Database Building Phone Prospecting

Me using TeleMagic, the first and many say the best CRM for the PC.

Phase One:  Introductory warm-cold calls to find prospects worth pursuing.

I do your hunting plus warm-cold calling & pre-sales qualifying with lead management & lead scoring with REAL-TIME follow-up calls for you.

Phase Two:  Best prospects are nurtured by routine call backs from me and follow-up emails from you (see my post Appointment Setting Mistake). 

Real-Time Follow-Up Calls are essential (see memo at right) for gaining trust, learning what your prospects really need and showing how your team outshines the competition.

NOTE: Voice-mail, e-mail and social media are all effective CRM...but over-used to where their messages too often are ignored (see my post "Lazy Follow-up").

WHAT YOU LEARN: With real-time CRM calls you learn 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.

Your Important  Marketing Direct Questions  Answered

George Clay
  • 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 lead generation service 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.
business development lead generation
Top management believes only experts in your specific industry can do effective business development phone prospecting. That's simply not borne out by tested cold calling experience.
  • 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!
