The Right Way to Call Print Buyers
My last PI blog post dealt with print buyers screening sales calls. This practice is efficient, no matter how frustrating it may be to salespeople. It also doesn’t mean your calls won’t be returned—just that you’d better leave something memorable in that voice mail.
The last thing I want to do is put words in your mouth when you call a prospect. There’s no specific script that works every time; buyers are different. I’d guess most get an average of 5 to 10 calls a week from printers, so they’ve heard it all. You need to plan.
