| Article Title :: Get Instant Rapport On Sales Cold Calls |
| |
| Immediately establish rapport on cold-calls by matching your prospect's voice qualities - tone, pace, and emotion. Matching the emotion, or mood, of your prospect is key. If you begin your call sounding excited when she is not, you will be immediately branded as a salesperson, and the prospect's guard will be way up.
By matching her emotion, you immediately get her thinking "this person is like me". And we all want to talk to people like us. Begin your call with a simple question to verify the prospect's name even though you know who you are calling. This is your first chance to establish rapport.

| Article Title :: Phone Tips To Get Things Done: Professional Phone Skills |
| |
| It happens all the time, you hear someone over the telephone and you make a generalization about the person you are speaking with. It may not be fair and it is akin to judging a book by its cover, but it's true nevertheless.Within 60 seconds, people will make assumptions about one's education, background, ability and personality based on their voice alone.What type of impression is your "phone" voice making? Indeed there are two areas you should be aware of when speaking. One is "what' you say, the other the "how" you say it. Studies show that as much as 87% of the listener's opinion of you is based on your voice alone. That leaves only 13% allocated to what we are (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Telemarketers May Have Ruined Everything |
| |
| I had to really look at things a little different
when I started calling people. Now I am not a
telemarketer. I call people only when they request it.The problem is, they usually don’t remember filling
out the form or they don’t remember why I am calling.
Most of the time, I get polite people but on occasions,
it's pure hell.It’s like these people should think that their phone
is off limits to everyone. I even got some people
filling out my form with the name “who Cares”. What
kind of a name is that. How am I suppose to reply
to that?Simply put, I just deny getting letters like that.
To be in marketing, you sometimes have to have thick
