Break the Email Delete Barrier
In three seconds your prospects make a choice between reading and trashing your email. Clearly your objective is to get them not only to read it, but to respond so you can set an appointment and begin the sales process. That means you need to find a way to get past their delete barrier.

Are You Selling to Customers or Clients Know the Difference to Succeed as a Consultative Seller
How do you refer to the people you represent? Are they "clients" or "customers"? Or, perhaps you struggle with what you call them, and bounce back and forth from one term to the other, depending on what comes to mind first.

How to Prospect With a Catalog of Products
Last week an interesting question was posed to me: how does a seller go about cold calling, prospecting, and lead generation when they have a wide range of products to sell? How do you know what to tell prospects about when you have hundreds or more items available? This wasn't an abstract inquiry. The newsletter subscriber in question had recently moved from selling high tech to promotional items. Before, she'd had only a few solutions to work with; now, there were literally thousands. Her situation isn't as unusual as you might think.

Why Holidays Make a Great Occasion to Email Your Prospects
Smart sellers can use holidays as an occasion to reach out to their prospects via email… especially contacts that have been hard to reach in the past. They give you an easy reason to reach out in a personalized, non-sales approach to reach those elusive prospects on your list.

Sales Prospecting
Sales prospecting is very often a salesman's least favorite part of his work as a salesman. I have found this to be the case about the same number of times I have found that the salesman hasn't had sufficient training in how to prospect effectively, and so hasn't been having a lot of prospecting successes. To the degree that the salesman doesn't know how to go about prospecting, and ends up with losses instead of successes, sales prospecting can be a mighty discouraging activity. I have conversely discovered that the more one's ability and successful experiences in sales prospecting grow, the more enjoyable an activity it becomes, and the more willing a salesman is to do it.

Prospecting it is simple only DOING counts
Prospecting may be the most important step in the selling process since it allows all the others. Without Prospecting we can't use our selling skils, order entry skills, or service skills, since we won't have anyone for whom to demonstrate them. However, most sales professionals have weak Prospecting skills. They simply need a Prospecting System. Once they have one, they are set for life.

Don't just sit there, phone someone!
Many sales people dislike prospecting. For some that is face to face prospecting and for others it is prospecting on the telephone. I've identified the factors that make the difference between a successful prospector and a sales person who hate prospecting. Prospecting is a skill. Once you develop these skills, prospecting is easy.
Is Email Hiding Your Personality?
Email is so much easier to use for prospecting than the phone. You can write it at any time day or night. You don't have to worry about being hung up on and you won't catch your client "at a bad time." But it's also easily deleted with no response. When you put yourself into your email, your chances of getting prospects to respond escalate. You stand apart from the other sellers who blend together as Inbox clutter.

What Not to Do on a Cold Call Email
Sometimes it is truly impossible to reach a prospect by telephone - and for some prospects email is their preferred form of communication. While nothing beats the direct interaction of a live phone call, sometimes instead of a cold call you simply have to send a cold prospecting email. If you do so, however, be careful. Don’t let this happen to you…

Practical Tips for Making Prospecting a “Win-Win” Proposition
Of all the competencies associated with superior sales skill, prospecting is the weakest link. Most salespeople despise prospecting. "I'm too busy," "I don't have any prospects," "I've tried and that doesn't work" are just a few of the excuses you hear or may have said yourself. Yet effective prospecting is a vital part of successful campaigns to gain new business. Becoming a master prospector can spell the difference between being a merely competent salesperson and a stellar one. So what holds us back and how can we succeed more often? The reality is most salespeople fear prospecting because they are set up for failure.
Create Email Subject Lines That Draw Prospects In
Email is now the preferred prospecting tool, far surpassing the phone to the relief of many sellers who hate cold calling. Yet it hasn’t necessarily made prospecting any easier. Response rates are low and many sellers are discouraged by how difficult it is to engage contacts.
Sales Prospecting for Sales Results
Are you, as a sales or business professional, getting the results you are looking for from you sales prospecting strategies and techniques? Do you have a sales prospecting strategy in place? Do you follow a sales prospecting system or sales prospecting process? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you are probably considered a successful sales professional. If not, then allow me to share some sales strategies on sales prospecting with you from the internationally proven ABC, 123 Sales Results System, a non-traditional sales process.

How writing sales prospecting emails and negotiation emails is different
Have you noticed that suddenly you’re negotiating with your customers and prospects through email? They don’t have time for face-to-face or phone meetings. Instead, they’d just like “a few quick questions” answered through email so they can make a decision. As this occurs, it’s critical that sales reps adjust their easy-going sales prospecting email approach to a more formal and professional business writing style to successfully negotiate in this new manner.

How to Put More Prospects in a Buying Mood
A reader shared with me recently that her email prospecting campaign was attracting attention and responses, but most of her prospects weren’t interested in buying right now. So it’s her job to create immediate interest.
