that crack about "...I know I won't :( " is self defeating so stop the whining, and snap out of it!
now, I've had to do the exact same thing before - only, I had a whole 3 minutes to learn! and if I can do it, then YOU can do it.
1st, get a picture in your head of who you talk to the easiest. (Your brother, girlfriend, Mom, grandfather, friend... - whoever makes you comfortable, makes you smile, or seems to leave you feeling good/better about yourself when you talk w/ them.)
2nd, ask them if you can practice w/ them! Tell them you are going to try your pitch and tell them to ask questions that they think your customers might ask.
3rd, pick up the phone and dial. When they answer, REALLY try to sell them, and answer their questions. |

It's not hard at all. I use to teach people this in the insurance industry. The biggest thing that can happen is someone says NO and hangs up. It's our nature to fear the unknown and rejection. Just be thankful this is all you need to learn for now. You will be surprised how well you can do this if you portray a good attitude from the start.
Here are some suggestions:
1.Make a list of your responses to certain answers you expect. Breaks down the fear level.
Let say the lady says," this is a bad time for me."
You would respond with, I am so sorry I called at a bad time when would be a good time to call back and talk to you, tomorrow evening or Friday morning?
2. Always ask open ended questions. (get a commitment)
3. First things first, let the customer know what's in it for them, then sell your pitch.
4. Out-calling is a numbers game, the more you call the better your chances of being successful. 50 calls may only give 2 good leads, 100 calls may give 4-5 good leads and so on...
5. Follow up and follow through.
6. Don't read a script, how boring is that! Keep a list of key words and things you want to say and talk like your talking to a friend, not a stranger.
These are just a few. You may want to check this out too!

Just remember you'll get alot of people that just hang up, or aren't interested. Just act like you know them, make some sort of script, but don't follow it to the T. People can tell when you're reading off a script. It's all about improv. Keep it interesting, and short. |

i have had to do this and the only way i felt comfortable was to write a script ahead of time, including some different responses they might have, and practice, practice , practice. This prevents getting toungue tied or not knowing what to say. The easiest way is to thoroughly know what you are offering, but if they ask something you don't know, tell them that you will find out, and would 7:00 be best for me to call you, or 8:00? Speak with a pleasant tone of voice, not too loud or too soft, and not sing-song (not like you are reading a script) If you know what to say, it will become easy for you. Also, don't get discouraged with "no" because that is what most people say, but you never know when you might get someone who is interested-just be nice & you will succeed. Good luck |

You know...I had to train hundreds of telemarkers for years. The main thing is to be yourself, use the Kiss method (Keep It Simple and Stupid). And never be afraid to say...you know, I don't know the answer to that question because I am new here, but I will find out for you (and the do it).
A very simple intro script:
Hello, I'm looking for a Mr. / Mrs. _________.
My name is __________ and I am calling you regarding the_______________ (whatever your business is about). Please bare with me because I'm new at this, but I promise to make it short and sweet because I realize that you are a busy person.
DO NOTS:
1 Sound canned and monitone.
2 Read something without interuption.
3 Cut off or interupt the customer.
4 Become rude or raise your voice.
5 Become longwinded and talk about something off of the subject.
6 Waste your time with someone that just wants to toy with you.
7 Freeze on objectives.
8 Chew gum or eat while on the phone.
9 Use bad habit slang such as "you know", and " umm," and "repeated "at the end of the day."
10 PUSH. |

Peace,
The greatest resource I can share with you book 'The Psychology of Selling'. This book will lead into the direction where you will be amazed to getting to.
I've read this book and it has allowed me to put together top quality phone scripts, and a lot more. It breaks selling down.
This author is millionaire becuase he knows how, when, and where to sell. They say learn from those who have done it before you and done it well.
Peace,

Cold calling is a waste of time. How much do you get paid to make a cold call? Or do you get paid to close a sale? Email me for more information. be sure to include your email so I can reply. |

It's not as bad as it sounds....
- Try asking someone with experience if you can "sit-in" on a few
of the calls.
- If possible, start with people you already know, get a feeling
for the new job.
- Develop an area of expertise, be the person they want to talk
to.
- "team-tag", work with a partner until you have the confidence
to go solo.
Good Luck |

your 1st phone call will be frightening.. but just remember one thing,,, they have no idea who you are and it's only a phone call for a job...this is not you as a person,,, and most people know this... you will always find the asshole who wants to ruin your day... but always say thank you if you get the chance...do not allow the phone calls to interrupt your daily life,,, you are only doing your job.. and don't be afraid to say that when you are cold calling... if someone gets upset with you say sir I am only doing my job please be patient with me... I am not sure what you are calling for.. but if you want more advice email me at cosmoestyle@yahoo I have cold called at several positions in my life some in person and over the phone.. If you think cold calling over the phone is hard try it door to door.... good luck |

I had a boss who did something similar to me and I was required to get 10 contacts a day to set up events. I had no experience and no confidence in what I was doing. He got the point when every single call I made resulted in a "no". I was completely unprepared for each call, didn't know how to sell our services and didn't know how to break through barriers. Not a great formula for success.
My advice, plug through each call without worrying about the outcome. When you worry about whether they will say yes or no, you get emotionally invested in the call and your nerves get tight. Think about the girl working the drive through at McDonalds. She asks every person if they want to biggie size their order. How many times a day do you think she hears a "no"? Do you think she lets it bother her? No way!
You will either get enough practice through trial by fire and wind up getting good at it, or you'll bomb miserably and your boss will realize he made an unrealistic request. Either way, you win! |

Prepare a script for the service and or product you are offering.
Have it in front of you when you are calling, Memorize it, do not read it. Smile when you are speaking on the phone. People can pick up on your moods as you talk and the more you smile the better you are. Also, keep a glass of water handy for any dry throat problems. Good luck. |

Plan on getting 300 "NO's". When you call stand up and smile! Just be friendly and ask for the deal. A no just means there are a lot of yeses out there. Go for it. Actually, if you don't expect to have an outcome, it is fun to get creative at getting your "no's" out of the way. Really try for the 300.and add up the yes's inbetween.
Good luck and after this lesson you won't be afraid of anyone saying no. |

hey don't stress,
just breath and pretend you in a movie, once you get the first step over with you'll feel better, more motivated and confident. phone a friend up an dpretend to be some one else and blabber on, that way you can pratice your line of speach and have a joke with your friends at the same time. most important thing is, they can't see you, so you can be who you want....experiment, is n't taht what lifes abt, taking steps in all directions and just taking the risk. who knows maybe you got a real nack for it, just take the leap....ultimate test of charachter |

One of my contracts called for 1000 cold calls face to face in a month. My sweetie would pull me out of fetal position in bed in the mornings!
Cold calls are learned on the "what works" experience level. Up front identification is essential. "Great game the Cubs played..." is death. Try to get your pitch in during the first sentence. "United believes we have a product/process which will mesh well with your _____ business. I have a stopwatch and if you will allow me, I'd like to use 62 seconds of your time to describe it. May I?" |

Just think of the other person as a good friend and you are trying to talk them into trying your product or coming to work with you. The worst that could happen is they hang up on you. |

I HATE COLD CALLING!! The best advance I can give you is remember that it is not personal. When someone doesn't want to talk to you, or is rude, or hangs up on you, it is very easy to take it as a personal attack. If you just go into this as something you must do for your job, you will make it out better. |
