When we want to make phone contact with potential clients we have not yet met, it is important to know<\/p>\n\n
how to properly establish chemistry and trust with them.<\/p>\n\n
Typically, chemistry is created when, after my self-introduction, my role, and the reason I am calling,<\/p>\n\n
I show interest in the occupation\/activities of the person I am calling.<\/p>\n\n
Before making the call, it is advisable to do some homework: check who I am going to call, what the reason is that I am going<\/p>\n\n
to call that person specifically, what makes them unique. It is advisable to go online and check current information about them, such as: do they <\/p>\n\n
have a website?<\/p>\n\n
(If they do and the site looks professional and serious, it would be appropriate to mention your impression during the telemarketing call),<\/p>\n\n
has any article been written about them, etc. Any information you obtain about the client before making contact will contribute<\/p>\n\n
greatly to advancing the telemarketing conversation and achieving the goal you set for yourself.<\/p>\n\n
Questions that create closeness between the speakers can be:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n How many years has your business been operating? Is it a family business? Who are your clients typically? What innovation exists <\/p>\n\n today in your field? etc. In addition, questions related to the reason I called can arise, for example: <\/p>\n\n If I am an insurance agent, I can ask: When was the last time you sat down with an insurance agent?<\/p>\n\n Are you up to date on the recent changes in the insurance field, etc.?<\/p>\n\n Keep in mind that the client will generally be happy to talk about their business\u2014after all, who would not be happy to talk about their accomplishments<\/p>\n\n and expertise in their professional field? Everyone will be eager to do so, and so will the potential client you are calling<\/p>\n\n during a telemarketing conversation, naturally after they know who they are speaking with and what you want.<\/p>\n\n Sometimes, after a short time, you will feel that you and the client you reached through the telemarketing call are connecting more and more,<\/p>\n\n and increasing openness is emerging. Excellent! That was the goal. <\/p>\n\n Now the client is beginning to place more trust in you. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n The more you let them talk and tell you about themselves, the more comfortable they will feel with you, with the content of the conversation,<\/p>\n\n and they will not even remember that you reached them through a telemarketing call.<\/p>\n\n Important fact: Often, wonderful chemistry is created with a potential client we reached through telemarketing<\/p>\n\n activity; however, be careful that the client does not waste your time. It is possible that you called them exactly<\/p>\n\n when they were bored, and then they may waste your time without any real intention of doing business with you.<\/p>\n\n Pay close attention if you feel (use your intuition!) that the potential client will not respond<\/p>\n\n to your requests and will not move forward with you\u2014it would be appropriate to ask them in a pleasant but direct manner whether they intend<\/p>\n\n to move forward with you on the matter for which you called.<\/p>\n\n A clear question brings a clear answer. Sometimes this is very appropriate and saves a great deal of time and money! <\/p>\n\n Building Trust in a Telemarketing Call <\/strong><\/p>\n\n Trust is created when there is alignment between what you said or promised to the client and the fulfillment of that promise.<\/p>\n\n For example: If you told the client that tomorrow at 10:00 AM you would have a conversation on a certain topic and you did not call<\/p>\n\n at the designated time\u2014trust begins to break down. Therefore, it is highly advisable not to promise things you do not intend to fulfill, or<\/p>\n\n if you promised, as they say, “gave your word,” to honor it in any case! Pay attention\u2014the potential client <\/p>\n\n is testing you on these details, and the decision whether to do business with you often depends on this!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When we want to make phone contact with potential clients we have not yet met, it is important to know how to properly establish chemistry and trust with them.
