Pick Up The Phone and Sell with Alex Goldfayn #391
In this episode Alex Goldfayn returns to babble about his new book: Pick Up The Phone and Sell: How Proactive Calls To Customers and Prospects Can Double Your Sales. Alex and I chat about his comprehensive roadmap to one of the most important weapons in any salesperson’s arsenal: the phone. Stop avoiding the phone with emails but instead create a real connection with clients and prospects. Great advice that will have you nodding your head affirmatively the entire time.
Selling Boldly But On The Phone
Previously Alex babbled on the podcast about his books: Selling Boldly and 5-Minute Selling, books that teach techniques to supercharge your sales by making the proactive call the tip of your selling spear. In this book Alex takes this to the next level. The “phone” is a hidden gem of an app on your phone.
-
- Start your by calling clients you already know
- Always leave a voice message, otherwise they’ll never know you tried
- Send a text after leave a voicemail, ask “when can you talk….”
- 2/3 people will call you back and of that group 2/3 will text you back
The best way to warm up is in the morning. Start the day by calling people you already know or at the very least, know your business. The conversation will go smooth and positive. Existing clients love to catch up and learn what’s going on. Any empathy you share will be MUCH LOVED.
Use the pandemic as a opener. Everyone has a view they want to share.
Take Action
-
- You only need to make three calls/day
