Don't Cold Call-Social Call - Fill the Funnel

Don’t Cold Call-Social Call

“Through observing what works, and what doesn’t, we’ve come up with six factors that determine whether a prospect will meet with you.

These six factors are:

  1. Your product
  2. Your message
  3. Repetition of your messagesales20-logo1
  4. Talking to the right people
  5. Using changes in your buyer’s environment
  6. Establishing relationships

I will cover eash of these factors briefly in this ebook but will focus on the last three most heavily as they are the most important ones and also the ones we can change the most in our favor using Sales 2.0 tools and techniques.”

I have interviewed several C level executives who said a year ago they would have preferred a cold call come on the phone after someone had referred the seller. Now they have changed their tune and tell me they are most apt to be receptive to a pitch when it comes through social networking.
