Thumbs up Re: phone or in person

If you HAVE to cold call, have the script written out and immediately ASK permission for their time, " Sir, I can do _______ for you. May I have 5 mins. of your time to plan for a meeting. "

The calls purpose, is to get a face to face.

Then dollarize yourself in the face to face meeting and sell the money. Sell how someone who works with you either increases revenue or reduces loss, or working with you for whatever reason will make them somehow, " Feel good ".

Good luck!

Default Re: phone or in person

Call, and in less than 60 seconds try to convey to your potential client that you have a product that may be of use to them and try to schedule a meeting that will only take ten minutes of their time. Let them know that you value their time and want to show them first hand what YOU CAN DO FOR THEM. If they like you and your product, the meeting will last longer than ten minutes. If they don't, at least you won't be wasting any more of your time. Good luck!

Can you explain more about your business? Selling printing services? Your own clothing line, etc?
