Increase Customer Acquisition & Eliminate Cold Calling

The days of cold calling are virtually over, replaced with a more intelligent approach to customer acquisition.

• Most people find sales calls intrusive. With caller ID, many people don’t even answer their phones anymore unless they know who is calling
• Usually, the person making cold calls dislikes them as much as the recipient
• Statistics show that conversion rates for cold calls are only about 2%

 

 

What is the purpose of cold calling?

Cold calling is the solicitation of prospects who are not expecting your call. It’s ‘cold’ because no upfront groundwork has been laid prior to making the call, so the recipient of your call is not engaged in your message. In short, it’s a hit and miss effort that takes more time to achieve conversion.

So, how do you engage a prospect and move the conversion process forward at a faster pace?

Well, given that cold calls have about a 2% conversion rate, compared to a 20% conversion rate for qualified leads, it makes more sense to concentrate resources on qualified leads. But, where can you find qualified leads who are ready to make a purchase commitment?
