This Research Will Help You Make A Successful Phone Introduction
George Clay
What if I told you that when you introduce yourself on the phone to someone you are calling for the first time what callers hear on the other end has relatively little to do with what you are saying?
Research in human communication bears this out.
The video on this page explains the research in a way I think you will find both helpful and interesting when it comes to making your phone prospecting more successful.
- Words are important.
- But on the phone your ability to bond with someone — usually a complete stranger if you’re cold calling — will have more to do with your tone of voice than anything else.
How do you think a prospect feels if they speak carefully and slowly…and you speak as if you’re spraying them with a fire hydrant?
Pace and tone are important to help you build rapport — so it’s important you listen carefully and try to match the pace!
