You’re losing $20k/m because of this
Fix this mistake NOW
You’re TANKING your close rate within the first 10 seconds of your sales calls
You’re being way too friendly
You start your calls off by saying “where are you from” and then “do you like living there?”
Absolutely abysmal
If you do this, then your prospects are going to think
I can just waste this persons time and give them a bs objection and they’ll just let me leave
You don’t frame yourself in the right way when you start your calls off like this
Your prospect needs to know that you’re HIM
They need to value your time
And
Paint you as an authority figure
So this is how you’re going to do that
Show up a couple minutes late to your call
I know, very surprising
Everyone’s probably told you the opposite
Here’s the thing though
You’re going to text your prospect 5 minutes before your calls starts and say
“Hey (name), wrapping up an onboarding call right now, might be a few minutes late”
This will automatically frame you well
You’ll hop on and the prospect will know that you’re time is valuable
At this point you’re actually on the call
Open up by stating how busy you’re with sales calls today
And ask them for permission if you can get right into things
This again frames you in the right way
Do both of those things and i promise you that you’ll have less objections
And in turn, you’ll close more deals
