Cold calling - is this technique of selling over the phone effective? Selling transport services: a script or a head How to sell logistics services correctly

A sales manager of almost any service always has a question: how can you sell something that you can neither feel with your hands nor see with your eyes? Especially if the seller is a beginner andsale transport services and the script is not just given.

Unlike a conventional product, selling an intangible service is a very difficult task. And in the case of a service purchase and sale transaction, the buyer has a slight feeling of misunderstanding: “how is it so, I pay quite real and tangible money for a “good” that I can’t even see?”

In this sense, the sale of transport services and all logistics services are not in the best position. In addition to the fact that these are services, the attitude to logistics is also not quite ordinary.

I think there is no need to talk about how important efficient logistics is for a company, let's talk about how to increase sales of transport services.

So how to effectively sell transportation services over the phone: do you need a script or not?

Today the most effective way of sales is active sales. It is worth noting here that the standard approach to active sales is no longer so fruitful and does not bring the desired result.

That is why such sales of transport services should be divided into two components:

- work of sales department specialists;

- conduct of negotiations.

As a rule, sales department specialists are employees with rich experience in the field of logistics, strategic thinking and ownership oratory. After all, the task of a sales manager is to bypass competitors and all the “barriers” in order to reach the decision maker, interest him, make the best offer for him, and, as a result, organize the first meeting with him.

The second component is negotiation. In no case is it acceptable to lose the trust of a potential client. That is why people with knowledge and experience not only in the field of logistics, but also in financial, legal and accounting services go to the meeting. The main task of this employee is the prompt decision-making without the involvement of third parties.

In both cases, the employee is simply obliged to master the technique of eloquence so that he can highlight the main advantages of the company, correctly present information and achieve the trust and disposition of the client.

A few tips for effective work With active sales transport services:

Invite a potential client to evaluate your work according to certain criteria at each stage of work. With the help of this technique, weak points can be identified and, in the future, their elimination.

Always keep in touch with the client. Selling transport services is a very complex process, explain to the client the specifics of your work, explain the motives for your actions, show how certain indicators are calculated. This will help to build trust in the company and help to get rid of the feeling of deceit.

Conduct trainings, seminars for employees of your company, primarily for employees of the sales department. After all, as you know, Sales Representative is the face of the company.

Master class on working with typical objections when selling transport services:

So, let's conduct a master class using a sales script.

Suppose a new call has arrived at the company. We set the task for this, the first call: to break through the secretary and send the CP / Commercial offer by mail.

Let's look at some answers to frequently asked questions/statements during the initial telephone conversation.

1 call script for the transportation services sales script:

Client: We are not interested

Company: - Customs clearance 30% below the market is also not interested?
- What might be of interest?

Client: — Why should we work with you?

Company: — We have our own transport.

— We can offer a price lower than 20% of the market.

Client: I don't have time

Company: - I understand, when will it be convenient? In principle, I have only a minute of information here - can I tell you?

2 scenario of a call according to the script of sales of transport services:

Client: - You must be expensive!

Company: - For all the years of work on the market, we were able to make the most acceptable conditions on the market. Do you want to talk or with whom you can discuss?

— How expensive is it? At what rate would you give the goods? What do you include in the price? Our price corresponds to this moment market price.

- I'll talk to my superiors about the price, is that all that you don't like?
– Well, at what price are you willing to work?, I will be happy to develop for you individual offer after talking with the management, I think we can offer something for you ....

3 script of a call according to the script of sales of transport services :

Client: - I was told not to connect anyone with anyone, if you want, send a CP to info. (info-Doggy-Farewell forever - a joke from the sellers)

Company: — Info often ends up in SPAM or doesn't reach. Can I have personal mail?
- And about 30% customs clearance Does your logistician know? Let me talk to him over the phone!

This is only a small part of the questions that may arise during the dialogue when selling transport services. Considering all your negotiation experience, try to throw several options for questions and answers to them before the dialogue.

Now consider the second call to the client in the sale of transportation services.

Task: to convince the decision maker / Decision Maker to make the first miscalculation and order.

Try to build a dialogue on the second call as follows:

Contact.

Find out from your opponent how best to contact him, and whether he has read your offer.

Revealing needs.

To calculate the rate, you need to check with the client:
1) what to bring;

2) where to take;

3) when to deliver;

4) optional, but desirable:

— planned or actual traffic volume;

- the desired rate or the real rate at which they are working now;

- terms of payment.

