STop piTc HIng ThE

gaTeKeEPER

By Mike Brooks

Let me say this again: for the most part, receptionists, gatekeepers, etc., are not there to screen you out. They are there to capture basic information and then pass the call through. Notice I said, “for the most part.” There are certainly exceptions (in small offices, etc.) where they make it their job to screen you out, but you can still get past many of them as well if you use the best practice approach below.

Here is the script I was using as recently as last week to get through to some high powered decision makers. It works: Gatekeeper: “XYZ company, how can I help you?”

I

YOU: “Hi, may I speak with {first name}, please?” (Say this with a bright, warm smile in your voice. Be confident and friendly.

Gatekeeper: “And what is your name please?” was talking with a client last week about some of his new employees. He told me that some of them are struggling to get through to decision makers, and he thought it was because they were “pitching the gatekeeper.” I listened to some of his calls, and he was right!

Here is the mistake: Many sales reps have never been taught the proper way to deal with gatekeepers, so after being screened out by them, they take the attitude that “If only they (the gatekeeper) knew how much this would benefit the (decision maker), then they’d put me through!” So they start pitching them...

Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/expert/Mike_Brooks/49855

How wrong that is...

Let’s recap the role of the receptionist/gatekeeper: The receptionist’s job is to answer calls and route them to the right person. They are trained to gather the information needed to give to the person they are transferring the call to, things like, name, company name, and sometimes, what the call is about.

Now here is something many sales reps misunderstand: The receptionist’s role is not to pry and grill and interrogate people who call in.

They will only do this if the caller telegraphs him/herself as a salesperson. And many frustrated reps signal this by: 1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

8

Only giving your first name and trying to trick the receptionist by pretending to be a “friend” of the person you’re trying to reach.

Not giving your company name. (May reps try to hide the fact they are calling from a company. This only arouses suspicion and raises a Red Flag.)

Not having a scripted approach to the question: “Will he/she know what this call is about?”

Not being polite and using the magic words: “Please” and “Thank You” Not using an instructional statement.

MARCH 2, 2018

YOU: “Please, tell him that {Your first & last name} is calling, please.”

Gatekeeper: “And may I tell him the company you are calling from?”

YOU: “Yes, please! Please tell him {Your first & last name again} with the {Your company name} is holding please.”

Again, smile, be friendly and confident. If you follow this exact script, you’ll get through 60% of the time without any further screening.

If they ask: “And what is this call regarding?”

YOU respond: “Please tell him/her it’s about {whatever your call is about - ‘His/her lead flow’}, and I’m happy to hold, please... “ Did you notice the “pleases”? How about the instructional statements? Did you notice the exact order?

These techniques will get you past the gatekeeper - without any further screening - over 75% of the time. Don’t believe me? Try it for a week (not just one or two calls!).

What doesn’t work is pitching the gatekeeper. That only identifies you as a sales person, and in many cases you start begging them to put you through. And that’s the last person they will put through - a begging sales person.

So, make a commitment to yourself this week and begin using this proven technique. You’ll be surprised by how many decision makers you begin getting through to.

HEALTHCARE

COMMUNITY SERVICE

ADVANTAGE Q: Sometimes I think that we’ve been conditioned to believe that going to college is the only way to be successful in life and have a good paying job. College just isn’t for everyone. Lester Holt of NBC Nightly News said that marriage wasn’t for everyone so I can safely assume that college also isn’t for everyone! I know many, many people who have gone to Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Yale, Columbia, UCLA, USC, Loyola, Marymount, etc., and spent years to get the most high degrees out there, but in the end, after they graduated, most told me “this is not what I expected: All those years of my life, money, and effort for nothing!” Many people have a preconceived idea that after they get a university degree, everything else will be a walk in the park. A degree doesn’t mean anything if the graduate isn’t willing to build experience and put in hard work at a job regardless of the university they attended.

