Key Points
Personalization is Key:
Tailor marketing materials to the prospect by including their name, company info, and relevant challenges. Deep research, including checking the lobby, shows you care about their business.
Timing Matters:
Visit prospects at the right time. For service contractors, early morning (7–8 a.m.) works best. For restaurants, go in mid-afternoon (1:30–2:00 p.m.) to avoid busy periods.
Gatekeepers are Important:
Build rapport with gatekeepers. They’re often the first decision-makers. Knowing personal details about them can help you get through to the decision-maker.
Ask Open-Ended Questions:
Engage prospects with questions and listen more than you talk. Use phrases like "It sounds like..." to show you’re listening and build trust.
Memorable Marketing Materials:
Leave behind something tangible and unique, like a stainless-steel business card or personalized company gift, to stand out and be remembered.
Follow-Up is Crucial:
Use a structured follow-up strategy (email, call, in-person) to keep prospects engaged. Track and measure your conversion rates and timeline.
Handle Objections Gracefully:
Acknowledge objections with soft labeling like "It sounds like..." to encourage further conversation and address concerns.
Track Your Success:
Use a CRM or spreadsheet to track drops, follow-ups, and conversion rates. Data helps refine your process.
