How to Get Past the Gatekeeper:
“Hi, could you please connect me with_________, please?”

You respond with:
“Yes, please, please tell him _______ _______ with the
(your company) is holding please.”

Don’t Open Your Calls This Way:
Nothing identifies you as a salesperson
more than:
“How are you today?”
![Page 9: 5 Secrets to Successful Prospecting Over the Phone in 2012 by Mike Brooks (Mr. Inside Sales) for @datadotcom](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081715/54875417b4af9faf0d8b53e0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Instead, Use the Right Opening
• “How’s your Thursday going?”
• “Is it raining there, too?”
• “Can you hear me OK?”
![Page 10: 5 Secrets to Successful Prospecting Over the Phone in 2012 by Mike Brooks (Mr. Inside Sales) for @datadotcom](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081715/54875417b4af9faf0d8b53e0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
How to Build Instant Rapport
“________, we haven’t spoken yet….
“I got your name from…..
“And briefly, I just wanted to see if what we provide might be able to help you (whatever your product or service does…)”
Now ask a quick qualifying question
![Page 11: 5 Secrets to Successful Prospecting Over the Phone in 2012 by Mike Brooks (Mr. Inside Sales) for @datadotcom](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081715/54875417b4af9faf0d8b53e0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The One Response to Handle Initial
Resistance
This one response will work when you get:
“I’m not interested” or,
“We already have a company”
![Page 12: 5 Secrets to Successful Prospecting Over the Phone in 2012 by Mike Brooks (Mr. Inside Sales) for @datadotcom](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081715/54875417b4af9faf0d8b53e0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The One Response to Handle Initial
Resistance
“ I understand ________, and I’m not calling to sell you anything today. Rather,
I’m here to see if there might be a fit between our two companies and if there is,
then to offer you an additional resource you might be able to use later on.
Let me ask you…”
“If I could show you a way…”
“What would it mean to you if you could….”
“How important is it for you to…”

Just Send Me Your Information
“I’d be happy to email you our information.
(Prospect’s name) I have a 64 page PDF file that I
can email you, but do you mind if I ask you just a
couple of quick questions so I can only send you
that part that you’d be most interested in?”

Get a Commitment for
the Next Call
• Get an appointment or date for your next
contact.

• What has your prospect committed to doing
before that next call?
