What’s the biggest mistake sales reps make with prospecting or cold calling? Your prospecting will go a lot better if you do! Cold calling mistake #2: Don’t pitch your prospect—yet. The second biggest mistake sales reps make when prospecting is to immediately dump a pitch on someone as soon as they pick up the phone (think, commission breath). and allow your prospect to engage with you. They call with what a client of mine once called, “commission breath.”.

With regularity, most active sales trainers and I get the following question: “When is the best time to prospect?”. First, wanting to stay real and all, what they are really looking for is either a reason not to prospect or absolution from having not prospected for a while for all the wrong and usual reasons. Either one leads to the same corner of no prospecting and any cross street in sales. The number of prospects who begin Discovery with you, take a real Proposal?

One blur is the line between who is a buyer and who is a prospect. Assuming buyers and prospects are the same and the words interchangeable perhaps explains the output numbers year after year. You need to accept that prospects are not buyers, which is a good thing for us. Prospects are entirely different than buyers. Prospects on the other hand are not actively engaged in any process they would describe as a buying process or journey. By Tibor Shanto.

By ‘appointment”, I mean that a prospect has clearly committed time and attention to listening to you, your reason for wanting to speak; giving you the opportunity to move a qualified opportunity to the next step, in most cases, Discovery. Sure, they want the appointment but are willing to settle for so much less when the prospect answers. At times you can hear the almost silent prayer for a request for information; they can get off the phone, but still, pretend they prospected.

There is a major parallel between prospecting and leading. When prospecting, you have to make people see things that they might not otherwise see. Those good at prospecting do the same thing- they ask tough questions and create engaging conversations.
