Cold Call Tip for Cold Call Cowboys

Click to call, cool stuff for a sales guy. I use skype. Just click
to dial and even while connecting I copy and paste the next number to
the CAll To field to save time. Sales is a contact sport, and contacts
are what I seek. Click, click, call, call.

Average sales guy
scratches his head about the best way to handle voicemail. Leave a
message or not to leave a message, ehhh Romeo . Should dial time be spent
leaving a message or dialing the next number? But the sales pro plans and works the plan.

I go through stages. Some days I do some I don't. I do test results though and my results have lead me to a conclusion:

Leave a message, yes, do so. And...make it...

Short and Sweet with a hook. Like this...

Hi, thanks for
listning, call me to learn how to fix, solve, make, learn etc. We do
this for XYZ, Acme, (industry relevent.) Give me just 5 minutes and you
will be surprised.

This version has paid off for me. If you
read my other posts, you know that I make 100 calls per day. With the
short and sweet message, I get 1 to 4 call backs per day.

Not too bad....
