Marketing Direct B2B Phone Prospecting Frequently Asked Questions  

George Clay

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.

    Want more customers? Make real-time follow-up calls part of your sales process.
  • 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 outsourced sales prospecting 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.
Marketing direct b2b phone prospecting
Top management believes only experts in your specific industry can do effective outsourced sales 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!
