Back to Basics Series Part 4 - Make Your Cold Calls Warm With This Hack! | Donald Kelly - 1850

There are going to be good days and bad days in this industry. You shouldn’t let the negative moments make you avoid the steps you must take to become a top agent.  The road to success is paved with resilience, strategic prospecting, and relentless determination. I’m excited to share insights from a powerhouse in the sales world, Carson Heady, who shares his innovative approaches to the three truths behind B2B sales success. Meet Carson Heady   An old friend and past guest of mine, Carson holds 25 years of experience in B2B sales. He is a strong advocate for buyer-centric approaches and has carved out a niche for himself at Microsoft.   Carson is also an accomplished author with two books to his name. In this episode, he discusses his most recent book, *The Show Must Go On*, where he shares his sales methods for gaining C-level executives as prospects by doing three things that most sellers avoid: remaining resilient, prospecting correctly, and being persistent. B2B Resilience Issue: Using AI Honorably   There’s been a big shift in how sellers do business, thanks to AI technology. Everyone is either afraid of losing their jobs to AI or thinks that AI should do all the work while they do nothing.   While using AI, you still have to remember that human connection is essential. The top agents using AI have figured out how to connect with their buyers genuinely and authentically.   Carson shares how he used AI to reach over 500 employees in one company and land a deal. It’s a sales technique he outlines in his book, known as the Moneyball approach, which has helped him consistently move buyers through the pipeline and close deals. Effective Prospecting   You know you need to find prospects, but instead of doing the task, you find yourself in your laundry room folding clothes.  Let’s face it—you don’t want to be rejected, and that kind of puts you in a down mood for the day.   But if you want to make money, you’re going to have to get over it. Focus on what you can control, and don’t worry if a prospect rejects a deal. Stay Persistent   There’s a reason why Carson gave his book the title. You can’t dwell on rejection. If a buyer says no to a deal, move on to the next one.   Carson shares how he likes to think of himself as the Rocky Balboa of sales. Despite hearing countless "no’s" from buyers, he kept moving forward. And now, look at how successful he is today! “Control what you can control. You can control if and how you prospect. And you've got to do it.” - Carson Heady.

Your prospect has rejected the deal, and now you’re unsure whether to try another sales tactic to change their mind or simply move on. This final episode of the Back to Basics series will guide you in overcoming sales objections and keeping your pipeline moving forward. Slow Down It’s natural to do everything in your power to get a prospect to say yes. This can often lead to rushing the sales process in hopes of securing that long-awaited agreement. Instead of speeding up, take a moment to pause and breathe deeply. Begin addressing the objections raised by your prospect calmly and methodically. Taking the time to regroup prevents panic and helps you avoid costly mistakes. Express Appreciation Your prospect may have valid reasons for hesitating or declining to move forward in the sales process. Acknowledge this by expressing understanding and gratitude for their time. Next, use a softener to gain permission to dive deeper into their concerns. I explain how to do this in the episode, which will help you uncover the root cause of their objection. Don’t forget to use the “5 Whys” technique to get to the heart of the issue. Schedule the Next Meeting Once you’ve identified their real concern and explained how you can help solve the problem, schedule your next meeting.  Also, consider creating a clear plan outlining the next steps, so the prospect knows what to expect moving forward. “To overcome objections, it comes down to having conversations, being human, and expressing your feelings. Once you’re vulnerable, the prospect will feel more comfortable sharing their problems.” – Donald Kelly.

