However, as an business owner/entrepreneur, the telephone is one of the single most important tools at your command.

Then set a goal for your call that will move the potential customer/prospect closer to a buying decision, such as gaining an appointment or preparing a price quote.

Upgrade Your Products
We all know America has a deep, almost problematic, obsession with reality television shows these days. I don’t know about you, but I know I spend a good part of my day discussing how trashy and just straight out dumb all reality television is, but at the end of the conversation I always say, “Well, I can’t lie though, I’m a huge sucker for reality shows.” My favorite might have to be the makeover shows, whether they make over a person, house, culinary dish or whatever, I love to see how amazing an object or person can look after a few upgrades. Well, the same things appl

When introducing your company, be sure you can describe what you do in just a short phrase: "This is Susan DeFiore, of DeFiore Enterprises. We are lease purchase consultants."

By stating your benefit clearly in your opener, you give the person a good reason to listen further.

Effective telephone contact is made up of two components: Asking good questions and listening carefully to the answers. Ask questions to qualify prospects and overcome objections. Again, for those of us in lease purchasing, we use our telephone script to obtain all the information we need.

There are two types of questions: closed-ended and open-ended. Closed-ended questions are fact-finders. They can be answered with a fact, a "yes" or a "no". An example of a closed-ended question is: "Would Lease Purchasing work for you?"

Open-ended questions are used to draw someone into a conversation. They reveal the emotion behind the facts. "What do you like best about your home?" is an example of an open-ended question.

So plan in advance the types of questions you'll ask prospects. Do this even before you get on the telephone. If you can, practice on friends or family. Get their input.