Important: Ask more open questions to understand the customer's need.

Miscalculation.

Specify whether it will be convenient, right now, to roughly calculate the cost estimate, or is it better to send an offer by mail?

Clearly calculate the route and send the decision by mail. Agree on when the next step of your communication will be.

Presentation of your services.

“We can make you the best deal on the market!”

“We have been on the market for more than one year, and this will give you confidence that everything will be reliable and of high quality.”
Provide additional facts/strong benefits:

- "I myself personally control the delivery of your cargo from point A to point B."

“We work with all major companies in the CIS.”

“You can do everything in one place: we can transport 100% of your needs on any route.”

Important: Speak the language of the Client. Tell me about your strongest advantage. Based on the needs of the client.

Dealing with objections in the sale of transport services.

— “Are you ready to make a purchase or do you have any questions?”

Tip: The Client almost always has doubts. If the Client did not voice it himself, feel free to ask:

“Are you satisfied with everything? I was able to offer what you need? Is there anything else that bothers me?"

Exchange of contact information.

- "What phone number are you always available on?"

- "Which email should I send you route information to?"

Important: Try to take as many contacts of all interested parties as possible. Personal mail and personal mobile phone– always better than corporate contacts.

Completion.

Agreement on the next step.

"Ivan Ivanovich, what is our next step?"

"Which address should I send the proposal to?"

“What time would it be convenient for you to call tomorrow?”

“Do you like everything? Are we taking it?"

“We have a promotion until the end of the day - minus 7%. New prices tomorrow. Would you like to place an order?"

Important: Remember! You are not a reference! You are a seller. And your success is measured by the number of deals made, not by the number of answers to the Client's questions. Close the deal in your favor - sell!

Exit the conversation.

— “(NAME), Thank you for contacting our company! Is there anything else I can help you with? Have we resolved all the issues?

— "(NAME), Have a good day and see you soon!”

Important: End the conversation only on a positive note. (smile)

Hello! In this article, we will talk about such a phone sales tool as a script.

Today you will learn:

What is a conversation script with a client on the phone;
How to write a sales script over the phone;
What types of telephone sales scripts exist .

What is a phone sales script

A phone for a marketer is not only a means of communication, it is also an excellent channel for promoting and distributing products.

To understand how to sell a product using only a telephone conversation, you need to remember the specifics of telephone communication:

Solution. Usually, modern man makes calls to find out or agree on something, in other words, to solve a problem;
Brevity. A telephone conversation is always shorter than a face-to-face conversation on the same topic;
Dialogue. Phone conversation always involves a dialogue between two people.

Not every sales manager is able to briefly describe to the client his proposal for solving the problem that needs to be identified in the process of a telephone dialogue with the client. Therefore, in order for the conversation between the seller and the potential client to turn into sales, it is advisable to use pre-written dialogue scripts or scripts.

Script - a script for a dialogue between a sales manager and a client, designed to improve the efficiency of the former and attract the latter.

You need a phone sales script if:

Do you sell by phone?
Your office employs at least three managers for the implementation of telephone sales and telephone counseling for clients (a smaller number is easier and cheaper to train to work without scripts);
Do you want to raise overall efficiency telephone sales. In this case, the effectiveness of individual managers may decrease.

If you agreed with each point, then we need to move on and decide what types of phone sales scripts are right for you.

In total, four types of scripts are distinguished, depending on the level of development of the client and the market in which the client is represented. Each type of script involves its own telephone sales technique.

Warm customer base

Cold customer base

Consumer segment

A “warm” script is used if you call a potential client who recently made a targeted action in relation to your company: made a purchase, registered on the site, visited the store, and so on. That is, you know that this client interested in your product.

The goal of the manager is to remind about the company, to offer products that may be of interest to this consumer, to convince him of the usefulness of this product.

In this case, you are calling "blindly". Probably, your interlocutor does not know about your company and product at all.

