Desperately Seeking Prospects

Corporate decision-makers typically hang up on cold-call
voice mail messages after only nine seconds. No matter how
good a sales team’s face-to-face selling skills are, if they
can’t schedule meetings with prospects, they can’t win new
business. But prospecting has traditionally been one of
the least liked, least understood, and least effective compo-
nents of major account selling. Desperately Seeking Pros-
pects helps consultative, business-to-business sales organi-
zations get the prospecting results they require. This
one-day workshop teaches practical methods for selecting
the right targets and planning and executing effective pros-
pecting calls.
