Being Persistent Without Being Pushy in Your Sales
Hey Christian Coaches,
Ever wondered how to be persistent in your sales calls without coming off as pushy?
I want to dive into a fantastic question from Christina Greenfield in our Christian Coaches Community about mastering persistence without coming across as pushy. It's a crucial skill that can elevate your sales calls.
Let's tackle this from four different angles:
- When Prospecting:
- Start with a text: Remember prospecting is an invitation… You can simply send a friendly introduction and explain why you'd like to connect with this person.
- Second follow-up: If no response, a courteous follow-up is in order, ensuring they saw your first message.
- Creativity in the third attempt: Add a touch of humor with a funny GIF to break the pattern and grab attention.
- The understanding fourth attempt: Acknowledge that they must be really busy, validate non-response, and suggest you will follow-up in six months.
- When showing up in your Sales Calls:
- Use curiosity: When objections arise during a sales call, pivot with curiosity. Seek to understand rather than bombard with rehearsed responses. Understand their concerns to guide them to the best decision.
- When Following-Up:
- Always book the next call: Never end a call without yes, no, or the next call booked, even if it's for a follow-up in the future. This avoids the pushy follow up dilemma and keeps the conversation open.
- When doing your marketing:
- Consistent nurturing: Nurture your audience consistently. Value, value, value—then assertive asks won't seem out of place. Build trust through unwavering consistency.
