One of the things inside salespeople must think more about is making it EASIER for a prospect to decide to respond.
Work is hard enough, don’t make it difficult for them to respond.
Here are some easy tips to follow!
#1 – ask them to take a simple action:
> at the bottom of your email, ask them to “please click reply…”
> in your voicemail “give me a quick call…”
> in a letter “register today…”
#2 – tell them why:
> why is it in their best interest to do as you ask? what will they get immediately (from taking the action NOT buying)?
> use the word “because” – I recently read a blog post by Art Sobczak stating; Dr. Kevin Hogan, author of Irresistible Attraction, says “People comply 66% more often when they hear a phrase with ‘because’ in it.”
#3 – change it up
> if voicemail doesn’t work, send an email
> if you don’t get a response to a letter, try social media
> a meeting request is a great thing to try when someone is really busy
Make it easy for them to respond and see your response rates soar.
