What’s the number one blow off prospects use these days? Not only is it hard to get prospects back on the phone, when you do, you usually lead off with the ineffective opening line of: “Did you have a chance to review that email I sent you?” And then when a prospect blows you off with, “Can you email that to me?”

This week, I listened to a closing call from one of their reps, and here is how the prospect opened the call: Prospect: “Let me just tell you upfront that we’re looking at a lot of different options right now of which yours is just one…”. Here’s what I teach: Prospects have all the answers. Take what a prospect gives you.

Now ask questions, try to engage, and take your prospect as far as they’ll let you! You see, the value of having a proven response in your back pocket is that it allows you to move past a prospect’s initial resistance. [Now take it down, and then move into qualifying!] That’s what most blow offs are!

The reason this is such a common objection is because your prospects have figured out it’s the best way to get sales reps to drop their price! Then remain completely quiet and let your prospect tell you what the REAL objection is!] In this case, “Your Price is Too High.” And most do! Top performing reps, however, know better.

If you want more “treats” than “tricks” when dealing with prospects, then be bold and call back sooner than you are now. I don’t know why sales reps always default to: “I’ll call you again in a month…” Or 60 days or 90 days, etc, but why would you want to miss all the sales this prospect will place in the meantime?

To follow up on the blog post from two weeks ago (about the one quick fix to get your VMs returned ), here is the second quick fix: Stop trying to trick your prospect! So do your prospects. Your prospects can see through you and your message will be deleted quickly. I ALWAYS delete these messages the moment I hear them.

Because of this, it fools many sales reps who think that perhaps after a week or two the prospect might actually buy. Like my suggestions from the last two weeks, try this the next time you get this objection, and see if you can have an open, honest discussion with your prospect. But they rarely do. That’s the only way to win a sale.

Cold calling mistake #2: Don’t pitch your prospect—yet. and allow your prospect to engage with you. They call with what a client of mine once called, “commission breath.”. How do you avoid that?

Establishing rapport with a prospect in the very beginning is perhaps the most important first step to earning the right to have a conversation that might eventually lead to a sale. If your prospect asks you how you are (after you ask them), DON’T just say, “fine” or “good” and then launch into your pitch. Try it and see for yourself!

So many sales reps are anxious when they speak with a prospect.

What this tells the hiring manager is that you’re likely to “talk past the close” when on the phone with a prospect! Mistake Number Two: Talking past the close. Too many sales reps like to talk. The way to correct that is to listen to the question, compose your thoughts, and then give a succinct answer and quit talking. Less is more.

Whether it’s nervousness, fear, inexperience, or just the conviction that if they stop talking the prospect will say “Not interested” and hang up, it doesn’t matter. They talk over their prospects. They talk after they ask a question (and don’t even let their prospect answer). And then they talk some more…. Who Should Attend?

Maybe you wouldn’t choose the root canal; however, you certainly would rather have a cavity filled than have to prospect. I bet prospecting would be on the list too if everyone had to do it.
