Let’s not forget that buyers are taking more control over the purchasing process than ever before. Gate keepers. Privacy laws. “Don’t call me, I’ll call you.” Couple the aforementioned facts with the reluctance on the part of inside sales and outside sales reps to call leads, and the phone can collect dust faster than a broom.

As sellers. we typically reach out to as many people in the buying organization as we can.

Is business voicemail dead? While there are statistics that share voicemail’s decline in the business world , we can’t avoid the fact that 80% of all cold calls will reach the decision maker’s voicemail inbox. As we’ve shared in past blog posts on cold calling , saying that something is ‘dead’ is becoming a catchy headline and a trend. However, 9 times out of 10, these are mere theories supported by lax evidence.

I just received a note from Amazon. I had just bought a Kindle book. Along with the order acknowledgment, they congratulated me on earning a book credit of $1.40. I get those, often, but for some reason I paid attention to the email today. What leapt out to me was the fact that I had to use this credit in a very short period of time, otherwise it would expire.

The main outcome of discovery for most salespeople is to identify the client's problem and its impact. The reason the salesperson needs a problem is that in absence of a problem, there is no need for their "solution," a word designed to inflate a product or a service into something both the salesperson and their prospective client believes to be greater.
