The three most common criticisms these organizations default to are:<\/h4>\n<h4>1.)\u00a0Our people don&#8217;t prospect enough; not enough cold calls.<\/h4>\n<h4>2.) They don&#8217;t know how to handle objections.<\/h4>\n<h4>3.) They don&#8217;t know how to close.<\/h4>\n<h4>Of course, they do need to do more prospecting, learn to handle objections and increase the number of &#8220;asks&#8221; to increase their sales.<\/h4>\n<h4>The two most common solutions these organizations pursue to achieve these objectives are:<\/h4>\n<h4>1.)\u00a0More training for the salespeople<\/h4>\n<h4>2.) New\u00a0sales compensation plans<\/h4>\n<h4>Seldom do these failing organizations take responsibility and take a close look\u00a0at themselves.<\/h4>\n<h4>In addition to the two basic solutions prescribed here, the most successful organizations we see, ask themselves these important questions;<\/h4>\n<h4>1.) What are we doing to warm up those cold calls for our account executives?<\/h4>\n<h4>2.) What can our organization do to\u00a0prevent\u00a0objections rather than asking our salespeople to &#8220;handle&#8221; them?<\/h4>\n<h4>3.) What can we do to reduce the need to exert closing pressure and encourage our prospects to enthusiastically buy?<\/h4>\n<h4>Our SoundADvice radio e-marketing system is helping stations answer all three questions;<\/h4>\n<h4>1.) SoundADvice creates trust and credibility for account executives with new prospects every week warming up those cold calls.<\/h4>\n<h4>2.) SoundADvice educates advertisers\u00a0on\u00a0how to get a higher return on their advertising investment, minimizing objections.<\/h4>\n<h4>3.) SoundADvice invites advertisers who are ready to\u00a0buy, to\u00a0make an appointment with your account executives FIRST.<\/h4>\n<h4>Are you ready to take responsibility for your organization&#8217;s sales?<\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"mailto:belinda@wensmedia.com;angela@wensmedia.com?subject=I%20would%20like%20to%20arrange%20an%20overview%20of%20SoundADvice&amp;body=Please%20supply%3A%0AName%3A%0AMarket%3A%0APhone%3A%0ABest%20day%20and%20time%20to%20contact%3A\" target=\"_blank\" shape=\"rect\">Click here<\/a>\u00a0to arrange a free\u00a0online\u00a0demo to discover what SoundADvice can do for your organization.<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When sales organizations are not achieving their\u00a0targets,\u00a0they often point their fingers at individual salespeople.
