I HATE Cold-Calling
My Marketing Plan - Week 2 - Is there a way I can avoid cold calling?
You know the drill. You pick up the phone and start calling agents, CPAs or builders. You don't get through. You get voicemail. Or, worse, you get your prospect on the phone and they don't want to talk to you. "Tom, thanks for the call. But I already have a loan officer. (Click)." And that's a civil one. A few rejections like that, and I start to question what I am doing. In my mind, before I even dial I am getting rejected.
Boy. That's what I want to do today.... NOT!
Triggering Call Reluctance
What I just did was trigger my own call reluctance. Now I am afraid or unwilling to make further calls, even though I know that this is the ONLY way I will start creating new relationships. We are told we HAVE to push out of our comfort zone. Most people I know, including myself, don't want to do this and will avoid it. The result is predictable - sales failure.
Comfort Zone Selling
The key to pushing out of your comfort zone is to take small steps to creating new comfort zones around your prospects. For me the first step in getting over call reluctance with new prospects is to NOT MAKE COLD CALLS. Instead, I make "follow-up" calls. I send my prospect a very short letter saying I think I have something to offer them. Then I tell them that I will follow up with them within the next couple of weeks.

PRESTO! No cold-calls! When I pick up the phone and call to try and get a face to face meeting, I am following up on the letter I sent.
The intro letter is just the first in a series of between 6 and 10 letters I'll send designed to allow me to follow up.
The next step? Making the calls!

ReplyDeleteHello everyone, I'm Patricia Sherman in Oklahoma USA right now. I would like to share with you my experience of borrowing USD $185,000.00 to clear my bank draft and start a new business. It all started when I lost my house and I took my stuff because of the bank policy and I met some bills and some personal needs. So I became very desperate and started looking for funds in every way. Fortunately for me, a friend of mine, Linda told me about a credit company firm, I was intrigued by the fraud, but I was intrigued by my situation and had no choice but to get advice from my friend about this company. contacting them really doubted me because of my past experience with online lenders, did you know that little? '' Elegantloanfirm@hotmail.com This company has been very helpful to me and my colleague and today, thanks to this credit company, the proud owner of well-organized work and responsibilities, they smiled back at me. So if you really need to grow or start your own business, or if you really need to borrow money in any financial hardship, we recommend you find a financial development opportunity in your business today. {E-mail:} Elegantloanfirm@hotmail.com / whats-app number +393511617486.... online for credit not a victim of scam Thank you.
