Script for prospecting to local businesses face to face
To those of you who are successful selling to local businesses or if you're great at sales, can you give me some feedback on my script?
1. I'll walk in and ask 'How's business?', then I'll ask what marketing they're doing and how it's working out for them.
2. I'll ask them if they have a website and whether they are getting any sales/customers/clients etc from their website, how much traffic it gets basically whether they're happy with the level of results they're getting and get them to open up to me about what problems and challenges they're having, etc. I'll ask what online marketing they are currently doing, whether they do social media marketing etc.
3. I'll tell them I'm a marketing consultant who helps local businesses with their online marketing and increase their sales, then I'll ask the owner whether they'd be open to a no obligation chat about their business and current marketing strategies, whether I could take a quick look at their website, and how I can help them improve it.
4. I'll then make a marketing strategy for them, suggest how their site could be improved, I'll tell them what my prices are upfront and the monthly fee, then if they're interested I can get half the money upfront there and then.
People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

What if they're not stars? What if they are holes poked in the top of a container so we can breath?
