Cold calling ten: 10. Learn, learn, learn with
Practice makes perfect. In cold calling, this saying clearly applies. What specifically to focus on in self-improvement?
Our 10-part series on telephone trading is coming to a close.
Last time we were reminded that:
- a good businessman is not a “talker”
- a good businessman values his time and the time of others
- a good marketer appeals to the right people in the right companies
- a good businessman does not take rejection as a sign of his own failure
The theme of the final piece is simple:
Learn, learn, learn
Of course, there are also natural talents in the field of cold contacting. Positively attuned extroverts who simply “do it” with people and don’t break down when something doesn’t work out.
But talent is not the absolute basis of success. It is regular training and self-education .
Here are some tips for your business growth:
- Don’t expect miracles from yourself right from the start.
- Learn from more experienced colleagues, look for “best practices”.
- Learn from your mistakes and successes. Track what works and what doesn’t.
- Continuously improve your call script. Gradually polish it like a diamond.
- As you prepare, fine-tune your response to questions and objections.
- Ask more experienced colleagues for honest feedback.
- Don’t give up. As you gain experience, you will become more and more confident.
We wish you the best of luck with your cold calling.
It’s not a job for everyone, but if you learn to do it well (perhaps thanks to our series), you’re almost certainly “destined for success.”
