    Finding a Job Under Tough Circumstances
    Anyone can find a job. That’s right, I said “anyone”. And I meant it. But the caveat is: I didn’t say what kind of job.

    We all learned in Sales 101 we must follow up with our prospects until they buy. Unfortunately, while we’re busy trying to make all these follow-ups, some very fine prospects who are ready to buy now are flying under our radar.

    The trick in sales is to talk to buyers. Rather than responding, “Duh!”, professional sales people find this the hardest discipline to execute. But like most successful strategies, it requires a tactical plan. If you’ve been relying solely on follow-up phone calls to close sales, why not try this plan for 30 days?

    1. Create a follow-up activity series. If you use ACT! or another contact manager, assign the series after you send your proposal. If you close the sale, you can always end the series early. Your series could look like this:

    0 Day—Proposal Sent

    2 Days—Follow-up Phone Call

    4 Days—Follow-up Email

    7 Days—Follow-up Voice Mail

    2. Write a compelling voice mail script. Limit it to 10-15 seconds. (Time it!) Start with your name, company and phone number (which gives the recipient an opportunity to retrieve your number without having to wait for the entire message to play).
