I am always watching how the phone is being used and the outcomes being achieved by using it. I was watching Locaton Location last night and I was reminded how quite large negociations over property, although “just putting in a offer” are carried out over the phone. Conventional business wisdom especially here in the UK tends to dictate that buisiness should be done and closed in a face to face environment. However there is so much evidence that flies in the face of this. I remember years ago reading in a software sales magazine that a deal had been closed for £400,000!

I got some great feedback from one of my clients today as I was asking him what made me different in my approach to telesales.
