How to Stop Chasing Sales with Cold Calling
Summary
When we focus solely on making a sale, we lose authenticity and miss the essence of true conversation. Instead of chasing people or sales, we can transform our approach. Here are four steps to make cold calling more effective and engaging.
1. Ditch the Script
Life isn’t scripted, and neither should our conversations be. Relying on a rigid script makes interactions feel forced and unnatural. Instead, embrace a natural dialogue that fosters trust, allowing genuine issues to surface. By viewing calls as conversations rather than sales pitches, you’ll notice a shift in energy, focusing on the person rather than the sale. Discuss potential problems you can solve, reducing feelings of awkwardness and making the conversation more enjoyable.
2. Address Real Issues
People connect when they feel understood. Identify two or three specific problems your product or service addresses and discuss these before launching into your pitch. Showing genuine interest in solving their problems keeps the conversation from feeling like a sales push. When you demonstrate that your goal isn’t just selling, people will be more open and engaged.
3. Uncover Truth in the Conversation
Aim to understand your potential client’s situation and be comfortable with the outcome, whether it’s a yes or a no. Periodically check if continuing the conversation makes sense, avoiding being stuck in "chase mode." Ask important questions, like if the problem is a priority for them now. This insight helps align both parties, ensuring the client’s needs are at the forefront, rather than just aiming for a sale.
4. Let the Conversation Lead
Surprisingly, when you allow a conversation to conclude naturally, the other person often initiates further contact. You might simply ask, “Where do you think we should go from here?” This question shows you’re not pushing for a commitment, empowering the client to guide the next steps. By focusing on their needs, you’ll find sales more likely to emerge from genuine, friendly dialogue.
By shifting your approach from chasing sales to building relationships, you'll discover that success often follows naturally from understanding and addressing the needs of others.
