In the past, most B2B sales were conducted face-to-face – perhaps in a prospect’s conference room or at a golf course. Many deals are closed today without the buyer and seller meeting face-to-face, a practice known as inside sales. The shift to remote sales accelerated during the pandemic. What is inside sales?

Because of this, it fools many sales reps who think that perhaps after a week or two the prospect might actually buy. Questioning this objection is much better than saying, “Okay, when should I call you back,” which is what most sales reps say. That’s the only way to win a sale. But they rarely do.

So many sales reps are anxious when they speak with a prospect. They know that unless they get these “tough” questions answered, there is no way to move the sale forward. Plus, they know that most of the “prospects” they speak with don’t turn into a deal anyway, so, why not learn who is a real prospect right from the get go?

I watched a sales rep making cold calls the other day. He was making one crucial error that was leading to him not getting very far with prospects. I want to share with you what this common prospecting error is and how to immediately fix it. What was missing was the common currency of human interaction to set up the call.

Over the past couple of years, there has been a seismic shift to inside sales. Salespeople who used to sell out in the real world, face-to-face with prospects, began selling inside, never having to leave the office in order to close deals. Inside sales isn’t going anywhere. They probably never will again.

Congrats to those companies & individuals who sent in their prospecting scripts for review. Usually, they asked it this way: Gatekeeper: “Thank you for calling the Johnson company.”.

Sales people like to talk; if you don’t believe me, just listen to a recording of one of your reps (or of yourself!). And when your ears are closed, you learn nothing about your prospect’s buying motives, their possible objections, or whether or not they are buying into your pitch. Ask questions frequently of your prospect.

At first, it seemed almost rude to utter it… But let me ask you: out of ten prospects you pitch to, how many end up actually buying? Yep, two out of ten prospects you speak with turn into buyers.