My dad told me that a degree is just the guarantee, but the person who obtained the degree still has to prove themselves even after obtaining that degree! They have to have the creativity to put into practice what they learned in the classroom. I also know many people who feel college isn’t for them because the idea of working and having to go to school is overwhelming! I’m almost certain that even people at Ivy League campuses on scholarships have to work and study! A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN’T TAKE THE HEAT IN THE KITCHEN, DIANA! I can’t think of too many people who will simply study and not have to work at McDonalds at the same time! It’s almost as though college is meant more for academically inclined people and people who will not mind doing customer service like doctors and lawyers. What do you think?

HEALTHCARE

A: Of course college is meant for the academically inclined, and it’s not for everyone. If you feel that you made a good decision for yourself in not going to college, quit beating a dead horse.

You made a personal decision, and you shouldn’t regret it. (I am still wondering what Lester Holt’s comments about marriage have to do with college; it seems like a horse of a different color.)

You are certainly living in more rarified situations than I am if you know “many, many” people with degrees from Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Yale, Columbia, UCLA, etc. That’s unusual. One would have to be naive to believe that everyone with a degree regrets the time that it took and is surprised by their duties in the real world. I know many, many engineers from TAMU, UH, TSU and UT who love their work and continue learning. Not one of them worked at McDonald’s to pay for school. Be proud of your life choices and don’t denigrate other people because they made a different choice. Why don’t we put this question out to pasture and just say that everyone chooses their own path?

Q: I’ve read that you should dress for the job you want – not for the

job you have. I am just getting back to interviewing after working for the same company for 8 years. I haven’t gotten a promotion in three years, and I want to fi nd the job that will give me a different title, and higher pay. Should I wear a suit to my interview or dress in a polo shirt and pants? I will be interviewing at technical companies that are mostly business casual.

- Houston, Texas Reader

A: Wear a suit. You don’t have the job yet.

Rose had a long career as a Respiratory Therapist. A few years shy of retirement, Rose did not anticipate being laid off. While browsing through JobSparx, Rose came across The WorkFaith Connection advertisement and was intrigued. Rose completed Boot Camp and was blown away with the tools she learned and the HOPE she gained to take the next steps.

Rose’s hard work and determination paid off when she went to WORK as a Respiratory Therapist soon after completing Boot Camp. Rose is grateful to God that she picked up a JobSparx magazine.

T A H W

During the day, Michael Simpson works as a telemarketer, selling products to businesses by phone. At night, he earns a second paycheck playing violin. His two callings form a curious counterpoint.

own performance. It’s not easy for telemarketers to win over an audience and make a sale. Simpson’s business customers have work to do, deals to make, and deadlines to meet. These busy people often see Simpson as a distraction from work, so he must fine tune his pitch to the needs of each individual.

By day, he works at the Martin Call Center, a teleservices firm in Richmond, Virginia. He sells subscriptions to a major business publication. “I prefer music,” he says, “but I’ve been successful in sales. I know I can sell.”

“If they say they’re not interested,” says Simpson, “I try to figure out why, so I can present the product in a way that shows how it would meet individual needs.” Potential customers often object, saying they don’t have time—either to talk to a telemarketer or to read the publication even if they were to receive it. Simpson must answer their objections. He explains how the product provides important information that will increase their effectiveness, saving them time in the long run.

Simpson performs at a workstation in a semicircular cubicle, or pod, along with three to five telemarketing colleagues. He orchestrates sales using a computer, a phone line, an auto-mated dialling system, and an electronic list of prospective customers and phone numbers. His prospects include office managers, small business owners, and other financially savvy people.

But more often than not, even a virtuoso sales performance leads to no sale. Some potential customers react rudely to Simpson’s persistence by making nasty comments and hanging up. Simpson must maintain his composure and move on. “You can’t let a string of no sales or hangups bother you,” Simpson says. “You just focus on the next call being successful.”

Whether he’s performing in a telemarketing pod or an orchestra pit, Simpson strives to captivate an audience. When someone answers his call, Simpson has only seconds to make his official overture.

