OPPORTUNITIES WITH A
CALLING CAMPAIGN
Presented By L. Wells & Associates, Inc.
WHY CONSIDER A CALLING CAMPAIGN?
There are many ways to generate new business, however,
developing business via the phone has many benefits and here are
a few:
You get a chance to choose who you would like to do business with
You are pro-actively going after business as opposed to waiting for
business to passively come to you
You are able to gain quality accounts as opposed to quantity
Cost Effective
Quickest method to getting in front of a decision maker
More efficient use of your time as opposed to networking or
canvassing
You are able to cover more ground
You have more control over your sales quota or goals
PREPARATION IS THE KEY
When considering a calling campaign you should
take the following into consideration:
Target Market (Your sweet spot, where are you currently having success)
Lead List (Do you have an in house list or would you need to obtain a list
from an outside source)
Goal of the campaign (Are you trying to book appointments for yourself or
your sales team, are you placing follow up calls on the behalf of an email
campaign or a tradeshow that you recently attended?) What increase in
sales or growth would you like to see?
Manpower or skill base (Are you or your staff effective at prospecting?)
Using your staff more efficiently (Would you like your sales staff in front
of more people selling as opposed to digging?)
Outsourcing (Do you lack the time or the manpower?)
DO YOU HAVE TIME FOR THE CONSISTENCY
NEEDED?
Calling campaigns require management, tweaking and
consistency? Do you have what it takes?
Management of a calling campaign consists of overseeing
your sales funnel. You may need to send out information to
those who have requested a little more clarity. A Follow up
call may need to be made to those who have requested a
touch at a later date and updating of information may be
required for those contacts that have in-accurate
information or recent changes.
What is being said may need to be tweaked to obtain more
receptiveness.
Consistency is the key, calls need to be done on a daily
basis for a number of hours each day and telephone tag in
addition to repeat calls are a must.
GETTING YOUR FOOT IN THE DOOR
Creation of your script
You only have a few seconds to grab your prospect’s attention and
hold them on the line and typically most prospects want to know
immediately what’s in it for them?
Testimonials
How do you make a difference or an impact with your service?
What’s your competitive advantage? (How do you stand out from
the crowd of your competitors?
Sweeten the pot (An extra incentive to motivate your prospect to
meet)
Are you or have you worked with companies that are in the same
industry as your prospects whereas you can make a reference of
how you solved a similar challenge?
FILLING YOUR SALES FUNNEL & FOLLOW
UP
A calling campaign will open the door to more options in
your sales funnel, however, you must be prepared to
cultivate the seeds that have been planted.
You will have contacts that desire to meet with you
immediately and have an immediate need, you may have
some that desire to meet with you within 2 weeks or 6
months. Whatever the time frame, follow up is the key to
converting leads into customers.
Do you have a system in place to manage your follow ups?
