This weeks tip: Run to Ring!
I recently posted a question on my Facebook Fan page (Facebook.com/DirectSalesTWISTS)
asking what the biggest fear of consultants is. Unanimously, it was
the fear of the phone. You might have heard advice not to be fearful
of this inanimate object. However, one fear you MUST always have is
If you don’t call your prospects right now, somebody else will.
I will forever remember getting my nerve up to call someone who has
asked me to “call back later.” I came up with all the reasons not to
call her. Finally I dialed her number. To my relief, she was thrilled
to hear from me and enthusiastically announced, “I just dated a party
with your company; I can’t wait to hold it!”
Obviously, she was now someone else’s host. Did that cure my phone
phobia? Not altogether, but when I do hesitate, I get SCARED! I scare
myself by remembering that prospects are waiting for me to contact
them and if I don’t someone else will.
As you prepare your business for summer, you’ll learn that people are
beginning to make plans now. If their summer calendars are getting
filled, the time to book their parties is NOW before they get too
busy.
And, if your product will be a solution to their busy summer or
something they’ll need while enjoying their activities, all the more
reason to RUN TO RING right now.
