Professional firms can use telesales to open key accounts

I did some work for a well know accounting firm in the City and was asked to use my telesales approach to open some doors in their key corporate accounts. After 3 days of the project I had set up six meetings and we had a review meeting. The Managing Director of this particular division was delighted.  “We have been trying to get into these particular accounts for the past two years”, he exclaimed! After 6 weeks they managed to close one of this meetings and got £22K worth of Consultancy business. They then later engaged me to train their key account managers on how to use the approach themselves.

Feel -Sound-Cash!

You always know when some who calls you is feeling low and especially if is a salesperson and they hate their job; because they sound terrible. It is well researched that how you deliver your message or sound affects up to 70% of the impact of your call.

Sunny day -feeling Great!

Gosh it was hot on Sunday! Just like the Med everyone in their summer attire and as I went around the local supermarket there was that light cheerful atmosphere about the place.
