Do Your Homework

As someone with ‘manager’ in my title, I get a good amount of prospecting emails from various software platforms and professional services. Since I’m on training side of the house, I can’t help but critique certain emails I get; I almost always respond with little recommendations and tidbits to help improve their outreach and wish them luck hitting their goals, even if I’m not interested.…

Thawing out Your Cold Pipeline

Life as a BDR consists of making hundreds of cold calls on a weekly basis. Unfortunately most of those don’t make it to the next step. What most people don’t realize is that even though every call doesn’t convert right away, it doesn’t mean it’s a complete lost cause.  It’s time to change your attitude from a glass half empty to a glass half full…

Objection Handling 101: Embrace, Inform, & Question

definition of objection a pictured in a dictionary
Objections. Every sales person gets them whether they’re expecting them are not.

I’ll never forget the (brief) conversation I had with a prospect: “Are you kidding me?!” the prospect angrily exclaimed, “I told you two months ago we use your competitor. I also told you to call me back six months from now when we’re nearing renewal, but since you clearly don’t listen, take me off your list and do NOT call back” CLICK I was shocked. A…

I see this advice frequently from sales trainers, seasoned cold callers, and LinkedIn posters: the first thing you should do when engaging your prospect over the phone, and after you introduce yourself, is to ask "Did I catch you at a bad time?", or, stated in the positive, "Is this a good time to talk?".
