Benefits of Successful Cold Calling Campaigns

Potential business benefits may include:

Cold Calling Tips and Scripts

There have been countless attempts to create effective techniques and scripts. But, there is no magic cold calling script. There is no magic method. However, there are many helpful guides and methodologies available. Some basic tips include:

• Prepare - your self, your environment, your knowledge, and know who you represent
• Introduction - key phrases explaining and positioning yourself and your purpose
• Question - be helpful, facilitate and enable - don't make assumptions, sell or push
• Be Objective - act as an advisor - don't sell
• Listen and interpret - don't sell
• Inform / educate - don't sell
• Coordinate and keep prospect involve in a discussion - don't try to sell
• Keep in touch - keep notes, keep informed, set appointments

AnswerNet staff can work with you to develop and test calling scripts and guides - making it easier for agents to not sound like they are just reading from a script.

Initiate a Discussion, Set the Appointment

The key is to not be selling on the initial cold call - in the sense of pushing, telling, advancing the features or benefits of your own products or services. Generally the objective of the cold call is to start a discussion and, if the prospect is agreeable, set an appointment. The appointment could be for a phone call,  a webinar, a conference call,  a video conference, a face-to-face meeting - or even just getting agreement for a future call to see how things are going. (If the prospect requests to not be contacted again - honor the request and put them on your company's "do not call" list.)
