How to create Buy-in when cold calling

How to create Buy-in when cold calling

How to create 'Buy-in' when cold calling:


  • You need to be 'interested' to be 'interesting'. Your first call may simply be to inquire about their business to establish where you can add value.


  • The ABC acronym: Always Be Closing is old-school selling. I prefer a new acronym: Always Be Contributing. That means contribute from day one. Do your homework on who you are calling and make sure you have strong if not resounding "What In It For Me' for them, and this is the reason for you call.

  • Target companies, or people, that you know 100% you are capable of adding significant value to. These companies can be based on existing client successes, or perhaps solutions you provide specifically for companies of an exact or similar nature. Think about, where 80% of your business and profit derives? Companies in this industry are a good place to start.

  • When you call, demonstrate you know their business: what they stand for, how they differentiate from their key competitors, and based on this, this is why you are motivated to help them.

  • Communicate key goals you have helped similar companies obtain, or challenges you have partnered with them to overcome - and given the opportunity you would like to help in similar ways also.

  • Know someone they know, this builds credibility and helps develop rapport. Please note: This must be genuine. (You will never get to me personally unless you know someone I know.)

  • As a business owner make the call yourself. Present and contribute as an equal. Example: "The reason for my call is I have 30 staff as you do, and know how frustrating it is at times generating the right business. I own a web development and IT company. I have just spent 15 minutes on your website and have some valuable insights for you about your website and competitors. Would you like to catch-up for a coffee to discuss?"

There a numerous more ways you could develop 'buy-in'. I hope the examples I have provide prove relevant for your business.

Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?"
