WHO'S CALLING?

After the overwhelming popularity of my recent blog entitled The Perfect Voicemail from a few weeks ago, when I ran across this interactive listing of How to reach the toughest exec in ten steps on the BNET blog yesterday, I knew it would be a natural extension of that concept.
 
Although the first few steps outlined are fairly elementary (do your research, write out your key points, etc), the balance of the blog has some really clever and insightful tips outlining how you can get through to even the toughest potential contacts.
 
Even if you personally don’t do much cold calling anymore, I suspect you still need to reach C-Level executives from time to time in the course of your business, and this primer may hold the tip(s) that may make a difference.
 
In addition, I suspect that you have people who report to you who could use these tips. Pass them along, and/or bookmark the site for future reference.
 
It’s never easy to get past the gatekeeper. Why not learn from others who have succeeded? Good luck.

# re: WHO'S CALLING?

Gravatar We used basically the same tactics in telemarketing after a direct mail when I was Dir. of Mktg at The NPD Group and can attest we achieved a 65% meeting rate. The first step he failed to mention, which is probably a given, yet most important is make sure the Executive (and company) are qualified. Meaning, they are a great fit for what you are selling. Do they match your target customer profile. Otherwise, your time is wasted (and theirs). 12/2/2009 7:02 PM | Jackie Kuehl
