Opening The Sales Call
Let’s quickly review the sales process. First, you spend time prospecting and identifying qualified leads. Next, do your homework and convince the prospect to meet with you. Now, you are about to meet face-to-face with this prospect.
This step, Opening the Sales Call, is about making a good first impression, positioning yourself as an expert and setting a positive tone for potentially doing business.
As you get to know the prospect and ask questions to understand his needs, you will determine if there is a solution your company can provide to fit his needs. Once your present that solution, you may need to overcome objections and then you will close the deal.
Lastly, you will continue to cultivate the relationship, and develop the client for life.
In this video training series, we will talk about opening the initial sales call and opening follow-up meetings. In both types of meetings, you will plan to open the call in a similar fashion.
In sales follow-up meetings, you will summarize what happened in the prior meeting, instead of making introductions. However, in some cases, there will be new decision makers who attend the meeting. In that case, you will summarize as well as Make Introductions.
What is an opening? It is a starting place, you are planting seeds to grow the relationship.
