How To Experience Less Rejection While Cold Calling

Posted February 21, 2020

Imagine if your car broke down on the highway and I pull up in my “Paul’s Repair Service” truck.

How Likely would you be to reject me?

And while we’re at it;

How likely would you be to utilize my services immediately?

Wouldn’t it be great if we could find prospects with that type of urgency?

The good news is that we actually can when we find “Trigger Events”

A “trigger event” is something that’s going on in your potential client’s world, that leads to a higher probability of them needing what you sell, right now!

Example: You sell printing and you notice that a company is relocating.

That’s a “trigger event” because they’ll probably need to update their collateral with the new address.

For me, a trigger event could be a company that’s hiring sales reps.

Those sales reps need to be trained and guess what I sell?

Here are a few generic “trigger events” to get you thinking;

Companies that are hiring, changes in company strategic initiatives, events, earnings good or bad, product launches, online reviews, PR news releases.

How about a new decision maker, a company that just completed a successful round of funding, mergers and acquisitions, restructuring, resizing, changes in legislation, etc?

There’s obviously more we can add to this, so here’s your homework assignment;

Think about the “trigger events” that are relevant to you and your potential clients because;

If you’d like to experience less rejection on the phone;

Start with someone predisposed to say YES!

Once you complete this step, craft your message in a way that leads with the trigger event, instead of;

Leading with your company, solution, etc.

When you lead with something relevant (like a trigger event);

You dramatically reduce the probability of someone turning you away!
