When I did a stint at telemarketing,
I was given a script.
It had an opening,
a pitch,
answers to objections
and a standard close.
What I noticed though
was that the top earners in the room
didn’t use scripts.
The information imparted may have been the same
but the words were personalized
for each prospect.
As Margot Bartsch explains
“People want to be treated as individuals
and will turn off in a heartbeat
if they feel they are being treated otherwise.
We have basic information
to deliver to the customer
that should be pitched
in a different manner
based on somebody’s personality,
age, occupation and energy.”
Personalize your pitches.

on the shelf.