Before visiting Dubai, I did some research to determine if it was the right destination for a trip. If I hadn’t taken a few minutes to do so, I could have ended up having a horrible experience.   This is why it’s important for you to conduct discovery calls—to ensure you and your prospect will have a pleasant experience working together. In this episode, I share the basics of a discovery call and how to set one up properly to ensure you land a deal with your prospect.   The Purpose of Discovery Calls Discovery calls are meant to determine if you and the prospect are a good fit for each other.  Too often, sales reps focus solely on their own goals instead of the prospect’s needs. If you’re only focused on reaching your quota, how can you be sure your product will actually solve the prospect’s problem?   Steps to a Successful Discovery Call   Confirm the Appointment: Before the day of the discovery call, confirm the meeting and ensure that the right individuals will be attending.   Build Rapport: Start by asking probing questions to help the prospect feel comfortable and begin building a relationship.   Provide an Agenda: Clearly outline the purpose of the discovery call. This conversation is your opportunity to understand what’s going on with them and explore how you can provide a solution to their problem.   Pay Attention to Pain Points When the prospect begins sharing their challenges, listen with the intention of truly understanding their needs.   One of my future guests shared an active listening technique to help improve this skill. Also, pay attention to what the prospect isn’t saying, as this can help you uncover problems they may not even realize they have.   “To help the prospect, you must focus on them. This is how you know that you can provide a solution for them.” - Donald Kelly.

The first ten seconds of a cold call matter more than any other part of the outreach. But what do you say to keep your prospect from hanging up? In this episode, I’ll tell you exactly how to get them into your sales pipeline and close the deal.   1. Verify the Prospect  Before diving into your sales pitch, confirm that you’re speaking to the right person. This not only ensures your efforts are targeted but also gives you a moment to prepare your next move.   2. Greet with Your Name and Company   After verifying the prospect, introduce yourself by stating your name and the company you represent. This helps the prospect visualize who you are and understand why you’re reaching out.   3. POR: Point of Reference There’s a reason I always recommend LinkedIn. Use it as a point of reference to remind your prospect where they might know you from. This simple step can turn a cold call into a warm conversation, increasing the chances they’ll stay on the line instead of hanging up.   4. Relevance  Relevance is the icing on the cake—it’s where you show how you can help them. For example, if you noticed on LinkedIn that your prospect is new to their role as a hiring manager, mention that. This demonstrates that your outreach is tailored and thoughtful.   5. Value Proposition Your relevance should seamlessly lead into your value proposition. Using the hiring manager example, explain how you can help them find the right employees and ensure they’re well-trained to contribute effectively to the business.   6. Confirm the Next Step By this point, you’re about ten seconds into the call. If your prospect is still on the line, it’s a good sign! Use this opportunity to schedule an appointment for a more detailed conversation.   “Most prospects don’t want to talk to sellers and be sold to. But if you can get them to stay on the phone for 10 seconds, it buys you time to dive into the relevancy factor.” – Donald Kelly.   Resources The Sales Evangelist Sales Planner Cold Call Openers The Sales Evangelizers Facebook Group Sales Mastermind Group Sponsorship Offers This episode is brought to you in part by Hubspot.

It’s getting cold outside, but that doesn’t mean your cold calls have to freeze your sales pipeline. Tune in to hear my hack for warming up your prospects and getting them more receptive to your proposals.   Reach Out to Prospects on LinkedIn People are naturally skeptical of sellers, especially if they’ve never met you. That’s where connecting on LinkedIn can be a game-changer.   Use LinkedIn Sales Navigator or a similar tool to identify your prospects’ triggers and build a targeted list of potential clients.   Establishing a LinkedIn connection with your prospect before sending an email increases the chances they’ll respond positively when you cold call. It’s all about building familiarity and trust.   Make an Introduction Before Cold Calling Think back to the caveman days—introductions have always been essential to building trust.   By making an introduction first, you transform a cold call into a warm call because the prospect already knows who you are.   Establishing trust with your prospects through LinkedIn or a prior introduction sets the foundation for a successful sales conversation.   “When a trusted source vouches for someone, we’re far more likely to do business with them.” - Donald Kelly.  Resources The Sales Evangelist Sales Planner Cold Call Openers The Sales Evangelizers Facebook Group Sales Mastermind Group Sponsorship Offers This episode is brought to you in part by Hubspot.