He introduces himself and explains the purpose of his call in a professional, upbeat tone. Reading from an approved sales script, he begins to establish a rapport with his audience of one.

Simpson’s sales manager supervises the efforts of telemarketers on the sales floor and helps keep morale high. When telemarketers make a sale, they summon the sales manager, who gets on the line to confirm necessary details. The manager announces the sale after completing the call, and the other telemarketers applaud—or offer a congratulatory wave if they are on the line with another customer.

“I thought this would be distracting when I first started the job, but actually, it’s not,” Simpson says. “It gives everyone a boost.”

“There are questions you can ask to generate and keep interest,” Simpson says. “I might ask if they’ve ever read or heard of the publication to get them involved in a conversation.” Often, his audience has read the publication, so Simpson will segue with a query about the value they found in it.

Although Simpson must memorize a musical score for some of his violin recitals, he does not need to take such careful note of his sales script. He often improvises, choosing variations to suit the audience. “I try to customize my presentation so people feel like I’m just talking to them instead of reading from a script,” he says.

As Simpson speaks, voices of other telemarketers accompany MARCH 2, 2018 46 indistinctly him in the background. But he must focus on his

Telemarketing offers many opportunities for part-time and temporary work, as well as full-time employment. Simpson began working at the call center in February 1998 to supplement his music earnings. He officially works for a temporary help firm that supplies telemarketing workers as needed for the center. In the future, he plans to telemarket for 30 to 35 hours per week during the summer months—slow season for his musical career—and decrease his hours when his musical pursuits pick up in the fall.

Many companies hire telemarketers for in-house call centers. These workers sell the services or products produced by their employers.

centers, which sell on behalf of other companies for a fee.

In 1996, almost 304,000 Americans worked in telemarketing or related jobs, according to data from a BLS survey. But the survey represents only a portion of all telemarketers because it narrowly defines the occupation. Many more workers in other sales occupations sell by phone.

The survey showed a median wage of $7.77 per hour for workers in the telemarketing category in 1996. This hourly wage includes commissions and incentives based on sales, a major part of earnings for many telemarketers.

Whereas playing a violin concerto takes years of prior practice, telemarketers usually need only a few days of on-the-job training before making their first live telephone sales performance. The length of training for telemarketers depends on the number and type of products being sold.

Like all new workers at the Martin Call Center, Simpson had 3 days of training. He learned about phone sales techniques, telemarketing laws and guidelines, and the product he would be selling. He also listened in on live calls initiated by experienced telemarketers. Then he made practice calls, with another worker playing the role of the customer.

Simpson has had more formal education and training than the average telemarketer. Many firms prefer, but do not require, a high school diploma for telemarketing work. Some employers may find college education desirable, but most do not require a college degree; it often depends on the products sold. Simpson has a bachelor’s degree in music education and completed advanced sales training before working at the call center.

Simpson also had years of previous sales and musical experience. He taught music in public and private schools for 13 years. While working for an adult education school, he moved into sales and marketing when he started promoting the school to new students.

He spent 3 years in his next job, selling memberships for the local chamber of commerce. A couple of years ago, he opened his own music studio, where he offers private instruction in violin. He has played violin with the Richmond Classical Players and the Lynchburg and Richmond Symphonies.

After selling subscriptions all day, Simpson pulls off his telephone headset and reaches for his violin case—letting go of one performance and turning his thoughts to another.VOL. 23 ISSUE 1130

A Career in Crisis -

Beating Burnout Author Michael M. DeSafey The Grind. We all know it. We all live it. Day after day, week after week, you go to work, prepared to battle in the trenches for your firm. Day after day, week after week. Client demands are mounting; you start viewing them as the enemy.

It’s no wonder you’re on the verge of burn-out. It’s getting harder and harder to answer the bell on Mondays, and it’s downhill from there.

