1. Everyone wants to make more money. This is of course a no brainer. For some people, they need more money to buy their dream house, put up a good business or go to some luxurious place for a vacation. You would think that people will want to find the fastest way to make more money. Not really. Your customer probably has very specific plans and getting more money right now is just a means to an end. Help him achieve his dream and prosper in the process.

This will work best if the customers you are dealing with already has the money but just do not have the luxury to enjoy the money they earn.

But, how can leaving thousands of messages on home answering machines be made possible? Simple! You don’t need to hire an army of telemarketers nor sub-contract a call center to help you reach thousands of prospects and customers thus saving you both long set up periods and significant costs!

Voice broadcasting is all that it takes to break through the attention catastrophe. It is a new media which can quickly and cost-effectively carry out the task with the bandwidth giving the marketers a virtually unlimited call capability. Matter of fact, several clients are dialing millions of calls per day and leaving messages on home answering machine which sounded like a representative from your company personally called.

Needless to say, this creates great opportunities for marketers that have never existed before. This media can be used to pre-call direct mail, cross-sell, cut down the cost of customer acquisition, and even boost the customer experience. The quality of the message left is so good you can hardly tell the difference between a real human voice and the improved digital message of voice message broadcasting generally referred to as auto-dialing.
Voice broadcasting a message delivers a higher response rate compared to a direct mail with the speed and low-cost advantage of an e-mail, with added warmth of a personal call. Now marketers have the capability to communicate with their customers or prospects in the last uncluttered place - the home answering machine – for the cost of a phone call!

Inevitably true, your customers are swamped with over 3,000 different sorts of advertisements – newspapers, TV, radio, billboards on the streets, and even those annoying cold calls interrupting dinners. With this dilemma, savvy marketers have been experimenting on how to come up with a more innovative and definitely more efficient way to break through the cluttered market and capture their customers’ attention.

Seth Godin who authored “Permission Marketing” explicitly said that permission marketing approaches like spam and marketing messages muddling your email inbox, bills and junk mails occupying much of your mailbox, 8 sixty-second messages eating up every hour you spend on the TV, 20 minutes of various ads every hour over the radio, billboards of all sizes you can see on the streets every few miles, and those cold calls interrupting during dinners have been last year’s buzzword.

Anyhow, adept marketers are getting more concerned on how to cut through the clutter so as to get increased responses and improved loyalty to their brand. Voice broadcasting was then came to shape as it seemed to be the best way to communicate with the customers in a virtually untapped place – the home answering machine! Indeed, home answering machine is the only remaining uncluttered place to communicate with your prospects and customers. You don’t hear many messages from companies and other advertising sectors when you come home and check your answering machine. Most of the messages, if not all, are from family and friends, and generally you’ll have a pen and paper handy for some information you might need to note down. Not to mention, well over 50% of answering machines are situated next to the home computer so you could just imagine how powerful it could be to break the communication barrier between you and your prospects or customers.

Do these voice broadcasting companies allow you to be a reseller if you want ?

There are existing voice broadcasting companies that allow interested customers to become resellers of their service. Many offer professionally-designed sites you can purchase to start promoting your business. These websites will probably have the same functional features as the original except that the company logo and name will be changed. Make sure you are very much familiar with how the system works when you want to be a reseller and that the information you give out to your customers are in line with the company guidelines. Talk with those who are already reselling the service and collect all the information you can to help you make an informed decision.

How much money do you want to invest?

Even as a reseller for another company you are a business owner. You will be solely responsible for the success or failure of your reseller account. You must set a budget for your business and its needs from the beginning. This will allow you to have a target and to focus your energy on expanding your new business. Success will come easier for you if you are realistic about your expectations and spends more time learning about this service. You should only invest the amount of money you are willing to lose. With every business there is a chance of failure, regardless of the reason.

Don’t kid yourself… voice broadcasting will require hard work and determination. You will not be able to simply become a reseller of one company or another and expect that the services will sell themselves. After all, if they sold themselves, what would they need you for?

We sell a need and we sell a product or service that people do need. But sometimes getting someone to understand that what we are offering is the best product out there is challenging.

So how do we break through the negative image of sales of someone that only sees just another salesperson? Do you tend to put up your defenses and get angry and down? How about hanging your head in failure? Is that you?

Understand that timing is everything. A no now may not be a no tomorrow. Keep the the people that say no on your system. Ask if you can follow up in 3 months or so, just in case. If they say yes, then you had better be there, or be calling or whatever method you get in touch with them on the exact day 3 months from now.

Send a thank you card or any token to them for their valuable time and include your business card. They may put in in the trash, but then again, they may just keep it, just in case. I know I would.

Ask for a referral from them if they say no. If they are not fascinated in hearing about your product or offer, then just maybe, they may know someone who is. If you don’t strike, they will not volunteer that piece of information.

Be professional at all times and on your best behavior. Being abrupt or defeated will not help you in anyway and will just fortify their belief in salespeople in general.

Will the negative impression just abate with these few tips? I think not, but I intend to help you realize the value of being in the sales force and improve the way we look at it…

I have been a salesperson more than half my life and many times I get a cold shoulder when people think I am going to sell something to them. There have also been a lot of people I met that do not want to work in an industry that sells anything.

So how did this negative image come about? Was it years of bad newspaper salesman that killed us? Was it old telemarketing days that left a bad taste in peoples mouths? Or what about the cranky saleslady at the department store?We cannot really trace back where the negative impression began as it may be different for you as it is for the next guy. But what I do know, is that sales doesn’t have to have a negative image at all.I could talk forever about what sales really is and go from there. But what I know is that when someone is really passionate at sales or selling something, it is not the product that they are selling, they are selling three things.

I would dare to say that most people trust one another. Sales professionals count on trust. I know in the business world one cannot sell any product or service if his clients did not trust him.

A lot of people have a Fear of Selling. It has become a huge challenge and obstacle for them from day to day. If you are guilty of this then you may want to assess the cause. The first thing you need to do is find out exactly what it is you’re afraid of. Are you afraid of success? Believe it or not there this is an actual fear of some folks. Are you afraid of failure or rejection? Do you fear being perceived as being pushy? Do you fear that your product may not meet the expectations of your customer? You can’t come up with a solution if you don’t know what the problem is. Ackonowledging that there is a problem and knowing what is is teh major step in resolving this fear.

There’s a huge misconception in selling through voice braodcasting being that you think you’re imposing on customers. As long as you feel as though you’re imposing…you are. You need to love your product and feel as though you are offering a service. You’re filling a need. Unless you feel and think that your product is teh best one there is you cannot convince or convey this to your customers.

People are natural-born sellers. We just don’t realize it when we’re not making money from it. Let’s say you go to a movie that you loved and you have a friend that you know would enjoy it too. Wouldn’t you recommend it to him/her? Or you have eated in a restaurant that you thought was splendid in their service and the food they prepare. Wouldn’t you just recommend this to all your friends or anyone that is within your circle?

So why is it that as soon as we go into sales we automatically feel as though we can’t recommend the products we sell. Why is it that we tend to feel guilty because we’re going to make a profit off of it?

If you are one that has a fear of selling, take some time today to figure out the cause of your fear, and take action to fix it!

How do you ensure that you are working off a ‘clean list’? In other words, that you have accurate data and that you are not constantly being told that “Mr Smith no longer works here’.
