This book helps sales people to identify what makes cold calling such a challenge and how to overcome the fears of making such calls. It shares the author's experience in receiving, making and coaching people through those first stages in the sales process. With real life stories and humour, the book explores natural human reactions to help the reader understand why people react to cold calls in the way that they do and how the cold callers' behaviour gives rise to any barriers they may be faced with. The reader is motivated to analyse their own behaviour and identify how they can achieve greater results in telephone lead generation.Its unique style and structure takes readers on a journey through the cold calling process using doors and locks as metaphors to the process. The doors represent the overt challenge presented at that stage in the sale and the lock is the psychological fear that the cold callers have but can sometimes be oblivious to. It is this fear that has to be identified and overcome before the challenge at the door can even be reached. There are three doors and three locks, each one representing a stage in the process of cold calling and along the way, the reader is given thought provoking self-analysing questions and tips on how to be great!Shea Heer lives in Gloucester and has over twenty years of direct sales and sales training experience.

Most salespeople lose the deal before they ever get started! It isn't uncommon for the customer to have already made a decision before most salespeople even learn of the opportunity. Most salespeople have to beat the preferred competitor by a significant margin just to be considered equivalent. Don't you wish that you could be the preferred vendor in all of your opportunities? Selling is a difficult career in which to make a living; it is not uncommon to have the commission check denied before the salesperson even gets a chance to win. Analysis of thousands of sales situations has made it phenomenally obvious that most salespeople begin their sales campaign so late in the decision-making process that they are virtually guaranteed to lose the order. To make matters worse, when they do start the campaign early enough, most salespeople do not know how to control the prospect adequately so that they can guarantee their victory. Typical turnover for a sales department is 10-20%. Many companies see turnover that approaches 40-60%! This turnover costs them 50% of their revenue-generating capability. In any organization that exceeds 25% turnover, the loss of trust with the customer can be astounding as the new salesperson tries to rebuild the entire relationship. In any given quarter dozens or hundreds of companies do not make their forecasted numbers and are dramatically punished by Wall Street. This book will provide the management of a company with a framework to teach their salespeople how to attain their quotas with higher profits. It will also allow salespeople to rise to the top of their organization and be the super-achievers who win awards, trips, bonuses, and respect. In this book, I will show you how to eliminate your competition and maximize your commission.

Cold calling sucks! Those three words landed my job at the Seattle Fortune 1000 company. Within minutes on my first interview the sales manager asked me, "What do you think about cold calling?" Waiting for him to wipe the surprised look off his face I added, "But I'm one of the best you'll ever see doing it." I went on to set company records by becoming their #1 salesman in the nation for three years. Does cold calling work? Yes. Do you have to like doing it? No. You could sell to anyone - if you could just get in front of them first. Here are just three of the many techniques you will learn for how to get in front of them. - Create the courage to call by being a coward - semper fi. - Make 3,800 cold calls this year spending 6 minutes per day. - Make your voicemail jail break. As over 150,000 people who have attended my seminars will tell you, I don't teach theory. I teach simple things that produce good results. "Jerry Hocutt is the Zen master of cold calls." - Los Angeles Times