There are 24 hours in a day, yet you’re struggling to find even one hour to prospect. I used to believe this lie myself, and it hurt my progress. In this episode, I share how to overcome this mindset and carve out time in your busy schedule for prospecting.   Plan It Out The simplest way to start prospecting is to plan it out. Set aside a specific time frame dedicated to finding clients.   Add this time block to your calendar and make it recurring. Consistently dedicating time will help you stay committed to prospecting.   While planning, set a clear goal for your session. For example, aim to have five meaningful conversations during this period. This will help you either move deals forward or identify prospects who aren’t the right fit.   Accountability If you’re struggling to find time for prospecting or to meet your goals, share your intentions with someone else. This could be your manager or a fellow sales representative.   Let them know you’re focusing on prospecting and ask them to hold you accountable. Having a partner to check in with can help you stay on track.   If you’re looking for support, check out The Sales Evangelist Facebook group or Mastermind course linked in the resource section below.   Practice Your Message Before reaching out to prospects, write down what you want to say. This will help you stay focused and avoid stumbling over your words during the conversation.   Additionally, research your prospect’s pain points and prepare a solution tailored to their needs. Being prepared will make your outreach more effective.   Eliminate Distractions  Distractions like social media, emails, and family interruptions can derail your efforts. As soon as you sit down to prospect, something seems to pull your attention away.   To stay focused, put your phone away and let others know you need uninterrupted time to work. If you have young children, schedule your prospecting sessions during their nap or bedtime to minimize disruptions.   You are the key driver of sales in your company, and no one else can do it like you can. Make the time to prioritize prospecting.  — Donald Kelly.  Resources The Sales Evangelist Sales Planner Cold Call Openers The Sales Evangelizers Facebook Group Sales Mastermind Group Sponsorship Offers This episode is brought to you in part by Hubspot.

In Part Two of the Back to the Basics Series, I cover a sales skill that everyone believes they need to master to close deals: multitasking. Honestly, I don’t think you need to be all that great at it. Why? Tune in to hear my thoughts on multitasking.   Multitasking Doesn’t Work You might have 20 tabs open on your CRM right now, along with countless tools and windows. It may feel like juggling everything at once makes you more productive, but research shows otherwise.   Focusing on one task at a time is actually far more effective for getting things done. In this episode, I share some research that debunks the false belief that multitasking is the key to productivity.   Identify What You’re Trying to Accomplish I get it—it’s hard not to multitask when you have a million and one things to do. However, to avoid being less productive, take a moment to define the goal of each specific task.  For example, if you’re prospecting, set a goal like having five conversations within an hour and booking one appointment. In the episode, I break down how to create effective and actionable goals like this.   Take Breaks I also share data on the benefits of taking breaks for your brain health. Overworking yourself doesn’t help you accomplish more—it does the opposite.   It’s okay to take short breaks throughout the day. If you work from home, step outside and get some fresh air.   Focus on a task for at least 90 minutes, then take a break. This approach will help you stay productive while allowing your brain the rest it needs to recharge.   “I encourage you to avoid multitasking. Instead, focus on one meaningful task at a time to stay productive and achieve better results.”  - Donald Kelly.

