Take Responsibility for Sales<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

           When sales organizations are not achieving their targets,<\/span> they often point their fingers at individual sales people. The three most common criticisms these organizations default to are;<\/font><\/div>\n
1.) Our people don’t prospect enough; not enough cold calls.<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
2.) They don’t know how to handle objections.<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
3.) They don’t know how to close.<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
          Of course they do need to do more prospecting, learn to handle objections and increase the number of ‘asks’ to increase their sales.<\/font><\/div>\n
          The two most common solutions these organizations pursue to achieve these objectives are;<\/font><\/div>\n
1.) More training for the sales people<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
2.) New<\/span> sales compensation plans <\/font><\/div>\n
          Seldom do these failing organizations take responsibility and take a close look at themselves<\/u>. <\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
          In addition to the two basic solutions prescribed here, the most successful organizations we see, ask themselves these important questions;<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
1.) What are we doing to warm up those cold calls for our account executives?<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
2.) What can our organization do to prevent <\/i>objections rather than asking our sales people to ‘handle’ them?<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
3.) What can we do to reduce the need to exert closing pressure and encourage our prospects to enthusiastically buy?<\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
          Our SoundADvice is helping stations answer all three questions; <\/font><\/div>\n
1.) SoundADvice creates trust and credibility for account executives with new prospects every week warming up those cold calls.<\/font><\/div>\n
2.) SoundADvice educates advertisers on<\/span> how to get a higher return on their advertising investment, minimizing objections.<\/font><\/div>\n
3.) SoundADvice invites advertisers who are ready to buy, to<\/span> make an <\/font><\/div>\n
appointment with your account executives FIRST.<\/font><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
