Telemarketing: What Not to Say | Callbox Telemarketing Telemarketing is all about the right words and the right time to say them. Communicating effectively is most essential part of effectively close a deal. And communicating efficiently means choosing the phrases that needs to be said and the phrases that needs to be verbally held off. Although most companies hire telemarketing services, you must take responsibility in picking not just the right people but also the right words that would represent your company. Closing the deal before opening. Customers get discouraged when you bombard them with obvious sales talks. Avoid straying from the objective. Sell to the unlikely customer. Most of the time, you’ll have to deal with the final decision makers, or the executives, and insisting on a product or service that they can’t entirely benefit from will never work. Avoid Jargons! Bottom-line is you need to prepare a script that fits your target customers.
