<title>Yes, I Am Trying to Sell You Something And I&#39;m Proud of It!</title>
<description>If you follow proven sales practices, which include opening conversations well, probing for needs and the qualifications to buy, describing your products and services enticingly, asking for the deal more than once when necessary, and deflecting, delaying, and fully answering objections, while using them as closing devices, believe me, you&#39;ll sound exactly like a salesperson.  And that is precisely what you are paid for in the same way that doctors, lawyers, and other professionals are paid, says this top speaker, best-selling author, international consultant, and popular TV and radio expert commentator.</description>

<title>Telesales Scripts - Do You Love Or Hate Them?</title>
<description>With telesales script, you have people who either love them or hate them, there is no middle ground. There are a group of people who believe that a person reading a telesales script sounds absolutely computer like and thus fails to make any impression on the consumer.

<title>How Can You Develop Telemarketing Pro&#39;s in Four Hours or Less?</title>
<description>Sometimes it amazes me when I think back to my earliest telephone selling days at Time-Life Books. Like most starving students, I was squeaking by, lucky to pick up odd jobs here and there when I spotted a flyer in a guy&#39;s hand at the college job placement office. &#34;WANTED: BRIGHT, ARTICULATE STUDENTS!&#34; it bellowed. &#34;That&#39;s me!&#34; I announced from over the guy&#39;s right shoulder. &#34;Are you really interested in bright, articulate students? Well, I fit that description.&#34;</description>

<title>How to Coach The Sweet &#38; Sour Sales Rep</title>
<description>From all appearances coaching salespeople is pretty straightforward.  Observe your reps in action. Then, tell them what they&#39;re doing right and doing wrong.

<title>Why Telephone Sales Calls Are Doomed To Fail if You Fail To Do This One Thing</title>
<description>That&#39;s the problem, the action does not feel natural when you&#39;ve got to get started. A friend of mine who was my manager taught me that nothing cool happens before the first 100 tries. I also learned that the phone is not the best place to make a sale it&#39;s a great tool for getting to know someone&#39;s needs and to warm up a person for the gentle art of gaining trust.</description>

<title>Thanks, But I&#39;d Rather Reach Out &#38; Sell Someone</title>
<description>You know airlines are desperate when they replay the TV ad showing a boss distributing boarding envelopes to his minions as effortlessly as dealing a deck of playing cards.     He mutters something to the effect that they should get out there to speak to their customers.    The implication is clear: When your business really needs sales or to retain clients, there is no better way to do so than by getting on planes, securing rental cars, burning fossil fuels, spending impulsively on open-ended, unrestricted tickets, and ...</description>

<title>Every Business Should Unleash the Power of The &#34;Green Machine&#34;</title>
<description>While many notable onlookers attribute Detroit&#39;s decline to being insulated, arrogant, and slow to adapt, having been in the car business right out of college, I see their problems differently. To me, car retailers are hopelessly stuck in a business model that depends on doing business by car. They haven&#39;t fully grasped the implications of the Internet, and still insist on seeing prospects face to face.</description>

<title>The Role of Scripting in Telemarketing</title>

<title>Instead Of Yelling At A Recorded Message, Use A Caller Complaint Site</title>
<description>If there is anything more annoying than having a telemarketer phone you in the middle of dinner, that thing would be having a recorded telemarketer phoning you in the middle of dinner.

<title>When Telemarketers Are Driving You Crazy, Consumer Collective Action Against Them Is Your Solution</title>
<description>If you ask a group of people about the most annoying things in their lives, the odds are that the topic of telemarketers will come up pretty quickly.  When telemarketing first began, it is doubtful that anyone could have guessed how truly irritating the practice would become, and yet it remains a profitable enough activity that companies are willing to spend thousands of dollars on their telemarketing campaigns.

Perhaps, they are equating quantity with closing sales? Yes, it&#39;s important to make outbound calls, but what&#39;s even more important is how much research you do prior to making that first telephone call.</description>

<title>The How-Tos Of Selling Over The Phone</title>
<description>If you want to be successful in phone sales, you need to grab the customer&#39;s or potential customer&#39;s attention right away. If you &#34;smile when you dial&#34; and sound upbeat, there&#39;s a good chance you will have a captive audience. Once you grab the customer&#39;s or potential customer&#39;s attention, you need to get them to like and trust you. If a customer likes you and trusts you, they will buy from you. I used to sell to customers a coast away, who didn&#39;t know me or the products I sold and gave me their credit card number on the first call.</description>

<title>Like Sinatra, Telemarketing Keeps Ringing Cash Registers!</title>
<description>In a jab at today&#39;s music industry and its lack of bankable talents, a recent article noted how Frank Sinatra&#39;s renditions, many of them from the 1950&#39;s and 1960&#39;s, keep ringing cash registers while sales of new musical acts are making a thud.   Sinatra isn&#39;t &#34;back.&#34; He, like many other quality contributors, never went away, or at least he never went completely out of fashion.  The same can be said about telemarketing, says this professional speaker best-selling author, and popular radio and TV commentator.</description>
