On average a sales person spends less than two hours per day selling their products. This statistic never seized to amaze me, even though I had often found myself being an active participant of its findings.

this is true.

Try this simple technique if you have not already. From 1pm to 3pm, find a secluded place in your office where you can hide out so you can concentrate on making phone calls, if a secluded place is not available, than work from your desk, however, make everyone in your office well aware that you are making sales calls and that you are not to bothered, regardless of the reason (barring major emergencies of course). Kindly ask them to hold all your messages until you are done.(I have no doubt you will get your boss’s approval on this).

Once you have started don’t stop for anything, don’t surf the web or get side tracked by conversations going on in the office. Act as if no one in your office exists except for you, and bang out your phone calls!

More than likely between 1pm and 3pm you will be getting peoples answering machines, no problem, this is exactly what you want. Your goal should be to leave twenty to twenty-five messages during this time. On average, two of these prospects will return your call.

Think of it this way, it’s no different from a mailer or a door hanger, except it’s better because it is personalized with your voice!