The goal of the manager is to inform the interlocutor about the company, identify the client's problems and offer options for solving these problems. That is, the manager must get a completely new client for the company

Industrial segment

Any of these types is based on the following principles:

Equality. You and your client are partners. You should not persuade the client to take a targeted action or accept unfavorable conditions. Your job is to see the client's problem and offer a solution. The client's business is to refuse or agree. Otherwise, you will lose the client's respect for your company;
Cooperation. You should not argue with the client, you should prove to him that he really needs your product and the purpose of your call is to help. To do this, you need to ask a potential client such questions, the answers to which you know in advance. For example, manager: "Do you use a lot of paper per month?" Client: "yes" Manager: "do you buy a new ream of paper every week" Client: "yes" Manager: "would you like our company delivered paper to your office every week at a convenient time for you?”

In this example, we offer a solution to the client's problem and in doing so we use the law of three "yes";

Knowledge. The sales manager must know the specifics of the company, understand its products and services.

Script structure

Now that we have decided on the types of the script, let's decide on its structure. Since scripts for the consumer market are significantly different from scripts for the industrial market, we will analyze them separately. Let's start with the consumer segment.

Structure of the script for the consumer segment

To clearly show what is the difference between scripts for a warm and cold customer base, we will display the structure of the scripts in a small table.

	warm base	cold base
Greetings	Introductory phrase: good afternoon (evening, morning)	Introductory phrase: good afternoon (evening, morning)
Performance	"Customer name", my name is "manager name", I am a representative of the company "company name"	“My name is “manager name”, how can I contact you? I am a representative of the company "company name", we are engaged in .... " You do not need to give the name of the client, even if you know it!
Finding out the circumstances	We find out whether it is convenient for the interlocutor to talk now (if not, then we discuss the time when it will be possible to call back)	We find out whether it is convenient for the interlocutor to talk now (if not, then we discuss the time when it will be possible to call back)
Clarifying questions	We remind the client that he recently purchased our product or performed another targeted action. For example: “Last week you purchased our product “name”. Did you like it?"	We reveal the need of the client: “Do you know the problem ...?” "Would you like to get rid of her?"
Purpose of the call	We indicate the purpose of the call: “Yesterday we received new product, complementing "the name of the product that was already purchased earlier." It will allow you to achieve a double effect and save you from the problem for a long time ... ”Here the consumer either purchases the product or objects	We offer our product/service to the client. If the client objects, we proceed to the next step.
Answer to objection	We use all the positive characteristics of a product or company to convince the consumer of the need for this product	We identify the reason for the refusal to purchase the product. We solve the problem for which the consumer refused, as a rule, it is necessary to solve three such problems
goodbye	Thank you for taking the time to visit us, we look forward to seeing you in our store. Goodbye"	Thank you for taking the time to visit us, we look forward to seeing you in our store. Goodbye"

Structure of a cold calling script for an industrial client

In this case, it would be advisable to omit the conversation script with the industrial client from the warm database. As a rule, it corresponds to the conversation script for the warm base of the consumer segment.

for industrial customers will consist of the following steps:

Preliminary. We send to email potential customer your commercial offer. This must be done half an hour before the call is made. Write down the goals of the conversation;

Search for a contact person who makes a decision in the client company on your issue;
Secretary bypass. As a rule, the secretary of the responsible person, who has his own script for refusal, will answer you first. You need to bypass it. To do this, adhere to the following rules:

It is necessary to show by intonation and manner of speaking that the responsible person needs this cooperation more than you;
Clear, correct, confident speech;
The following phrase should sound in the conversation: “Who can I talk to about this issue” (“Contact me with the person responsible for this issue”).

Talking to the decision maker. The structure of the script for a conversation with the responsible person of the company will look like this.

Stage	Action
Greetings	Introductory phrase: good afternoon (evening, morning) “Interlocutor’s name”
Performance	We call our first and last name
Clarifying questions and product introduction	Do you use communication services from our company "name"? Now we have a new offer for regular customers it will cost twice as much. It will allow you to “name those benefits that are of interest to your interlocutor.” For example, for the boss - cost reduction and profit, for ordinary workers - simplification of work
Work with objections	We identify the reason for the refusal to purchase the product. We solve the problem for which the consumer refused. As a rule, three such problems need to be solved
goodbye	Thank you for your time, we will be glad to cooperate / see you / tomorrow our specialist will come to you at the appointed time

An example of handling objections

At the end of the article, I would like to focus on this particular block, since it is the most dangerous in terms of losing a client.

