What you don't want to sound like
Her - "Hello?"
Me - "Yes, may I help you?"
Her - "May I speak to the owner please?"
Me - "Yep, that's me... How may I help you?"
Her - "I'm calling today to offer to put your business on the top page of Google and"
Me - "Sorry to interrupt, you're with Google?"
Her - "No sir, but we will get you on the front page of Google"
Me - "Great, for what term? Can it be for my services?"
Her - "Sure, what are your services?" (She called Internet Marketing Niagara Falls)
Me - "I put businesses on the top page of Google" (I never, ever say that to prospects.)
Me - "Hello?, Hello?"
She hung up.
They don't even look at company names or care what we do. It's a numbers game and they're calling people in your community and will overcharge them for services that don't produce results. You owe it to your community to protect business owners from these firms.
I've talked to many clients who get 3 to 5 calls like that each week. I receive 1 a week on average.
Don't be like that, do your research first, offer real value and personalize your calls.
