It slows the performer (or salesperson) down, which lessens the cognitive load on his or her brain. In turn, this leads to more creativity that ultimately “wows” the audience.
As salespeople, we talk too much. We talk past the sale. Our “fight or flight” brains kick in due to our fear of rejection and failure.
When you feel this moment coming on, talk less and DO something, like “washing the dishes”.Are Your Voicemails Not Getting Returned?
Some cold calling experts suggest that you leave a message when you receive a prospect’s voicemail. Unfortunately, many salespeople feel that this is an exercise in futility because most of the time, their prospect does not call them back. If that sounds familiar to you, here are nine reasons why your prospect isn’t responding to your calls.
9 Reasons Your Prospect Is Not Calling You Back
Your voicemail message is too long.
The majority of voicemail messages decision makers receive egypt telegram data are far too long. Decision makers are too busy to listen to a long, rambling, and disjointed message. That means you need to get your message across in 30 seconds or less. In fact, I suggest that you try and limit your message to a maximum of 20 seconds.
On the reverse side, a short, terse voicemail with no details will not likely motivate someone to call you back. You MUST give a prospect enough information to capture their attention and say, “I need to talk to this person.”
You leave the same voicemail message.
It is important to keep trying to connect with your prospect which often means leaving multiple voice mail messages. However, if you want someone to call you back you need to leave a different message every time you call. Plus it must be compelling (see the next point).
Your message is not compelling.
Most voice mail messages do little to motivate someone to pick up the telephone and return your call. A compelling message MUST demonstrate that you understand your prospect’s industry, situation, or circumstances and portray that you might have a solution.
Your voicemail message is too cryptic
