How to plan out your sales calls
First, how many sales appointments do you want or need for the month? Let's say, you need 10 appointments each month. If an appointment is about 2 hours long, you will need 20 hours total for the entire month. Take out your monthly calendar and mark of 20 hours.
Now lets take a step back. What did you do to get those appointments? You made phone calls. You need about 20 phone calls before you got those 10 appointments. How long were you on the phone, about 15 minutes? Now block off that time on your calendar.
Before you start making phone calls, put a list of your contacts together. Have there name, address, phone number, even secretaries names if needed. To help you make those calls, write a sales script. Use the script as a reminder.
This is the beginning steps of planning your business. You can use this formula for almost every project.
