales reps who are jumping all over them.2) Empathize with your prospect by asking how they are dealing with the economy.Hey let's face it,Ugg & Jimmy Choo, we're all in the same boat regarding the economy, and if you're feeling the strain, so is your prospect. Rather than try to bulldoze them, why not empathize with them and try to see things from their perspective,UGG Boots Cheap? Try:"I completely understand, how are you dealing with the economy these days?" or "I'm sure it's rough for you as well, tell me, how are you making things work in this business climate,Ugg Chestnut Classic Short?" or "I'm with you. How long have you been working in that position,Ugg Boots Leona? What changes have you had to make to survive in today's economy?"Getting your prospect talking by showing genuine interest will go a long way to building trust and credibility for yourself and your company.3) Be prepared to be positive.At the end of a phone call - no matter how short - somebody's attitude has been transferred to the other person. Unfortunately, the prospect's negative doom and gloom attitude usually infects the bottom 80%. That's why it's so hard for them to pick up the phone.The Top 20%, on the other hand, understand this, are prepared for their prospect's negative responses and attitudes, and make it their goal to enter the call on a positive note and to transfer their positive, enthusiastic attitude to their prospect by the end of the call.They do this by being prepared with positive statements they use in response to the negativity they get all day long. Things like:Prospect: "We're not spending any money on that right now."Top 20%: "Some companies aren't, but there are many who recognize that this is the ideal time to capture market share and position themselves for the economic upturn that is coming. Let me ask you this - if you saw a way to earn an immediate ROI on just a small investment, where could you clear up $_______ to take advantage of it?" or"Prospect: "In today's economy I'm just lucky to have a job!"Top 20%: "I know what you mean, and if you want to keep that job, now's the time to be proactive and show some real initiative. Here's what other managers I'm speaking with are doing to strengthen their position and even build value in their services....."By being prepared with positive statements to the constant negativity you're getting all day long, you'll not only stay positive yourself,Ugg Kensington Boots Toast, but also spread that vibe throughout the economy.
