One question I always when helping sales teams prospect better, is “why B2B professionals don’t like to telephone prospecting?” Rather than worrying about rejection, focus on what proceeds it, an objection.

One blur is the line between who is a buyer and who is a prospect. Assuming buyers and prospects are the same and the words interchangeable perhaps explains the output numbers year after year. You need to accept that prospects are not buyers, which is a good thing for us. Prospects are entirely different than buyers.

It’s about voicemail for buyers vs. voicemail with prospects. And all this will serve you well as a salesperson once you are engaged and selling to a prospect. Base assumption: You need to speak with the prospect to initiate a cycle. In prospecting there is nothing to continue, the whole thing is about starting.

Who do you think knows why your prospect buys? Who do you think knows when your prospect is going to buy? The answer, of course, is your prospect! The problem for many sales reps, is that they prefer to pitch and talk at prospects more than they actually ask questions and listen. Or who they like to buy from?

Executing a prospecting call well, requires competencies and skill different from selling; prospecting is in many ways counter to sales.

When prospecting doesn’t take place on a daily basis, salespeople fail to build their pipelines. Whether you call it cold-calling, prospecting, outbound, or hunting, the name doesn’t change what it is or how difficult it is. Who is capable of hunting? The answer depends on a salesperson’s Sales DNA.
