Sales Appointment Setting | Generate High Quality Sales Appointments that Convert
Sales appointment setting is where the magic starts….from all the cold leads, the cold calls, the lists, from social leads, from exhibitions and networking, at last, the prospect is spoken with, qualified and dropped in the calendar ready to move to the next step – the pitch!!
Job well done!
Lots of high quality and well qualified and high quality sales appointments means there is a steady stream of sales opportunities to convert into orders and invoices.
Into turnover and margin.
Into market growth.
Brand awareness.
Which Means – More raving fans!
Which means great reference accounts.
More high converting sales appointments today mean an easier sales journey tomorrow.
A full schedule. of high quality sales appointments now means plenty of opportunities…now and in the future.
And full week of high quality sale appointments is a key leading factor in predicting sales success.
A half empty sales month is just that little bit more stressful.
In fact, I’d take it as a flashing red light that something needs to change.
But, even though being able to create a steady flow of well qualified sales opportunities is the recognised life blood of a business, many sales teams still struggle because consistently booking great sales meetinsg with prospects is a major challenge.
Why is Booking High Quality Sales Appointment Such a Challenge?
It’s major challenge because few people really love picking up the phone.
Some hate digging around and trying to find the decision maker.
All that tussle with the gate keeper…oh no!
Who actually loves asking qualifying questions? All the time asking questions, forcing a response, dreading the prospect will get bored and bolt!
Who can really be bothered with all that research? Research that adds huge amounts of value to the prospect, sufficient to create credibility, curiosity and confidence in the buyer?
Instead…it’s a grudge activity, a means to an end.
Understand this, practice doesn’t make perfections, but practice does mean progress.
Honestly, at the end of the day you don’t need to be a million times better than the other sales guys out there who are also trying to book that sales meeting with the exact same prospect you’re chasing, but, you do need to be just a bit better.
Just a bit!
Others will avoid cold calling because:
- They lack clarity around how they can seriously wow the prospect in the first few seconds.
- Struggle to see why the prospect would never want to engage with them.
- See the call as a massive interruption.
- Can’t see the value in what they bring to the prospect’s attention.
- And, have no idea what the prospect actually needs (here’s the secret, no-one does, that’s the reason you have the conversation and qualify the decision maker).
So, what happens then?
Some sales teams can fill the meeting slots ok, but the quality is so-so.
Often sales teams suffer from high cancellation rates.
And some sales people just struggle to hit the that critical mass of quantity of appointments they really need for a great sales pipeline.
So, whatever kind of sales appointment setting nightmare you’re suffering from, help is here, because in just 1 day I can show you how to really boost the quality and quantity of sales appointments in your sales diary.
Because – the truth is – a hot sales meeting pipeline means a productive sales pipeline….means more invoices!
But it all starts with high quality sales appointments.
