If you own a concrete coating business
If you’re struggling to close more jobs, I invite you to watch this video.
Okay. So before we get into this video, I want to explain what it’s about.
We listen to some of our clients’ calls to make sure that
the calls are going smoothly – that if the leads are going well
and if it’s good quality leads.
And during that process. I realized that there had been some struggles on the phone,
trying to deal with people
and understand what it is that they’re trying to tell us
When they’re talking to you on the phone; much like a relationship-building situation
Whether you have a coffee shop, bar, or whatever it is, try to start a relationship.
If you start talking about yourself, the game is over.
So what I decided to do was create some videos, and this is going to be all part of a series,
make some videos where I can provide some tips
and tricks on how to overcome some of these things on the first initial call.
I can’t necessarily help you with the on-site estimation type situations,
although there are some strategies for that, too.
But this will be a game-changer for you.
Only because that’s the very first time that they ever get to talk to you.
So this first initial call
and conversation is the one that matters the most and will be the deciding factor
on whether or not this company is going to or this person. Is going to buy from you.
So enjoy watching the video and let me know what you think.
Talk to you soon.
This is a perfect example of what not to do ever, ever, ever ever, ever ever.
I’m going through one of my clients’ call logs,
and I’m noticing a consistent pattern on what’s going on regarding receiving these halls.
And I just want to share it with you.
So, let’s listen and see what you think about this.
Call 1
Sorry I missed your call.
Please leave a detailed message, and I will call you back as soon as possible. Thank you.
Okay, so is that one?
Call 2
Sorry I missed your call.
Okay? This one.
Call 3
Sorry I missed your call. Please leaving.
Okay? Here’s the next one.
Call 3
Sorry I missed your call.
Please leave a detailed message, and I will call you back one more.
I’m sure you got my point at this stage.
Call 4
Sorry, I missed your call. Please leave a detailed message.
Okay. Don’t let your calls go to voicemail!
If you do, you need to call them back immediately,
not 20 minutes later, not tomorrow morning. You know, if it’s after hours,
most people appreciate that because you know what,
the prospect can’t get ahold of anybody else after hours. Anyway.
But this is a major problem because these calls were made during the day/in the morning.
If this person calls you and has to go to voicemail.
They’re not waiting for your call. They’re going on to the competitor.
On to your competitor, and that’s all there is to it.
So, if you do not have the ability to answer phone calls,
get a call center. It will be worth the time in the money
because imagine how many people are going to convert into customers.
Just because you answer the phone or they had somebody that they could talk to you.
It’s important. I can’t stress it enough.
Like you go of all your calls, going to voicemail.
These people aren’t calling back, right?
So hopefully, you call them back in time.
Before they said, “Sorry, I went on to someone else.”
And I can tell you from experience that this does happen.
When I had my window cleaning pressure washing company and my Christmas light company
At the beginning, with my window cleaning, that’s what I did.
I let everything go to voicemail because I didn’t have time.
I was busy doing the work right, but I got a call center.
I would answer the phone. I had a Bluetooth headset.
Obviously, in a lot of cases. You can’t have a Bluetooth headset when you’re grinding concrete.
They can’t hear you, and it’s probably really unprofessional.
So in these cases you need to have, I don’t even care if you get a VA from overseas.
If you have a VA, then you can create scripts that they can answer the phone.
You have a system here at least our clients do; we have a CRM that they can use
and the VA can log-in and call or receive calls as well.
So, it’s really, really important to make sure that these people are getting reached out to. you’re paying for these leads.
These leads are coming in.
All your investment in marketing is dependent on you being able to handle these leads effectively.
People are not going to wait for you to return their call eight hours later or the next day.
You have to call them back within 15 minutes or answer the phone right away.
There’s no and if or buts, that’s just the way it is.
You have so much work to do
to provide trust and value and get them to like you.
This is the most important part of establishing a good relationship with your prospects
It is answering the phone, answer the phone.
Please just answer the phone. That’s all I got, guys.
Thanks for watching this short video.
We will see you on the next one.
So these videos are going to be part of a series of videos that we’re going to be creating
for everyone that does concrete coating.
Just to try to see if we can help get over this struggle of sales.
Right? It’s one of the hardest things to get over.
It’s not for everyone. It’s, you know, maybe you’re at the level of your
business where you don’t need to do it yourself.
You can hire a sales person for it. Obviously that’s ideal.
But that’s not everyone, right? And so overcoming,
some of these objections is really critical in the growth of your business.
If you can nail that part of your business,
you’re going to crush it. You’re just going to crush it in your Market.
No one will be able to compete with you, if you know how to listen and talk to your prospects.
