Casual Articles - Cold Calling Shocker! WHO is Your Best Ally?
For a small-business owner they know that a big banner in front of their store with advertising will help them sell more products or sign up more people for service. Some cities and towns have ordinances that do not allow small-business owners to put up the banner ads all year round. Instead they are only allowed to do it so many times per month.This is why sometimes it pays to look at multiple ways to advertise to promote one's small-business. Which works better; Direct-mail marketing in those little coupon advertising books or a gigantic b

That’s right, the affectionately referred to gatekeeper, bull dog, mean-spirited witch on the other end of the phone … in polite terms referred to as The Executive Assistant … is without question your most powerful ally who wants to help you get face time with the executive.
Yep. She is the keeper of the keys to the executive suites. Treat her wrong and she’ll keep the door securely closed. Treat her right and you’ll be amazed at how quickly you’ll get the coveted sales meeting with THE decision maker.
As a whole, sales professionals mistreat executive assistants.
How do I know that? Executive assistants told me so! I asked them pointed questions, and they answered.
I went on the road, visited four cities and interviewed executive assistants. During the interviews, these women candidly revealed the many things sales professionals do wrong during cold calls to executives. Additionally, these powerful women generously gave several important tips as to how to win them over during a cold call.
Warning: The truth hurts, but it will also set you free. You’ll want to take a deep breath as you read and process what Assistants say:

Looking for work can be difficult, frustrating, anxiety-provoking, and demeaning.There are few situations we encounter in life where we feel so powerless. Not only do we have a sense that we have little control over the outcome, but we also feel judged. We become objectified, presented like a colt at a yearling auction or a slave on the bidding block. We walk, we talk, we run around in circles, while the "buyers" look us over, discuss our finer points and weaknesses, and make their decision to buy or reject. We are keenly aware of the competit

If you're like most of us, as soon as you've paid your fee to become a distributor, the first thing you want to know is: "How do I build my organization and make "X" number of dollars a month?" Amazingly, a lot of big money earners may give answers to that question that bring you no closer to achieving your goals than you were before.For example: 1. "Talk to people."

Several years ago, I was sitting in my high school guidance counselor’s office because I want to find some help about my future career. I really had no idea about what I want to be when I grow up, so it was quite a daunting experience. I need career advice because I was a bit overwhelmed by the huge number of things that I want to do in the future.Some people know what they want to do in the future, while others need help with their decision. Many people have to turn to someone else for career advice because they don’t know what they want even
“Sales professionals call and are rude, pushy, and treat me as though I don’t matter. It’s clear that the only person they believe has value is the executive. Fact is, the executive thinks I’m important enough to trust me with his calendar and to run the business in his absence. Do they think I deserve disrespect?”
“I’d never let sales persons know I was laughing, that would be rude. I represent the office of the executive and do my levelheaded best to be respectful at all times. But seriously, you have to laugh. These people call, ask for an appointment, I say ‘no’ and they call again … with a disguised voice. Do they think I don’t recognize that fact? Please!”
“My first day on the job I told my executive how I handle the daily onslaught of inbound telephone calls from people asking for him. With his approval of my methods I went to the receptionist and told her specifically, how to determine which calls should be sent through, and which calls should be screened out.”
These phone behaviors tell executive assistants a caller does not belong:
1. “A caller who talks too fast, making me feel pushed against the wall rather than conversed with.”
2. “A sales person who does not announce the bottom line reason for the call and goes to rambling, asking lots of questions to which they should already have answers.”
3. “A man or woman who talks as though he or she is a friend of the executive, but I have never heard mention of them.”
4. “A pleasant enough
