Yes, a lot of telemarketing representatives and sales managers will cringe at the thought of saying those words, and for a good reason. They are trained and focused on being the experts in a particular business, where their words will convince their potential sales leads that they can be trusted. Saying, or admitting, that they do not know the answer to a question is a bad sign, one that can ruin the success of a lead generation campaign. But that is not always the case.
The first thing that you have to remember is that no one is perfect. No matter how much you study or prepare yourself before an appointment setting call, there will always be a case where you may not be able to answer a question. It may sound counter-intuitive to admit that you do not know the answer, but actually, it can work the other way around.
A lot of business prospects are tired of hearing marketers and sellers claiming that they have all the answers to their current business woes. So it can be a refreshing change to hear someone admit that they do not know something, perhaps along the lines of how a prospect’s business operates. This creates an opening for you to know more about the prospect. Ask them how they go about their business, learn from their demonstration, check all the facts, and look deeper into their problems. Only then will you be able to come up with a winning solution.
That is the winning strategy in gaining more B2B leads for your business.
