Cold Calling Tips March 26th, 2007Cold calling tips are great as long as you use them! Make sure to implement this tip into your sales arsenal to bring in lots of hot prospects.
If you’re sick of wasting your time cold calling or you simply want to supplement your cold calling efforts then you need to be using the newest techniques. You need to be using the power of email!
Email is such a common tool that it is often ignored…especially in the field of selling. The Next time you try to get a hold of someone try sending an email instead of dialing that phone.
Email has many benefits over cold calling. The most major benefit is that your prospect can view your email when they have the time and it’s not going to interrupt their day like a cold call does. It also allows your prospects to save your email and get back to you at a later date if they need to contact you at a more convenient time. A cold call doesn’t do that.
So what do you need to do?First you need to get the email addresses of your potential prospects so you can use them. This is very simple. Just about every business card you see these days has an email address on it. To collect emails you could also visit multiple businesses every once in awhile to collect business cards that will fill your list of prospects to email. You can even purchase a list from a list broker of targeted prospect’s email lists for fairly cheap if you want to save even more time.
After you obtain your prospect’s email address you need to write your message. Write only one message for your list of prospects. But also make sure to personalize each one before sending them out.
You want to make your emails personal yet professional. Greet them by their name, introduce yourself and get right into your message so as not to waste their time. Don’t make it sound stuffy like your company’s typical marketing. Write the email as if you are telling a friend about your great product or service. You must write so the person reading it is engaged and can see how it benefits them. Then to close the email you need a specific call-to-action and a reason why they should respond. This is specifically telling your prospect what to do next and what reward they will receive. You could have them call you, fax you, or email you back to get free information or a free gift.
Don’t underestimate this method any longer. You will get a much greater response from this then you ever would from cold calling strangers.