Objection	Answer
We don't need this product	"The product is able to solve the problem with ...". Doesn't help, can you suggest alternative product and name its useful qualities for the client
I have no time to talk (after the clarification stage)	“It won't take more than 10 minutes. I can call back at another time. At your convenience?"
We already have a supplier, he suits us	“We do not propose to replace your current partners, we propose to supplement them so that everyone is comfortable working and there are no such problems as “listing the client's problems”
Expensive	Many of our customers pointed out the high price, but all questions were removed after they tried our product. Let's give you a 20% discount on your first order so that you can be sure of this.

In fact, there may be many more objections, we have given only the most common options. It is important to think through each and work through it so that the manager can give a clear rebuff and not lose the client.

Sample (example) script of sales by phone

And finally, here's the full phone sales script. Let's say we sell shampoo for dry hair to a cold customer base.

Greetings: Good afternoon
Performance: " My name is Anna, how can I contact you? I am a representative of the Volosatik company, we are engaged in the manufacture of natural hair care products. "Customer Name", we have a special offer for you."
Clarification of the circumstances:"Are you comfortable talking now?"
Clarifying questions:“Do you know the problem of dry and brittle hair?”, “Would you like to get rid of it?”.
Purpose of the call:“Great, we offer a natural shampoo for dry hair. The fact is that licorice, which is part of it, retains water, and the absence of sulfates allows you to preserve the structure of the hair. Did you know that 90% of shampoos in stores contain sulfates, which destroy the hair structure, slowing down growth and making them brittle? (No Yes). In the manufacture of our shampoo, we focused on the absence of harm to the hair. At the same time, the price of our shampoo corresponds to the average market price and is 500 rubles per 400 ml.”
Work with objections: examples of working with objections are given in the table above.
Goodbye: Thank you for taking the time to visit us, we look forward to seeing you in our store. Goodbye".

Video about phone sales scripts

The commercial activity of a transport company consists not only of registration, settlements with counterparties and the organization of its own fleet. It is important not only to maintain internal order and strengthen ties with regular customers, but also to attract new ones by conducting timely advertising campaigns, developing discount and bonus programs and sending commercial offers to potential partners. The latter makes it possible to notify about the services offered pointwise, referring to a specific legal entity, and not to the entire target audience.

For cargo transportation, it’s no more difficult than writing. The main thing is to imagine what blocks the text should consist of, and follow the recommendations below.

How to make a commercial offer for cargo transportation?

As well as, the offer for cargo transportation should be focused on target audience- this is the main recommendation, without which you can forget about the effectiveness of the marketing move. Sole proprietor or entity need to have their products moved by a third party; if transportation is carried out by the manufacturer or consumer, it actually makes no sense to send a commercial offer.

Important: no matter how profitable the proposal for the provision of transport services in itself may be, it is likely to be rejected if it is illiterate, contains gross errors, or does not fit the style of the format business letter. If the owner of the transport company or subordinates do not have the opportunity to write a high-quality commercial proposal, they should contact a specialist - a marketer or copywriter, and if possible, involve a graphic designer who will be able to develop a unique letter design.

Another important requirement for a commercial offer for cargo transportation is its brevity. A potential counterparty to whom a document is sent will not read several pages of small text containing all conceivable information about the services provided. Enough to interest the future business partner- the rest can be discussed by phone, e-mail or in person.

According to modern standards business correspondence The commercial offer for cargo transportation should fit:

on one sheet of A4 format, if it contains only text without images, tables and diagrams (the volume of the text is approximately 2-3 thousand characters without spaces);
on two sheets of the same format, if it includes Additional information- photos, specifications used Vehicle, graphics and more (the volume of the text is the same plus a few explanatory inscriptions).

Text commercial offer should be as brief as possible, but capacious, so that the recipient of the letter has the opportunity to get an idea of the entire range of services offered by the transport company. You should not dwell on general offers or self-praise: it is first of all important for the counterparty to know with whom he will work, and not what opinion about the company its head has.

Commercial offers for cargo transportation, like any other, can be of two types:

"Cold". They are sent to an unlimited number of recipients, and therefore are impersonal: the sender does not focus on the specifics of the recipient's business and, of course, does not address the latter by name, being content with a general greeting. Due to their versatility, they are not very effective and are used only for the initial selection of potential customers: subsequently, individual work will be carried out with each respondent.
"Hot". The addressee in this case is a specific person or organization, which means that the compiler of the document can use the entire arsenal of verbal influence on a possible counterparty - from a personal appeal to pointing out the special needs of his business and recognizing past commercial successes and merits. They are much more effective than “cold” ones and do not involve intermediate stages of cooperation: immediately after the recipient’s response, you can start negotiations.

