Telephone Protocol & Etiquette



What is the response like to your potential clients telephoning your Business

The Telephone can be the initial contact your customer or client has with your Business

You will have invested a tremendous amount of time and money to generate that contact.
The way your representative reacts to your customer or client will largely determine the result:

Making or losing a sale
Resolving a complaint
Keeping a client or customer or losing them.

"There's no second chance for making a good first impression!"

Whether by personal contact or by voice mail, the experience of your customer should be of critical marketing concern.

A properly trained team member, especially your receptionist or telephone operator, is critically important.

Smile before you answer the telephone. It will help to put you in a positive frame of mind, which is communicated to the customer in the tone of your voice.
Answer on the second ring. After the third ring a customer is wondering if anyone is at work in your business.
Listen attentively.

If you have voice mail or an answering machine, your message is also important.

These guidelines will help your organization build more effective telephone skills.

Selling, Sales, Budgets, Telephone Marketing - We Have the Answer


Do you find yourself getting a little grumpy towards the end of the month when you are not achieving your numbers? Saying to yourself, “if I don’t sell something soon I’m going to be out of work” and it doesn't matter how many dial ups or follow up calls, no one is around, no one is getting back to you or responding?

I have those days. It was like, everyone is just too damn busy to read e-mails and return calls even though what you have to sell-show-service is going to save-make-improve their lives.

Feeling so discouraged I remembered meeting Lindy Connaughton at The Telephone Marketing Company and gave her a call. 
I re thought my sales patter, followed the preparation rules, and started again to contact some of these people who have been dodging me. Whether it was luck or maybe it is what you call professional but within ten minutes, I was laughing and talking to my prospects in a completely different way and making the selling process fun for them, too.

You don’t need to be afraid to ask them what they are thinking. It’s such a great question!  Great questions are mostly what you need to make a contact. Be prepared before the call is like having a full tank so that you can go that little bit further.

SERIOUS, PROFESSIONAL, SALESPERSON NEEDS ALL THE ANSWERS, IN A COMPETITIVE, BUSINESS ARENA.

The Telephone Marketing Company can support The Team – create a Team or Train a Team.

Our expertise of over 20 years holds us in good stead to help you expand your business.

Why not give us a call and find out how we can help your Sales improve
