Sorry Inc., but Your Stereotype of Cold Calling is All Wrong

By

“To bypass voice mail, cold callers began using auto-dialers … Auto-dialers however, always have a slight lag, making it obvious to the person being called that they’re being auto-dialed. Most people (consumers and businesspeople alike) simply hang up.” - Excerpt from com column written by Geoffrey James, Contributing Editor Don’t you hate stereotypes? We all say we do. Yet, at some point, everyone falls back on them. Inevitably we lump everyone working in certain professions into homogenous masses, with the same characteristics and ethics (or lack thereof). Think used car salesmen – what immediately comes to mind? Hey, we’re only human, after all. But few of us have a national bully pulpit such as Inc. magazine to dispel wisdom. When a columnist for a major business … [Read more...]

Hey Inc., Why the Cold Shoulder for Cold Calling?

By

“The general lack of confidence in the news media as an institution aligns with findings last fall that showed trust in the mass media at an all-time low.” -       Quote from June 28, 2017, article on Gallup.com by Art Swift Recent public polling indicates that, on average, barely one in four Americans expresses high confidence in the media. They just don’t believe what they read or hear. Reasons “why” vary. The big takeaway is that skepticism abounds regarding content from “traditional” news outlets. You might count Inc.com among those media sources viewed with an increasingly questioning glint. It’s certainly been around a long time. Count me among the new skeptics. As detailed in my last post, a recent column on Inc.com about cold calling was so pompous, dismissive and wrong … [Read more...]

Could Inc. be Wrong about Cold Calling?

By

“For decades, companies have been getting diminished returns from cold calling. Now they’re flogging a dead horse.” Preface to com column written by Geoffrey James, Contributing Editor If it’s on Inc.com, one of the most venerable sources of online business journalism … it must be true, right? Well, maybe not. Or, at least debatable. Or maybe highly debatable. The headline of a recent column on the well-trafficked web site declared “Cold Calling Is a Waste of Time,” followed by the aforementioned introduction. The accompanying photo? Wait, didn’t that guy work with Don Draper? The column itself is well written and, on its surface, well reasoned. Its premise is that technology and human behavior have changed in ways that render cold calling useless as a modern sales … [Read more...]

Preparation begets success, you’ve been told. Well, you’ve done your research. You’re primed for success. Phone in hand, you’re armed and ready. So … why the hesitation? What’s wrong? Why aren’t you dialing? Sure, even the savviest salespeople occasionally come down with phone phobia. The trick is to make it short-lived. Cold call reluctance happens. Yet, you know that cold calling, like so many other activities, requires practice to improve. Did you hit a home run the first time you swung a baseball bat?

Healthcare Consultant / The Benefit Services Group "The Cold Call Coach Program works! Initially, I was skeptical of the Cold Call Coach Program because I was having so little success on my own and did not believe the program could work. However, after the first session or two I understood that I had the wrong approach and the program was providing the tools I lacked. After completing the program, I have been getting a call back rate on voicemails that alone is worth the price of the program and this does not even include the success I have had when speaking with the target of my calls. I would recommend this program to anyone trying to increase sales through cold calling."

Sales Manager / Express Employment Professionals "Paul is the most energetic and engaging speaker I have had the chance to see. Like the scripts he helps his audience design, I was hanging on his every word when I saw him speak. His framework for successfully scripting calls gives cold callers a new level of confidence when they are reaching out to potential customers and helps them sound like a normal person rather than the stereotypical 'smarmy salesperson'. This framework has also helped me personally to know who I should be reaching out to, what to say when I do, and how to get callbacks when I don’t connect. I’d highly recommend Paul to anyone who is looking to increase their knowledge, be more effective on the phone, and ultimately advance their sales career."

Account Executive / McLean Hallmark Insurance Group "I used to make about 200 calls to book an appointment and very few voicemails got returned. Now about 50% of my conversations become appointments and about 20% of my voicemails get returned. That's life changing - and I couldn't be happier."
