This is my second week working as a telemarketer. We sell vacation packages at a really good price. I made two sells my first week, which my boss said was good. But I haven’t made any sells this week yet. I’m afraid they are going to fire me if I don’t get any sells this week. Does anyone have any advise for me?
I’ve never been a telemarketer, but when they call my house, I get annoyed, usually because they come on extremely strong. Don’t come on strong to people, be very polite, make sure you know everything about the packages you are selling, and don’t talk extremely fast. Don’t act like a telemarketer, just act like a regular person who’s out to take care of the family. People will be more quick to listen to you.
I’m in sales as well. It’s really hard and cut-throat. Just be patience, but aggressive and remain calm.
stop calling people. that is all the help you need. get another job but learn english first.
The best advice: believe in yourself! Obviously, you have some talent for cold-calling and selling, so just relax and realize it WILL happen.
The other huge piece of advice–SMILE when you are talking on the phone…it will come across to the person on the other end of the line. Enthusiasm cannot be faked…believe in yourself, believe in what you are selling/doing…and everything will fall into place.
Good luck…and BTW, you sold two packages last week! They are NOT going to can you!
Remember this is the fourth of july week and depending on where you are calling people may already be on vacation.
Also, most people *hate* telemarketers. I know that I for one do not take their calls.
Keep looking for another job.
Difficult thing to do, i remember when i use to work at telemarketing company……i believe u might have a pitch to read from,try modifying ur pitch……be quick with details,i hope it helps……..
stick with it and try your best
its rough….just keep trying…treat everyone as a person….holiday weeks are always bad..
I was a telemarketer and I loved it and did well.
It takes time and patience to learn the business, to learn what works and what doesn’t. You need motivation and you must not lose hope because it can me discouraging at times.
Ask your boss what is the average amount of business package the average telemarketer sells in a month. Maybe this will make you feel better.
