Guest Post: Why Your Missed Calls Could Be Missed Sales

, , No Comments
And so we have the first guest post, by a sales coach. His bio is really long and loaded I don't know how to cut it down to a few paragraphs, so I'll just repost as sent. The article itself is not very long but still impactful. It has forced me to rethink my attitude towards phone calls and missed calls. I hope to see some good results as I imbibe the lessons he shared.

Please check your phone and find out how many missed calls you had today, especially the calls you haven't returned.

Those missed calls could be missed sales.

I worked with a boss several years ago who punished us greatly when we missed our calls. We had a very steep target that year and he said we had to be very alert to block any loopholes from us missing opportunities to make money. He taught us that our phones were called 'Mobile phones' not 'Landline phones' so we were to take them with us everywhere including the bathroom😲.

There's some truth in this though because over the years I've seen him grow rapidly in his career attributing it to his attitude towards his phone calls.

I've seen salespeople who don't pick their calls or return missed calls yet they complain about the economy as a result of poor sales. Some, always have their numbers going to voicemail, that's a travesty. So how in the world will clients contact you for more deals or give you referrals.

We live in a fast paced world today. If you brand yourself for not picking calls or not returning missed calls, you would not be considered for opportunities. Therefore, you'll be missing too many opportunities and it will cost you a lot. Who knows, maybe what you thought the conversation would be about would be something else entirely that could move your sales to a whole new level.
