Posted October 22, 2015

Want to dramatically increase your phone chops?

Want to do it in a way that you aren’t losing actual selling time?

Consider this super simple exercise.

At the start of your day, call your voicemail and leave yourself a message.

This message could be the actual opening statement you use when calling a prospect.

An actual voicemail

Perhaps some talking points for a specific call you have coming up

Keep it 30 seconds or less.

Do the same thing at the end of your day.

Total time spent so far: 60 seconds

At some point during your day, take 1 minute to evaluate your voicemail.

Pretend you are the person receiving that call.

Make a few quick “notes to self” on what you’ll do differently tomorrow.

Spend no more than 1 minute per call.

Total time spent: 3 minutes.

Rinse and repeat for the rest of your career you humble student you!

The Funny Thing About 3 Minutes A Day

It adds up!

1 week = 15 minutes of practice

1 Month = 1 hour of practice

1 Year = 1 1/2 days of practice and . . .

1 1/2 days more than both you and your competitor are doing right now!

When Was The Last Time You Worked On Your Phone Skills?

We just announced the dates for our new online course Prospect Like A Pro!

There are 6 killer sessions that will help you bring your game up a notch or 3.

Here’s a partial list of what we’ll be covering . . .

  • How to find the time to make more calls WITHOUT working an extra minute
  • How to get more warm referrals than you typically experience
  • How to find potential clients with a 400% higher probability of buying
  • How to craft an objection resistant opening
  • How to “ditch the pitch” and create conversations that make an impact
  • How to overcome nervousness and call reluctance
  • How to overcome 10 common objections (I include word for word templates)
  • How you can leverage “Send me your information” to your advantage
  • How to leave a better voicemail and get more call backs

As part of the early registration promo, I’m throwing in a special one on one coaching session.

During this session, you and I will test your opening statement and then do some serious sparring. I’ll offer tips, guidance and then send you a recording of our call so you can step back and hear yourself.

To get a session by session break down, click HERE but do it soon because the FREE sparring session and $100 savings ends ends soon!

For special rates (and extras) on 2 or more participants, email me an approximate number of participants. paul@yoursalesplaybook.com
