They want to work with salespeople who have put in the extra effort to learn about their business BEFORE they call.<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>The skeptical business owner is saying to themselves; &#8220;I don\u2019t know you, I don\u2019t know what you stand for, I don\u2019t know your company, and what do you know about my business or any business for that matter?&#8221;<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Effort breeds psychological reciprocity; that deep-rooted subconscious need to do something for someone who has done something for you.\u00a0Provide your prospects with usable knowledge about their business over a period of time, and you might just peak their interest \u2013 IN YOU!<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>You can begin building your brand and demonstrating your knowledge and effort by sending a few helpful marketing tips like those in our SoundADvice e-marketing system BEFORE you ask for the appointment.<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Once you have presold who you are, what company you\u2019re with, and what you stand for, securing an appointment will become much easier.\u00a0Better yet, they&#8221;ll just call you for that appointment!<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>The bottom line? The most important thing you have to sell is trust.\u00a0And trust is built over time, not with just one phone call or one cold call.<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Busy decision makers today don\u2019t have time for typical salespeople or old school sales tactics. But they will make time to talk to professionals who have branded\u00a0themselves as marketing experts who know something about their particular business category, and who appear willing and able to help them grow their business.<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Want to learn more about how the SoundADvice e-marketing system can pre-sell your media reps\u2019 qualifications?\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:rick@wensmedia.com,%20belinda@wensmedia.com\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a>\u00a0to set up a time to talk with Rick.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remember the days when getting a first appointment with your new prospects was relatively easy, and more calls meant more appointments?
