Gathering clients to fill your
sales pipeline can be slow and tedious if done
one phone call at a time. Proper use of certain
marketing technologies can accelerate your sales
cycle exponentially. Reaching a live suspect
with a cold call, is intrusive, and can push the
suspect into a defensive posture. This is where
voice mail marketing can be used to accelerate
the sales cycle. Voice mail is also more
personal than email.
The first few calls to
a suspect should be “marketing”,
not “sales”. The first voice mail
message should be used to identify you and
the product. Subsequent messages should
remain brief, but continue to add value,
and build on previous messages. Each message
should request a return call, but don’t
expect one. |
Persist, by leaving more informational
and educational messages that help the suspect
learn about strategies, benefits, and how you
can help. Interval your messages based on the
particularities of the suspect's industry.
This Voice mail marketing strategy sends a clear
message to your suspect, that you:
- Respect their time
- Believe you have something of value for them,
due to your persistence
- Have credibility, by delivering messages that
build to a conclusive point.
- Are investing your time in them, since they
view this as a cold call.
- Appear authentic, with your succinct, progressive
messaging.

Cold
calls and phone calls are generally viewed with distrust
or suspicion which can easily derail or end the
conversation prematurely. You feel compelled
to explain yourself quickly during the intrusion,
with fear of being quickly dismissed before you
can make your point. Before a relationship can
be developed, a starting level of trust needs
to be established.
Voice mail familiarizes the
suspect with your proposition, in advance, at
their leisure, and without intrusion. Voicemail
reduces the suspicion and begins to establish
a relationship before selling can even take place.
When suspects begin to
return phone calls, they will have moved from
defensive to receptive. Your suspect has become
a prospect. Voice mail marketing can by-pass
cold calling, and accelerate your sales efforts
to the warm call stage.
