VIDEO: The Initial Goal of A Cold Call - Find The Fit Early Or Waste Precious Selling Time

Friday, November 20 2009

Think about the intention or the end result of your prospecting efforts. It's probably not what you think.

Rather than focusing all of your energy on making the sale, first determine if there's a good fit between you, your prospect, and what you are selling.

 

Instead of feeling that the intention of prospecting is to get a sale, provide a demonstration, submit a proposal, or schedule an appointment, the initial intention of prospecting is to determine if there's a fit worth pursuing.

 

While this may sound a bit strange, closing the sale and earning the business of a prospect is not your initial goal. Instead, your primary objective is to determine whether you and your prospect are a good fit.

 

Here’s a video I did on cold calling that I recently produced with a great new company I’d like to introduce to you that’s offering some free and valuable advice to home businesses and career minded professionals.
