Are you absolutely satisfied with the sales results of your telesales team? Do you think that your sales could be or should be better? If youre serious about getting the absolute best from your inside sales team and improving their sales results then this book is for you. Written for B2B telephone sales managers, owners and executives, Telesales Coaching is a practical, no-nonsense guide on how to help your sales reps sell smarter, sell better and sell more. There are two fundamental reasons why your telephone sales reps dont sell as much as they could or should. The first reason is that many reps are not very good at selling despite formal (and ongoing) training. Over time, telephone reps dilute the fundamentals, cut corners, get complacent, forget techniques or fail to master the skill sets that will lead to increased sales. The second reason is that the majority of telesales reps do not get the coaching and support that they need to excel at sales. Most telephone sales managers have been taught how to be managers, not coaches. Consequently, telesales reps do not get the proper constructive feedback and encouragement they need to change their selling behavior and improve. Until now. Telesales Coaching provides you with a proven and practical four-step process on how to coach your telephone reps and help them increase their sales. Its extremely effective because it focuses on precisely how to get reps to overcome their natural resistance to change and to modify their behavior on a consistent basis. Easy to learn and easy to apply, the coaching techniques offered are based on common sense principles of learning and development. Here is some of what youll learn: ?? Why most companies dont coach ?? The six things coaching definitely is not ?? Why you cant coach without clearly defined standards ?? Understanding that telesales is not a numbers game, its a results game ?? How often you should monitor your reps (the answer may surprise you) ?? Where, when, and how to monitor your reps ?? How to use an analyzing algorithm to avoid petty feedback ?? Who not to coach ?? Why the sandwich feedback technique is a waste of time and effort ?? Why numeric rating systems are destructive ?? The Socratic feedback model the absolute best way to provide feedback ?? Other methods to enhance the coaching process Based on twenty-plus years of helping companies throughout North America implement successful telephone selling programs, this book gives you everything you need to turn your ordinary telesales reps into extraordinary telesales reps.

Cold calling is a blood sport. Sales professionals hate making cold calls and customers despise receiving them. Yet those who can rise above the competition and master cold-calling will find themselves closing deals, hitting targets, and positively improving their lives on both professional and personal levels. Powerful, practical, and logical, The Cold Calling Equation: Problem Solved teaches cold calling as a skill that anyone who exerts the effort can perfect. Readers can see immediate results from tactics that are spelled out in the book's first pages. It takes the intimidation out of calling a complete stranger and teaches a person with any level of education and experience how to make human connections and find opportunities to grow their business. Upending conventional wisdom, the author reveals that hard work and effort don't always result in successful cold calls. What works is when a caller learns how to succinctly state their company's value to another business. Forget selling the features. Cold callers need to show how their product will make a client's company run faster, smoother, and harder. The reader can formulate their own attack using the concepts and tools that are cleanly explained throughout the book. The Cold Calling Equation: Problem Solved is a book based on real-world scenarios and developed by Michael Halper who has thirteen years experience in cold calling. An energetic sales coach, he runs a telesales operation for other businesses and manages a team of callers. The book takes the reader, chapter by chapter, through the other stumbling blocks of cold calling and shows the salesperson how to clear these hurdles. He also demonstrates how to build target lists and scripts, deal with objections, find opportunities, build both rapport and interest, and more. The psychological state of the cold caller is taken into account as well. The book gives solid strategies for overcoming anxiety and breaks down the pernicious myth that all cold callers are born rather than made. Salespeople don't have to be extroverts or the life of the party. In fact, it's the ability to listen rather than the gift of gab that makes someone successful at business-to-business selling. Turning the tables on the seller, The Cold Calling Equation: Problem Solved also demonstrates that not every lead is worth pursuing. In a powerful section on qualifying, Halper shows the salesperson how to quickly screen prospects through incisive questions. It's a tactic that makes the phone call more controversial and gets the prospect talking. Cold callers will also learn how to manage gatekeepers, turning their enemies into allies who go from blocking to opening up and pointing in the right direction. This helpful guide shows callers how to navigate objections, those challenging phrases that prospects use to get off the phone. Whether it is "I do not have time right now" or "We are not interested," Halper will show you why prospects use objections and how cold callers can get around them. Even a reader with zero sales skills and no practical experience can read this book and learn how to utilize their phone and make it into a powerful sales tool. It will move the novice cold caller from frustration and failure to control and success.
