How to win sales remotely

Interview with some surprises  What buyers want from sellers in the virtual age. But for me — and maybe you, too — the most remarkable segment comes 20:15 into the interview. That’s when Mike comments on phone prospecting and reaching out to buyers to introduce yourself to let them know who you are and what you do. His findings: Cold calling is not dead. The more senior the buyer you are trying to contact the more that buyer prefers you reach out by phone. Stats, research and interviews prove it’s a preferred way buyers — especially the senior buyers with more buying authority — […]

COVID-19 and telecommuting

Technology can connect you with almost anyone around the block or around the world. But there’s something unique that we humans get from interacting with one another that doesn’t come across as well through technology. In face-to-face communication, you are sharing a moment in time and space with someone. That is incredibly compelling for our ancient brains. This one-on-one “sharing a moment in time” with someone is how I approach real-time phone prospecting. It’s a moment in which you are able to connect with a prospect in a way that cuts across the technology great divide…and builds a rapport you just cannot get with even the coolest web-based technology.
