Hey everyone,

I have been doing some research on calling businesses on the phone and trying to set up some appointments. But being the rookie I am, I could not piece together a beginning statement if I tried. Also a couple of morsels from anyone on qualifying them on the phone. I am looking at small businesses, for health, disabilty and such.

Thanks In Advance,

Rick E

Re: Calling Business             Go to Top

Well as I said I am having diffculty putting something down. i guess with whom I am i want to do by best to try not to be to scripted, Want I think I am looking for is the qualifying questions i want to cover to get the information I need

#1 are they currently covered
#2 whos the carrier
#3 are they intrested in getting a quote and possibly saving money.
#4 set the appointment

This is very basic and reading here I know ask if they have time and ask for a call back if I need to call back..etc.etc

So if there is anything of the basics I need to add please fell free to throw it out there

Thanks in advance

Search this forum using the following words: Cold calling, scripts, telephone, prospecting, etc. I think you will find tons of helpful information. Also the follwoing books have good techniques: Prospecting Your Way to Sales Success by Bill Good and Secrets of Question Based Selling by Thomas Freese. There are a lot of other good books as well. I have also personally picke dup a lot of good script ideas from Topgunproducers.com.

Rick, If you want to call me and discuss this we are having great success generating appointments by calling businesses.

And No, you do not have ot buy my leads for me to help you. I love to train others how to generate their own business as well. Karma always pays me back ten fold.

I reseached this exact option for months and ran several BETA testing campaigns trying to figure it all out. I feel my company really has it down now with the help of many of hte memebers here. I can share with you some of my expiences so far and what I have learned if you would like to hear them.

Call me and Ill do my best to help you out!
