Collect customer information

To convince someone, you first need to know who they are, what they need, and what they want. Picking up the phone without any customer information means you are preparing for a call to fail completely.

But why is there so much detailed information? Because each customer is different, from circumstances, needs to personality, only when you understand them well can you give convincing advice and lead them to your product.

Have the script ready

This sales secret may not work much for experienced Telesales employees, but it is very necessary for those who are new to the profession. In the script, there will be greetings, opening words, leading sentences, redirecting the topic or even apologizing, thanking customers. Although it is only a small detail, it will be very helpful for a beginner like you, helping you to communicate with guests properly and without getting stuck leading to stuttering.

Replace questions with suggestions

So, instead of using questionable questions, offer suggestions, suggesting options for guests. For example: “Can I see you XYZ this Wednesday or Thursday? For convenience, I will meet you near my store or if you see a good place, can you suggest me?”
The suggestions will make customers feel respected and … easier to breathe. They won’t like it when they arrange everything, so give them a few options to choose from, you can also keep the initiative.
