Don't do this...

in #sales6 years ago

Every few days I get an overly familiar message where someone pretends they're...

a) "Checking to see if I got their last message" or
b) says they're "interested in discussing ideas", or
c) that they "want to check how I am generating leads/saving money/handling shipping or etc"

But really they just want to sell me something.

What a poor sales technique. I always block those people. Not because I don't need their products but because it's dishonest and creepy.

For all you hustlers looking to get the meeting, why not try honesty? It would be better to say, "Hi, I save people money on shipping, and here are​ three references. Do you ship things?"

If I need shipping, that would work better than pretending we're best friends. And it won't get you blocked.

Happy Selling...
