Telephone prospecting is a delicate art that requires a careful and thoughtful approach. At Reetch, we are experts in the field and we have compiled a list of phrases for you to avoid during your prospecting calls.
Our goal is to help you optimize your business development efforts. If you don’t have time to do it yourself, feel free to contact us or visit our website for more information about our services.
1. « I don’t want to bother you »: This phrase sounds like you’re apologizing for calling. You need to be confident and believe in the value of your offer.
2. « I know you’re busy »: This can give the impression that you don’t appreciate the other person’s time. Instead, thank him for his time.
3. « Can you give me a few minutes? »: This puts the other person in control of the conversation. Instead, offer a specific time to chat.
4. « I sell… »: People don’t like to feel sold out. Instead, focus on how your product or service can solve a problem or improve a situation.
5. « This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity »: This phrase may sound too commercial and insincere. Instead, explain why your offer is unique.
6. « I guess you’re not interested »: This gives the impression that you don’t trust your product or service. Instead, ask for feedback or questions.
7. « This is an amazing deal »: This phrase may seem exaggerated and lack credibility. Instead, clearly explain the benefits of your offer.
8. « I’m calling you because… »: This phrase may seem too formal and impersonal. Instead, create a personal connection with the person you’re talking to.
9. « I don’t know if you’ve heard of us »: This makes it seem like your company isn’t well known. Instead, briefly introduce your company and its expertise.
10. « I’m calling you randomly »: This makes it seem like you haven’t done your research. Instead, show that you know the person you’re talking to and their company.
At Reetch, we understand that cold calling can be a challenge. That’s why we offer expert services to help you maximize your business development efforts. If you don’t have time to do it yourself, feel free to contact us or visit our website for more information about our services.