Advice: it is better to prepare commercial offers for the provision of transport services of both types - both “cold” and “hot”. This will give the company the opportunity to find new customers without interrupting interaction with old ones. Below are examples of such proposals, modifying which, you can build a continuous cycle of communication with contractors.

A good commercial proposal should consist of the following blocks:

"A cap". May include the sender's logo, company pattern, full-page border or border, the full official name of the company, executed in such a way as to be a visual complement to the logo, and other significant graphic and textual elements.
header. The text in it should interest the addressee and encourage further reading, and therefore it is better to use not a dry name like “Commercial offer”, but the company’s corporate slogan or, if there is none, a slogan drawn up for the occasion.
Greetings. For cold emails, it can be the most general (" Dear Colleagues!) or absent altogether; for "hot" - sufficiently updated, with a mention of the name of the future counterparty, the name and patronymic of the head of the company or private entrepreneur and previous facts of cooperation ("We are glad to welcome you again!").
The essence of the proposal for the provision of transportation services. It should fit in one paragraph, and even better - in one phrase. Details will be given in the next block.
Main part of the offer. Here, without going beyond the specified framework, one should list the main conditions of transportation, the advantages of cooperation with the addressee, clarifying details (graphs, diagrams), optionally a small price list and positive examples of cooperation with well-known Russian and foreign companies, as well as reviews of the most influential counterparties.
Conclusion. If the commercial offer is "cold", it may just be a call to action ("Call and check!"); if "hot" - a few kind words addressed to the recipient and an assurance of the need for further cooperation.
Signature "With respect ..." or similar to it. In this block, you should give the name not of the originator of the document, but of the head of the transport company, as well as contact details, using which you can contact the addressee's representative.

Commercial offer for cargo transportation - sample

Today at global network can find set or shipping products. Below are five sample emails: four "cold" emails suitable for mass mailings, and one "hot" email targeted at a specific recipient.

Like , these texts can and should be modified, adjusting them to current situation: the more accurately the letter corresponds to it, the greater success among the recipients is guaranteed.

Summing up

Drawing up a commercial offer for cargo transportation is as much an integral part of the functioning of a transport company as it is. Offers are "hot", focused on a specific recipient, and "cold", intended for mass mailing and involving further "processing" of the client. The text should be well-written, concise and capacious enough to interest a potential client. For greater effect, it is recommended to include graphs, tables and charts in it.

A commercial offer for the provision of transport services consists of the following main blocks: header, title, greeting, essence of the offer, call to action and farewell. If the text of the letter is found on the Internet, it should be modified according to the needs of the sender and the potential client. You should not stop only at "hot" or "cold" offers: by sending out both types of letters, the transport company will be able to create a full cycle of work with contractors - from attracting to retaining them.

Why ready-made scripts, if there is a team of experienced managers?

Because sooner or later, newcomers may appear without experience and skill in dealing with objections. And the script can help out the manager if he is confused, lost his mind and the client is about to break loose, but there is no time for reflection and improvisation.

Script it finished script on which you can build a dialogue with the client and get the expected result. Needed if there are regular telephone sales and a desire to increase the effectiveness of calls.

What are the cons

The script can limit the manager and be the reason why sales fail when it is written incorrectly or there is a rigid set to follow only the written algorithm. Step left or right - execution. The script is an average universal solution, following which the probability of a positive outcome of the conversation is greater. But this is not a 100% guarantee. Having a script does not mean turning off the imagination and following only the learned algorithm.

Managers often make mistakes when calling customers

Poor presentation and lack of a clearly articulated proposal.

Transition to the price without voicing the benefits of the product for the needs of the client.

Weak arguments in favor.

The purpose of the conversation has not been reached. The manager answered the questions, and did not attempt to hook the client (offer to send a quotation, make an appointment).

If there is a ready-made template for calls, the probability of making a mistake is less.

Universal script for sales

The basic steps of any script are:

1. Establishing contact. Greeting + introduction

"Hello mMy name is Natalia, I am the manager of the company "N", we are engaged in repairs industrial equipment. How can I contact you?" (Semyon Semenovich). "Semyon Semenovich, is it convenient for you to talk to me for 3 minutes now?"