How can you build rapport without coming across as wanting something in return? Prospects can easily sense if you’re not genuinely trying to connect with them and are only interested in their money. If you’re struggling with this sales method, listen to my guest, Ante Mihaljević, a sales and communication expert, share his refreshing take on building rapport with prospects. The Importance of Genuine Rapport Stop making rapport feel gimmicky or disingenuous by showing genuine interest in understanding and helping a prospect. This approach makes them feel heard and valued, fostering openness and a positive relationship. Techniques for Building Rapport Ante shares valuable insights on building rapport effectively: Stay Focused and Curious: Be genuinely interested in your prospect’s needs and listen actively to their concerns. Mirror and Match: Observe and subtly mimic your prospect’s language and behavior to create a sense of familiarity and trust. Avoid Focusing on the Outcome: Concentrate on the interaction and the process of connecting with your prospect rather than the end goal of making a sale. Recognizing Genuine Connection How do you know when it’s time to transition from building rapport to having a sales conversation? It’s all about intuition! Ante explains that you’ll intuitively know when you and your prospect are in sync and ready to discuss sales. Practical Exercises for Sales Teams For sales managers looking to train their teams in rapport building, Ante suggests exercises such as: Observational Practice: Encourage your team to observe and analyze prospects’ breathing rates and language patterns. Mirroring Exercises: Help your team get comfortable with mirroring by practicing with each other before trying it with actual prospects. “They will start finishing your sentences. They will start breathing at the same rate you’re breathing. So, a lot of these non-verbals will happen. When you know that has happened, you’re ready to move on.” — Ante Mihaljević.

Following up scares you just as much as cold calling does. But just like cold calling, circling back with a prospect is an important sales technique that can help improve your closing rate. My follow-up tips will help you move through the sales pipeline three times faster and close deals more efficiently. 1. Give Them the Agenda Just like in basketball, if your prospect doesn't know the rules, they won’t play along in the sales cycle. During your first meeting, let them know what you’re going to cover and how your services can help them. 2. Set a Specific Date and Time for the Next Meeting Before you end your first meeting, don’t forget to set a specific date and time for the next one.  Remember, prospects have busy lives, and if you don’t provide clear details for the next meeting, they’re more likely to forget about following up with you. 3. Don’t Send Those Silly Follow-Up Emails The fact that you’re sending an email means it’s already a follow-up. So, there’s no need to add "follow-up" in the subject line or mention it in the email.  Instead, focus on standing out or offering something of value to the prospect. 4. Just Follow Up Stop overthinking it! It’s your hesitation that’s holding you back in the sales pipeline. Be confident, and just send the email! “Understand your self worth. Your job is to solve a problem for them. Don't be so worried about your feelings. Think about what impact you're going to have on that person in their business when you best help them.” - Donald Kelly.  Resources Cold Call Openers Sponsorship Offers This episode is brought to you in part by Hubspot.

Storytelling allows you to connect with your prospects on a more personal level. However, sometimes you might find yourself telling the wrong stories or sharing a story at the wrong time. My guest, Eugene Theodore, walks us through how to create impactful stories that align with your sales goals. Meet Eugene Theodore Eugene Theodore is a highly skilled and experienced storyteller with a background in sales and personal branding. His storytelling approach aligns a product or service’s message with the needs and values of a target audience. Eugene helps sales professionals and leaders navigate different stages of the customer journey by using storytelling to foster meaningful connections and close deals. Why Storytelling Matters in Sales People prefer to buy from those they trust and feel connected to. Without a genuine connection, prospects may choose not to move forward in the sales process. Eugene explains that storytelling serves as a powerful alignment tool throughout the customer journey. It brings the necessary harmony between the product, the company, and the target audience. The Story Matrix Tool If you find it challenging to craft effective stories, Eugene suggests using his “Story Matrix” tool. This tool helps map out various story types for different stages of the buyer’s journey: awareness, consideration, decision-making, and retention. The Story Matrix allows you to create a grid that matches different phases of the buyer journey with suitable story types—whether humorous, serious, technical, or adventurous. Applying the Story Matrix Eugene provides practical examples of how to use the Story Matrix to tailor stories for different audiences and stages of engagement. He emphasizes the importance of understanding a client’s personal interests, professional stage, and organizational needs to refine and personalize the story, making it more impactful. “The story matrix is simply understanding the consumer journey, whether it's B2B or B2C, and understanding what is the right kind of story at that moment in time.” - Eugene Theodore.  Resources Saga Squared  Cold Call Openers Sponsorship Offers This episode is brought to you in part by Hubspot.
