FYI . . .

Next to emails, the phone is easily the noisiest channel when it comes to reaching out to a potential client!

And since they are overwhelmed with the high volume of calls . . .

They have assistants filtering them

Voicemails stopping them and if you’re lucky enough to get through . . .

You’re dealing with a person who will make a really quick judgment as to whether or not you’re worthy of being heard, let alone being granted an appointment.

Sadly, less than 3% of cold calls result in an appointment!

According to a report from IBM, only about 3% of all the calls you’re making result in the appointment. If you’re like most people, you think that the old “Sales is a numbers game” philosophy fixes that when all you’re really doing is more of something that was ineffective! That’s why I thought it might be time to ROCK your phone calls with a special 90 minute webinar!

  • How to respond to typical stalls, like “Call me back next month, next year, after the holidays, next millennium etc” “Send me your information” etc.
  • A 3 step formula to help you regain control of your calls.
