Proven sales appointment training

All the sales training in this section of the site has been developed with the sales teams I have managed and trained.

All the techniques have been used in real sales situations and proven successful by people that sell for a living. That means you can get the same results that they have achieved.

You can browse around the links below, read the brief notes, and click through to the pages that catch your interest.

If you are looking for a specific topic you can use the site map for this section of the website. It's in the right hand column of every page in the Appointment Setting section.


...You've probably noticed by now that this section focuses on cold calls. The sales training you'll discover here works for cold calling, warm leads, and inbound enquiries...

...We look at everything from a cold call perspective because they are the most difficult type of appointment setting calls...



The Stages of a Sales Appointment Call


Start with an attention grabbing introduction

Start your sales appointment call with an introduction that grabs the buyer's attention. Learn the key elements of a great introduction and what to leave out. Give your cold calls a great start by opening Cold Call scripts to build an introduction...


After the Introduction comes the Sales Question Motivators...

Motivate your prospect to answer questions

You've introduced yourself and told the prospect why you are calling.

Now you want to move to the questioning stage of the appointment call. This is where you find out if it is worth while making a sales appointment with them by qualifying the prospect.

If you don't give them a reason to answer your questions you will get objections, smoke screens, and hesitations. See this free training on Adding motivators & conectors to your appointment cold calling script...


Now the Qualifying Questions...

Questions to qualify your sales appointment prospect

You have introduced yourself, given your reason for calling, and motivated the prospect to move with you to the next stage of the appointment setting call.

Now you want to ask sales questions to qualify them as a potential customer. Qualifying well will mean you only meet with potential buyers, not time wasters or people that do not have a need for your products or services.

How should you now gain the agreement to an Appointment...
