Perhaps you've experienced this frustration too? I’d just spent six-straight hours cold calling prospects in my manufacturing sales business Fibrecore, and I’d not got a single glimmer of interest, let alone an appointment.
If you’re in B2B sales, you might know the feeling. Frankly, I was at my wit’s end.
The difficulty is, if senior decision makers don’t know who you are, they don’t want to speak to you. And if that carries on, you can end up demoralised and unproductive – which means you tend to lose other sales too.
That’s when I bumped into a fellow salesman at an exhibition in Paris who mentioned he’d got some high-value leads from Linkedin. With nothing to lose, I gave it a go.
Within weeks I had appointments with companies that had rejected my cold calls, managing directors of large manufacturing business coming to me to set up phone calls and an invite to be a keynote speaker at a manufacturing conference in Germany.
I realised that most people are unknowingly making at least one of three costly mistakes that stop them getting results.
Today, you can get the exact steps to getting more in-bound leads, warm phone calls and appointments from Linkedin in one of my fast and fun training courses. Everything I teach has been tried and tested, which means you only get advice that really works.
