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?

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 after years of cold calling (and calling clients back), I have found that I revert back to this standard opening again and again. And here’s why: While I used to think it signals that a sales call is coming, what I’ve discovered is that people are so used to hearing—and answering—this question, they don’t really register it.

I’ve been doing this for over 30 years, and things have remained constant during that time: top sales reps are better for many different reasons (personality, work effort, etc.),

Developing a better habit during this part of the call will greatly increase your sales.
