Got my first sales call hang up today

rob · 08-03-2010, 02:50:15 PM

Anyone who has done this before for ad sales let me know via email

Edwin · 08-03-2010, 02:51:16 PM

Do people really swear at you because you happened to call them about something relevant (I assuming you're calling companies i.e. people are answering at their place of work)? That's pretty disturbing!

Or were you paraphrasing above?

(You can probably tell I've never done any telephone selling...)

Open to having a chat with someone about straight commission based inventory sales. Have done previous stuff like that before which has worked very well for all parties.

Just got another hang-up when I mentioned what some people have valued the name at. He did not even listen to what I said...

Damn some people....do people even have ears?

mat · 08-03-2010, 04:18:05 PM

I normaly send a letter or email with all the details, then offering to call them or respond by email. They will do whatever they feel comfortable with. If they dont reply then get the message! No point trying to sell something to someone who doesnt want it!

disruptive · 08-03-2010, 04:27:27 PM

They have replied....but they do not get it - thats why I call them as its often easier to discuss than email. Had good experience in the past..provided people DO actually listen.

I must admit that I probably feature on training courses for telesales people as an example of an unhappy 'customer'.

Just out of curiosity, how many of you guys who cold call to sell domains actually check the TPS register prior to calling? The last domain seller who called me, I informed him of how I was registered with TPS and if reported could face a fine of up to �5,000 for making an unsolicited sales call. Anyway - he ended up hanging up on me!
