Curious how to turn “cold calling into “warm calling? Women’s Business Initiative International Thursday, 22 October 2015 from 19:45 till 20:15 – 30 minutes Presentation by Marie-Claire van Poelje on Acquisition

What is the reason that most salespeople and entrepreneurs hate cold-calling? In other words, just picking up the telephone and cold-calling someone to offer products or services. What is your experience with this, and how do you handle it? Name three reasons why even experienced salespeople have a hard time with cold-calling.

Fear; Am I speaking to the right person? Doubts about the information you have been given; Doubts about the product; Lack of structural approach/good script; It feels like you’re shooting blanks.

A SOLUTION FOR TURNING COLD-CALLING INTO WARM CALLING The following four steps are: 1.Description of the customers you’re looking for 1.Approach to target group 1.Arranging a meeting 1.Calling

1. Ask yourself what your customer wants. What are his or her needs? Make a list of potential customers. This list should include industries, regions and the right contact person (decision-maker). Conduct desk research on these prospects. Pick up the telephone! 2. Approaching your target group There are two options for approaching your target group: Arrange a meeting with your prospect; Pick up the phone and call with a reason. Make a choice by approaching your prospect to meet him or her, or by calling them. You can also decide to apply both of these options. Don’t forget the follow-up after these actions!

3. How do you arrange a meeting? Know where the members of your target group are or will be. Where can you find them? Use LinkedIn to find the right contact person; Post valuable content on Twitter to get followers; Join business or networking clubs; Go to networking events (such as Women’s Business Initiative International), trade fairs, seminars, etc. Be prepared with a good elevator pitch (an interesting story).

4. Pick up the phone and call with a reason. By this I mean: Ask satisfied customers if they will introduce you to one of their business associates; Find out if you know anyone who can introduce you to prospects; Learn more about the business and the customer. Offer them a solution to their problem; Send information first (e-book, white paper, or information that relates to your prospect’s problem); Comment on news items; Prepare your story/calling script for each prospect.

CONCLUSION – ACQUISITION Find customers that need your product or service; Have a good, structural plan of action ready with a solid calling script; Acquisition is action; Follow up and keep your promises.
