Five Keys to Make Your Cold Calls Sizzle


Do you clam up on the telephone? An advertising rep called the other day to sell some ad space in a local news magazine. After I said, "Hello," there was nothing but monotone dialog until I interrupted him a minute later.

Your Ad -- Who Cares?


Junk mail. We all get it.

A lot of effort is put into getting new clients. We all know our client base will change.

The Art Of Cold Calling

(These days my response is to tell these callers to order Cold Calling College!) This question-asking strategy does not work. It does not work to qualify your prospect, and it does not work to set your prospect at ease.

Building Relationships


A conversation: The Salesperson: "I don't cold call-I want to build relationships." Wendy: "Huh?" Recently I've had a number of conversations with sales professionals and entrepreneurs who tell me they do not cold call because they want to build relationships with prospects.

Take the Contract with You


I learned something very interesting this week. Thankfully, what I learned was really at no one's expense.

Talking To A Prospect As If To A Friend


While working with a new coaching client, I asked to hear her sound bite. Everyone needs a good sound bite.

Your Voice is Your Instrument
