How the process works

FIRST PHASE: Introductory warm-cold calls to find prospects worth pursuing. 

I work the phones.

Weak prospects noted.

Stronger candidates flagged for follow-up.

SECOND PHASE: Best prospects are developed and nurtured by routine call backs.

Again, I'm working the phones and making the calls. 

WHAT YOU LEARN: Follow-up calls uncover active selling opportunities you NEVER hear about unless your ear is on the ground!

EXAMPLE: Vendor drops ball...you jump in to prove what you can do.

FEEDBACK: My real-time follow-up calls keep you informed on account activity so you're ready when opportunity knocks.

I give you immediate feedback with full notes and clear records of each call at all stages.

YOU MONITOR ACCOUNT ACTIVITY: Withthese updates you can monitor account activity and jump in whenever a prospect is ready for a face-to-face or wants a demo scheduled or has questions best answered by you or your team.

 Frequently Asked Questions  

How do you prospect qualify?

Good prospects...weak prospects? I find out who's who by asking specific questions.

For example, "Does this interest you?" Or "When would you like me to recontact you"?

Each follow-up call fine tunes a prospect's interest level.

That's why I make prospect qualify questions part of every outsourced sales prospecting script!

• How do you keep track of who to call and when? I use a sales management program that organizes contacts. phone numbers, call back data and call histories into a single database platform.

  

• How do I know the prospects you qualify are worth MY time? With introductory cold calls I learn who's a good prospect and who's a dud. From there I make routine follow-up calls to further qualify and develop the best business development prospects.

• Have you worked your business development sales process in my specific industry? Top management will insist only salespeople with deep understanding of the markets they are selling can do sales development cold calling.

• It's myth based on ignorance rather than tested cold call business development experience.

• A good over the phone sales person can work any industry. Same goes for face  to face sales. The top producers are at home regardless of product or service they sell.

• What about voice-mail? Do you leave messages? Leaving voice mail for customers or prospects who you know well  is one thing. But for new prospects it's a waste of time --- theirs AND yours!

• When B2B sales prospecting or making follow-up calls, what do you say?   Use a script. This keeps repetitions, omissions and improper sequencing out of my pitch. They spell trouble when it comes to business development phone prospecting.

• What size call list do you need to get started? Keep it simple. 100 or so prospects is plenty. Quantity is good. But quality is better!
