Hanging In Through the Hang Ups!

Focus: Personal Growth. You are not the sum total of how many cold-call appointments you made this morning! In fact, your humanity--which is what makes you vulnerable to the hammering rejection intrinsic to this process--can be turned into your greatest strength! This is the starting point on dealing with call resistance and burnout from the inside out, but it's also important to master certain behavioral externals, to carry you through until you do "get it"--inside. However, it's also important to master certain external "tricks of the trade" in your presentation, because they definitely will enhance your success rate, which of course helps you to feel considerably more confident in each succeeding call.

This material is based largely on the last two chapters of the book. According to FORUM (LUAC, Canada): "Chapters 12 to 14 (the last 3) are the most interesting....they deal with...the psychological motivation of dealing with the hang ups!" And, according to Price Gaines, former L&H editor, THE NATIONAL UNDERWRITER, "The last two chapters alone are worth a two-year lecture tour."

While the supply lasts (it is limited!), copies of the book.

Hiring and Managing Independent Callers

Focus: Honing Managerial Skills to Maximize Results. Almost all industry information on the subject of cold calling comes from service bureaus or other large-scale operations, in which interchangeable callers read prepared scripts, and this is virtually worthless if you are hiring only one or a few independent, intelligent callers to come into your office. In fact, trying to apply large-scale criteria to independent callers in your office can be harmful; for example, a good independent will make substantially fewer calls per hour than a caller in a large operation, because a good independent will spend more time connecting with the right person, get further with more calls, and will take more time writing up details to help you when you arrive for the appointment. Learn where to find good callers, how to train them and what to expect, but keep control of your process. Most outside callers who come into your office are operating under "plan B", until plan A on what they really want to do materializes. Their turnover rate is notoriously high! How much data collection is enough, and how much is overkill, simply detracting from time better spent calling? What data do you need? How much qualifying is it possible for a non-agent to do, without killing the appointment? Decision Makers only? Well--sometimes. And how should you pay an independent? Per appointment can get you lots and lots of terrible appointments, from callers who could get you only good appointments--but that's not what you're paying for! And if one caller calls for more than one salesperson, how do you divide the appointments? Pros and cons of service bureaus will be included, along with many other comparably important and often confusing issues, which frequently are not thought through until the whole operation falls apart.
