24.01.2022 If I charge too much, people wont buy from me. There are cheaper products in the marketplace prospects will no doubt go with my competitors. I need to reduce my fees to convert more clients. If you find yourself saying these thingsSTOP! The truth is, your prospects and clients will pay high prices for your products and services if they find them of value! ... . . Our Director Ashleigh Alsadie understands that pricing in sales can be one of the biggest barriers to purchase and a roadblock for many salespeople. It is one of the hottest topics for her coaching clients.

But, Ashleigh always reinforces that if your product or services price reflects significant points of differentiation, you can come out on top! . . Here are some top tips for convincing the customer to buy a more expensive product or service: Understand your buyer persona Help them envision what success looks like Ask about when low-cost choices let them down Dont offer discounts unless theyre ready to sign . . Do you find your products and services are considered as quite expensive in the marketplace? What strategies have you used to convert prospects, making sure price wasnt a barrier? . . . . #sales #selling #coldcalling #coldcallingqueen #business #salestips #businessgrowth See more

21.01.2022 During the latest episode of The Jester To Royalty Project podcast, The Ice Is Melting for Cold Calling: What This Evolution Means For Sales, special guest Nick Redstone talks to our Director Ashleigh Alsadie about the evolution of sales. He highlights how brain science has become such an important part of the modern sales process. That sales people need to move from 101 sales skills to understanding 103 brain science, cognitive threads, and how to sell with EQ not IQ to be... effective in their roles today. . . Ultimately, buying is an emotional experience. Even when we think we are making rational decisions, often we can unconsciously be hijacked by emotions.

21.01.2022 So here’s a question that’s sure to ignite a heated debate: sales scripts - should a salesperson use them? . . In the most recent episode of ‘The Jester To Royalty Program’ special guest Ravi Rajani and our Director Ashleigh Alsadie talked through the transferable skills that we can take from the world of acting, TV and the performing arts, to enhance our ability to sell. Not surprisingly, scripts were a hot topic for them!... . . They both agreed that scripts can be a very powerful tool, and that there is certainly a ‘time and place for them.’ But Ravi put it so well when he said salespeople need to have freedom in a framework. It’s up to us as salespeople make the dialogue within these scripts our own, to make them ‘fun, engaging and authentic.’ And also to be wary that, if you’re being owned by your script, and when you take it away you can’t have a conversation, that’s a problem. . . Do you use a script when selling (particularly over the phone?) . . Make sure to check out the podcast for all the details.

21.01.2022 Our Director Ashleigh Alsadie is delighted to be presenting the online workshop Sales and Sales Pipelines Rebuilding and Reconnecting on Wednesday, June 3, 2020 for One Roof. As part of their fantastic Oneline membership, One Roof are delivering a series of these lunchtime sessions between 12-1pm. . . In this current climate, businesses are realizing the importance of rebuilding their sales pipelines. ... The COVID-19 crisis and economy has claimed many sales pipelines as victims. Customers are more hesitant to enter the buying cycle, more hesitant to make the final purchase decision, and the sales pipeline is harder to keep full. But there are some companies that are not only surviving, but are THRIVING during these turbulent times, and it can be attributed to the fact that they know how to accurately assess the volume, speed, balance, and quality of business in their pipeline. They manage their opportunities. They find new opportunities, qualify or disqualify them, and pursue the qualified opportunities in an effective manner with the necessary resources. Most importantly, the best companies can curb their customers perception of risk, while at the same time closing the deal at reasonable prices, terms, and conditions. . . During this workshop, Ashleigh will be teaching participants a proven sales process plus other strategies, that will allow them to not only increase the size of their pipeline, but more importantly the quality of what is in it, allowing for improved sales performance. . .

21.01.2022 Its the end of the working week and our question to you is this: did you complete ALL of your sales tasks? Or, just like in our Director Ashleigh Alsadies video, are you telling yourself youre so successful whilst ignoring all of the cold calling and lead generation activity that you needed to do? . . Quite often, people will argue that nurturing current accounts and focusing entirely on client relationships is the best way to sustain and grow their business.... And dont get us wrong - delivering a premium service and developing long term partnership with those who have already signed with you is crucial. BUT the team at The PromoDonna also believe that if you are not consistently prospecting for NEW leads, youre putting your business in danger. . . Imagine if youre 3 largest clients walked right now... Is your pipeline strong enough, and do you have a stream of new leads coming in, so much that youd be able to replace them? During these turbulent times, its critical that you implement an effective lead generation strategy. Even if this just means setting aside a few hours a week to call new companies that youd love to work with. . . Do you set aside time to prospect to new leads every week? Do you think cold calling / lead generation is just as important as nurturing your current client accounts? . . . . #sales #selling #salestraining #coldcalling #coldcallingqueen #business #salestips See more

12.01.2022 PODCAST SNEAK PEAK #2: WHEN BRINGING DEAD LEADS BACK TO LIFE, HOW DO WE GET PAST THE GATEKEEPER? Ah those gatekeepers If it wasnt for them, Business Owners and sales people would find their jobs a whole lot easier. Not having to explain ourselves so much, and cutting right through to the decision maker! We think gatekeepers are one of the reasons people avoid following up old leads. And thats why it was a key focus on our Director Ashleigh Alsadies recent podcas...t episode Bringing Your Dead Leads Back To Life: . . Here are two of her top strategies for getting past the gatekeeper in order to revive an old lead: Leverage from past relationships: If you have the decision makers name John Smith, let the receptionists know that you used to speak with him, and also referring to him on a first name basis (John) is a good way to demonstrate familiarity Research: If you determine through research that a new contact is there, still refer to your past relationship with John, and say that youve been informed that a new person is in place. By insinuating that a conversation took place - rather than just research - and that you need to speak to the new person, gives you a sense of importance and makes you sound less like a cold caller . .