2. Identification of needs or problems. "Tell me, what equipment do you use in your work? How often do breakdowns happen? How long does it take to fix them?"

3. Product presentation with a focus on how he can help. " We offer... We give a guarantee... We fix it free of charge in case of a repeated breakdown... Our specialists will come and do it at a time convenient for you...".

4. Answers to questions. Work with objections

" With us you will get an additional advantage in the form of ... ".

5. Target action. Sending a quotation, making an appointment, arranging the next call.

6. End the conversation."Thank you. Have a nice day".

If everything is done correctly at the stage of identifying the problem, then the presentation of the product will not raise objections.

For b2b, the script will be about the same, but a preparatory step will be added

Collection of preliminary information. Search for an official responsible for purchasing or making a decision + his email. If you can’t find it via the Internet, you can, for example, find out through a call to the secretary: “Tell me how to spell the name of the manager correctly ...”, “We want to send a personalized invitation to the industry exhibition for the name, tell me which address is better?”.

Sending a commercial offer.

Call + bypass secretary.

An example of an incoming call to a real estate agency

If a customer calls, it is the job of the manager to demonstrate excellent knowledge of the product and its application. Questions can be very diverse and you need to be ready for them. If there is a script, it is easier to navigate.

A: AN "May", good afternoon. My name is Svetlana. How can I help?

TO: Hello. I am interested in buying apartments on Lenina, I found your ad on Avito. Is it still relevant?

A: How can you be contacted?

TO: Leonid

A: Nice to meet you. Leonid, can you clarify the number of the ad?

TO: 2#189324#67

A: Thank you. Apartments on Lenina, 14, 70 sq.m. On the 9th floor. It's like that?

TO: Yes.

A: The ad is current. Do you have questions or want to take a look right away?

TO: Yes, tell me, are meters installed there? Is there a telephone and internet? Is it possible to install an electric stove?

A: Yes, it's all there. There is already a gas stove, but you can install an electric one.

TO: I would like to see.

A: Great. When will it be convenient for you to drive up today within two hours or tomorrow afternoon?

TO: Better today?

A: Call me when you are there and I will meet you.

TO: Fine.

A: Thanks, see you.

Example of a cold calling template

What is the difference between these calls? The client knows nothing about the company or the product. The task of the manager is to briefly form an idea about the company, identify the pain of a potential buyer, tell how to solve it with the help of the product.

1. Greeting."Good afternoon".

2. Acquaintance. The name of the employee + the name of the company with a brief explanation of what he does. For example, "Our company is engaged in the supply of furniture fittings. We have a large assortment for any requests and reasonable prices." And find out the name of the client.

3. Establishing contact. Make sure that this is the person who will make the decision on cooperation. And to clarify whether he now has a few minutes to talk or is it better to call back at another time (what?). For example, "Are you using this product?" and further "Then, probably, you often have difficulties with ...". Questions to help uncover the client's pain.

5. Answers to questions. Arguments and more arguments. " Why does the customer need your product?

6. End the conversation."Thank you bye". According to the results of the call, the transition of the contact to the next stage.

Learn more about handling objections

Most often, these are such statements: “We don’t need it”, “Expensive / No money”, “We have been working with one supplier for a long time”, “We will call you back”, “Send a quotation”.

In the response template, you can pre-write several convincing options for arguments "for", which will facilitate the work of managers. For example:

- "I understand that now you are not up to me and you want to hang up the phone as soon as possible. Let's meet and in a relaxed atmosphere I will talk about our product, you can ask questions and decide if you need us or not."

- "I do not suggest you refuse your suppliers, I offer you a choice, the opportunity to compare whose conditions are better. You yourself will decide with whom it is more profitable to cooperate. Let's meet and perhaps our offer will interest you ...".

- "Yes, you are right, there is always not enough money, but let's calculate how much you will save / earn for the company if you accept our offer ...".

- "What needs to be done to cooperate with you?".

Things to keep in mind when making a cold call

1. The initiative should always remain with the manager. Use counter-questioning tactics. The client's task is to find out necessary information and hang up. The task of the manager is to set up a meeting, agree on the next step, and finally, sell. Questions help break through the client's defense and avoid objections.

3. Remember the purpose of the call(make appointment). If you tell all the information over the phone, the client will no longer be interested, he found out what he wanted. The task of the manager is to intrigue and lead the client to a meeting.