Commuting and traffic and meetings and phone calls and technology and deadlines and... ... you’re not at your best at home. Your family is getting the office leftovers. Most of your time after work is a whirlwind of homework, dinner, getting the kids down. Then finally, finally, a few minutes of down-time before bed. Then the alarm goes off and it starts all over again.

Yeah, burnout is right around the corner. It’s one of the most insidious career-killers in the A/E/C industry. Weekends aren’t nearly long enough to recharge your battery. How can you get off the hamster wheel; to put on the brakes before you hit that wall? Here’s how to fix your career crisis and beat the burnout:

Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/expert/Michael_M_DeSafey/1832732

Be alone.

It’s that simple. Make some time, every day, to be by yourself.

Leave your office and turn off your cell. Go outside if possible. Close your eyes and listen to music. Read a devotion or a chapter in the book that’s been collecting dust on your nightstand. Take a walk.

Fifteen minutes, every day, will save your sanity. These are 10 things that happen when you spend time alone:

6.

You have more patience. Positive people tend to extend more grace to others. Clients become friends again.

7.

Your priorities become more defined. It’s easier to see the forest when you aren’t focusing on each tree bearing down on you.

1.

It’s quiet. Don’t underestimate this. It’s therapeutic for your tired, overstimulated brain.

8.

You are a better spouse/partner/friend. All of that positivity and good feelings bring sunshine to those you love!

2.

Your mind learns to rest. This isn’t automatic. You have to work at it but, eventually, your mind will learn to rest.

9.

You become a better leader. A clear head and more patience will result in better decisions and a more cohesive team.

3.

You learn to relax. Again, this isn’t automatic. With time, your breathing and heart rate slow. Your shoulders drop. Tension leaves your neck.

10. Your life is better. Promise.

4.

You think more clearly. Once your mind learns to rest, it’s easier to organize thoughts, free of the clutter and noise.

5.

You become a more positive person. As the stress and negativity start sliding away it becomes more natural to feel better about the world around you.

MARCHand 2, 2018 50yourself

Spending time alone, every day, will reboot your life and heal your career crisis. It won’t get rid of traffic or extend deadlines, but you’ll be able to handle them in a more positive manner.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER

DON’T LET IT HANG AROUND!

Dear Dave,

Dear Dave,

I have a credit card that I haven’t made a payment on in almost two years.

The debt has been sold a couple of times, and now a collector is saying I owe $1,200. The original amount was $500. I’d like to work something out, but I can’t afford $1,200. What should I do?

I have $100,000 in student loan debt. Since the amount is so large, is there a special place in your Baby Steps plan for it?

Luanne

Dear Julie,

Dear Luanne,

The fact that it’s a large amount of student loan debt doesn’t change anything.

Baby Step 2 is where you pay off all debt except for your home.

They’re asking for $1,200 because they’ve added things like interest and late fees. They want to make as much money as possible on an old debt they bought for pennies on the dollar.

If you can afford $500 right now, ask if they’ll accept a one-time payment to settle the account. Get it in writing if they accept the offer, and don’t give them a penny until after you get a copy of the written agreement. Once you have the agreement in hand, send them a money order or cashier’s check for $500. Do not, under any circumstances, give them electronic access to your bank accounts.

You waited too long to take of your obligation, Luanne. That made things more difficult and more stressful than necessary. I’m glad you decided to do the right thing, and clean up your mess, though. Better late than never!

Julie

I hope you have a nice, large income with which to fight that big, nasty pile of student loan debt. Believe it or not, I’ve seen even worse situations. I’ve talked to people who went $200,000 into debt for a four-year degree in a field where they’ll make $50,000. That kind of thinking and behavior is ridiculous, but it’s out there.

Whatever you do, don’t let this student loan debt hang around for years and years. You’ve got to get focused and intense about getting control of your money. That means living on a strict, basics-only monthly budget. After that, start throwing every nickel and dime you can scrape together and save toward those student loans as fast as possible.

Your income is your largest wealth-building tool, Julie. You can’t save, and plan for the future, when all your money is flying out the door to pay back debt!
