Heat Up Your Cold Calls: How to Get Prospects to Listen, Respond, and Buy

Learn the New Way to Cold Call—Effectively, Ethically … and Legally Salespeople hate making cold calls. Now, you don’t have to. As a sales professional, you need to find and approach a steady stream of qualified prospects. But the legal landscape and new technologies, along with the explosion of competing solicitations, have numbed the decision makers you’ve been targeting, making old-fashioned cold calling ineffective, frustrating and, as result of the National Do-Not-Call Registry, often illegal.

Walther will teach you how to convert obstacles like voice mail, overzealous assistants, and skeptical prospects into powerful allies that help you ""warm up"" prospects and achieve better sales results.

The book reveals the important steps to take before making calls, including strategies to:

• ""Warm up"" a prospect with automated non-spam e-mail

• Use voice mail to establish a compellingly positive first impression

• Develop a messaging strategy that builds your credibility

• Demonstrate your pre-existing relationship, even when neither of you thinks you have one

• Use the Internet to sleuth and “preheat” your prospects
