Y do you feel like scum of the earth selling windows and doors, I have been in the double glazing industry for 10 years now and I have made lots of money and I love it you meet the most interesting people. Sound like to me you should give up because with a attitude like that your not going to sell anything, just move on its not for you. Don’t mean to sound harsh but Sales is harsh.

i worked in windows,(selling to builders), i don't agree with how the retail side try to sell. 1) if people want windows then they know there are enough firms around to go and look at. 2) Why phone the people, you can't see if they need windows or not so you are wasting a phone call and peoples time. Good luck with the job, rather you than me.

i really sympathise, those jobs are terrible. The only advice I can give is to try and be positive about every call, if you dont the listener will pick up on it and your success rate will plummet. Over than that find yourself a decent job, you'll be happier for it.

well dont knock on my door i hate cold callers, never ever buy from my doorstep, allready have double glazing anyway but still get the odd t**t who knocks on the door trying to sell me double glazing.

awol.telemarketing companies have the power,provided that they might be inclined to listen,to turn a workforce from heavy hitters predominating instead of the greater volume of modest to proven low end sellers,,,,,,,you already knowem both,,,the low end folks follow the script(the 80 percenters),,,,,,,make a couple ,sometimes a few appts/sales in the am,1 sale in the pm,,,,,,make a few bucks & go home,,,,,the other guys(the 20 percenters) produce quadruple the revs in coldcalling in the first 3 or 4 hrs,a lot more than the slojo,,,,,THEY end up calling from home,make house pmt,maybe have a sailboat,an rv,brand new home theatre system,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,the former,,and the latter have this difference,,,,different voice patterns,perhaps identifiable with audio equipment such as they use on tvs csi miami,,,,,it takes audio and either shows sound bites in graphic hills,points,peaks,like a polygraph,and has slider buttons that alter sound,slow it down,speed it up.the top seller might be an educated intelligent closer(frequently overrides customer resistance,and gets customer to say yes),,,,,,the the low seller usually gets customer resistance,hostility,,,,,,,,,sometimes the high seller is a jerk,a dirt bag,,,,,,,,but one who makes revs for the company,,,,,,,in my opinion only because of the voice tones he posseses,,,,i think this has to do with biology.and nothing to do with psychology.dale garnegie,sales motivation,,,having the right voice profile is an imperative to make money in cold calling tmktg,,,,,,and here the reason,,,,,the voice that humans react to on the phone has similar tones to the voice of parent in early years,,,,,whether dad,mom,,auditory circuits in kid get imprinted with voice patterns of adult in charge(like newly hatched birds lock on to and bond with the first thing that moves,,,,maybe moma bird a human child,etc),,,,,with humans ,its the hearing circuits,,,,,when a killer cold caller reaches a prospect by phone 30 or 40 years down the road,,,,,,,his voice triggers and acoustical memory,which induces compliance(a sale & close),,,,,,it takes some time & money to determine what these tones look like on a graphic equalizer/sound shaper ,i think they're there,,,,,,,greater proportion of revs of these companies(80 percent) produced by 20 percent of the work force,,,,,,and the converse is ,,,,,,,80 percent of workers produce 20 percent of tm revenues

Is a "salesman" the most useless job? Seriously though if someone actually wants something don't they go out and find it. I actually wanted double glazing and called the salesman who quoted and when I said that I was going to get extra quotes said "but it's this price only today". I said then in that case he wouldn't get the job. Surprisingly when I got the other quotes some days later he was back with an even better deal!

Glad to hear you have a script. Do you have more than one to choose from to alternate your approach? And measure the effectiveness of your TeleConsulting??? You want to talk about benefits, features, and convenience of your products and services. Ask Probing Questions? Open-Ended Question? To obtain feedback from the prospect. If you SMILE on the Phone you will make a good impression so don;t worry the more you smile and dial the better you will get at TeleConsulting. Talk with a fellow co-worker who is great on the phone?' Talk with the top producer and ask for some tips for success? Talk with your Supervisor/Manager and ask for feedback and tips? GOOD LUCK! :-)

if you feel youreslf running out of things to say just start all over again the chances are they dont listen to anything you say ,so just keep doing the numbers.you will then make a good average ,or get a job where the customers come to you