07.01.2022 Lights, CameraSell! What can we as salespeople learn from actors? . . People often ask our Director Ashleigh Alsadie why she loves cold calling and sales so much.... She told us that when she really thinks long and hard about it - aside from being a people person, being very target driven, and loving the thrill of turning a no into a yes - she attributes most of her infatuation for selling to her performance background. Having worked extensively in the TV and Film industry in her younger years, she recognises that both the role of an actor and a sales person require the same passion, energy and thinking. . . Now, I know some of you may be getting your back up about this doesnt acting mean that youre not being authentic and honest in your approach? Are you pretending to be someone youre not? It is quite the opposite in fact. To be a brilliant actor, you have to be able to bring an element of truth and you to each and every scene. . . During this post, Ashleigh takes you through how you can look to the stage and screen to help prepare for the challenges of pitching. She highlights the similarities that will prove as guideposts for selling. Including: Motivation Conflict Discoveries The Communication Cycle . . Each selling situation is similar to an acting scene. Each has its conflicts and its desire for resolution. Remember the conflict, build the relationship, develop trust, formulate emotion, and then close the business. . . Have you had any performing in your background? Has it helped your ability to sell? . . . . #sales #selling #coldcalling #coldcallingqueen #business #salestips #businessgrowth #womeninbusiness #womeninsales #lmbdw #fempreneur #professionalspeaker #entrepreneurship #smallbusinessowners #networking #mumpreneur #acting #actors #tv #film #onemilliondollars #professionalspeaker #speaker #speakinggigs

07.01.2022 Our Director Ashleigh Alsadie had a conference call yesterday with the Director of a lead generation company in the UK. They were discussing the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on both of their businesses. Fortunately, they both found themselves in a great position, because the fact is, businesses will always want and need new sales leads! At The PromoDonna, we have been continuing our cold calling activity for a lot of our clients...and were still getting consistent results...! But one thing that we have noticed is the change in the cut through rate, and our ability to convert. Because people are working offsite, theyre proving hard to reach. BUT once we do get through to a decision maker, theyre very open to conversations, and most are converting into opportunities. . . What does this mean for you, if youre proactively calling during this time? You are going to reach a lot of voicemails - more than ever before. But if you are well prepared and persist, youll generate a lot of results. . . You should develop a voicemail template, one that is 18-30 seconds long. Any longer that 30 seconds and your prospect will probably lose interest in your sales message. Make it clear. Make it concise. And make it intriguing!! Once youve developed this voicemail script/template practice, practice, practice. And persevere!! . . . . #sales #selling #coldcalling #coldcallingqueen #business #salestips #businessgrowth See more

06.01.2022 When it comes to selling, are you a hunter or a farmer? . . A sales hunter is defined as someone who opens new markets and finds new customers. The cold callers, direct marketers and lead generators of the world. Ultimately, those who love the sales grunt work most avoid! A sales farmer takes incoming enquries; converts hot leads and spends their time cultivating existing customers to allow for even more sales.... . . In this current economic climate, our Director Ashleigh Alsadie believe farmers would be finding it a lot tougher. This is because, if you concentrate your efforts on existing customers, you become totally reliant on their success for your success. When you factor in the current state of the economy, if youve spent your time only cultivating your sales with existing customers, youll find yourself at risk if they go out of business, have to cut their budgets, or put things on hold. . . If you want to survive and thrive during this time, Ashleigh believes you need to commit to becoming the sales hunter you were always meant to be! You can achieve this by: Investing in courses/programs Modelling your behaviour on someone who is a great cold caller/lead generator Practice, practice, practice. Do lead generation activity DAILY . . What would you define yourself as: a hunter or a farmer? And has the current climate forced you to change? . . . . #sales #selling #coldcalling #coldcallingqueen #business #salestips #businessgrowth See more

04.01.2022 The PromoDonna is 9 years old this month! Oh how time flies when youre having fun cold calling and selling! . . Our Director Ashleigh Alsadie says she remembers the first cold call she ever made. ... I was so nervous, and stumbled my way through the conversation. Quite quickly though, I found there were ways to build rapport with prospects.

Ashleigh decided in 2011 to fill a gap in the market place and create a lead generation company that would create high quality sales meetings in the B2B space.

02.01.2022 Are you measuring and tracking all of your cold calling / sales calls? Do you know your telesales stats? So many businesses and sales people arent, and its one of the biggest mistakes theyre making! . . We had an enquiry once, from a company that wanted to outsource lead generation because their internal cold caller wasnt performing.... Theyre hopeless! they told our Director Ashleigh Alsadie. She asked why this person wasnt producing the results they were looking for, and they werent quite sure. Tell me about their stats. How many calls are they making? How many decision makers do they speak to? What are their conversion rates? There was silence on the other end. This was something they had never thought of measuring, and yet it would have provided them with all of the answers. . . During this video Ashleigh shares key metrics, that we track everyday at The PromoDonna to help knock your telesales out of the park! The benefits of measuring and monitoring your call stats are endless, but some of the key outcomes from doing this are: Motivating you and your Team, as you see your call rates soar toward your targets Determining if you have a well targeted and qualified list Working out if your approach resonates with your target market Finding out how many people are saying no and why, so that you can refine messages and prepare for future objections . .