IMPORTANT! If you work in , you can customize

And managers will be able to make and receive calls, having before their eyes a ready-made script with answer options and examples of working with objections.

During a conversation, you can simultaneously fill in the data received from the contact on the card.

If the client is already recorded in the CRM database, his data will be automatically inserted into the text of the script when calling.

During the conversation, the manager can quickly navigate through the script branches.

Even in the industry, you can set up step-by-step scenarios for different situations: cold calls, receiving incoming calls from new customers, etc. This way, your managers will always have ready-made recommendations, which will increase the success of negotiations.

Remember

A good script is a cheat sheet, not a rigid set of rules. It helps the manager:

Quickly navigate and choose best option response to steer the conversation in the right direction.

Bypass acute moments, do not hang if the question is stumped.

Psychologists say that a person remembers only 20% of what he hears, so every word counts when calling customers! In order not to lose face, sales scripts are used. These are scenarios of behavior for a manager, which describes step by step what and in what situation he should say. Let's analyze what should be in an effective sales script and consider several ready-made templates.

Scripts exist for all occasions, or rather, for each type of work with a buyer, but today we will analyze the most popular one - a script for cold sales by phone.

Parsing scripts piece by piece

Sales scripts have existed for more than a dozen years, and if you do not want to use the poke method, then you can arm yourself with the most effective algorithm that has been polished over the years. Let your script not get an Oscar, but it will attract customers.

Let's start with b2c sales, that is, with calling individuals. Sales scripts for sales managers will be built according to the following scenario:

Stage	Description
Greetings	Introductory phrase.
	The manager gives his name and company, and then clarifies whether it is convenient for the interlocutor to talk.
Problem identification	The manager starts talking about the problems that the product / service he offers can solve, trying to get the client to admit that these problems exist.
Purpose of the call	The manager offers his product or service to the client.
Answer to objection	If at the previous stage the client refused, then you need to identify the reason for the refusal and try to convince the interlocutor.
Parting	The manager discusses the next step of interaction with the client: a new call, a meeting, and so on. If the negotiations were unsuccessful, he simply says goodbye to the interlocutor, thanking him for his time.

The structure of the script for the b2b sector when there is a ringing of organizations, almost the same. The difference is that before starting a conversation, you need to “go out” to the decision maker. The secretary will most likely pick up the phone, and you need to bypass him, proving that cooperation is more beneficial for the client than for you. And only when you are connected with the head of the department or the main boss, you need to start working on the above script.

Some companies deceive the secretary by pretending to call about a job and only after contacting the right person show the cards. Whether or not you do so is up to you, but we recommend keeping the company's reputation as "clean" as possible. You will still need it.

By the way, according to b2b research company Sirius Decisions, the average manager gives up trying to contact the person in charge on the second attempt. At the same time, from 7 to 13 contacts may be required for successful lead generation in the b2b sphere. Be persistent!

The 7 Best Ways to Make a Client Hate You

Above, we described the standard course of a sales call. This is the basis on which you can “put on” your chips: use the main pains of the client, list competitive advantages their product, competently, and so on. Only by testing different versions of scripts, you will gradually formulate the most effective algorithm that will show the best effect for your company.

Thus, There is no single recipe for how to talk to a client, it's easier to say how NOT to do it.

So, you want to piss off the client and not sell him anything? Take advantage of our bad advice:

Have a conversation in the form of a monologue. Are you calling to get a client's opinion? It's too much. But he should learn in all details about your proposal. Do not let him insert a word, otherwise you never know, he will refuse more.
Chatter. Faster! Time is limited! You definitely need to cram as much information as possible into a few minutes! And better in one! Learn to speak quickly and shoot the client with machine-gun shots of words.
Show who's boss here. Business is a wild jungle. This is where you need to dominate. Show the client that you are in charge here. Give, insist. Don't be a yielding weakling.
Improvise. Why prepare? Every situation is different. Just call and hope for the best.
Damn tact. Each polite word robs you of precious seconds persuading the client.
Speak without emotion. God forbid you show the client that you are positive. He may think that you are doing better than him, and therefore refuse your services on principle.
Tell us more about the company. Go beyond product stories. The client needs to know as much as possible about where you work, what kind of connections you have, partners and where your supervisor was vacationing this summer.
