Making sales calls is one of the inescapable responsibilities of being a business owner. Yet, many business owners are not good salespeople; do not want to make sales calls or are making sales calls the wrong way.

Remember that the initial sales call is not the end-all, be-all of your sales effort; it is just the start of the process. You do not have to close the deal on the first call; you just need to peel back a few layers of the onion to identify interest and opportunity. From there you can try to get your prospect to agree to take a second call, schedule a meeting/demo, or commit to whatever the next step of your sales process might be.

If not, do not just launch into your sales script – ask questions to make sure you are talking to the right decision maker that you actually need to reach. Interestingly, often getting the right person on the phone is a more complex and difficult process than ultimately making the sales call itself.
