Are You Nervous When You Call Someone’s Cellular Phone?
Would you feel comfortable asking the receptionist for your prospect’s cell phone number? Or does the idea of cold calling to a cell phone put knots in your stomach? Well, it’s a fear that only comes along if your primary goal is to sell something. In other words, if you’re still using the traditional sales mindset.
But once you master the new cold calling perspective, you’ll feel comfortable calling anyone, any time, using any mode. You’re trying to help someone solve a problem, and you’re okay with any outcome.
So now you can feel comfortable asking for a prospect’s cell phone number. You might ask the receptionist, for example, “Would you happen to have a paging system or his cell phone number by any chance?” If the receptionist replies, “Sorry, we don’t have those,” then at that point you can say, “Thank you very much. I really appreciate your help.” And then hang up, and call back another time.
Until next time,
Keep calling and keep it conversational…
