Approaching Strangers Online is Much Different From Real Life

Instant Messaging Case Study #8

This week's Case Study takes a look at the difference between making online and offline sales connections.

The beauty and simplicity of prospecting online is on full display here. 

Anyone can prospect this way with the right tools and instruction, but it’s a simple process, and there’s a time and place to say the right things in online conversations.  A persons posted profile helps you to pre-qualify them much easier than in the offline world, when you know what to look for.  Once you get your timing down you're off to the races.

Don't Mention Your Business to People Until You Know What They Do

Instant Messaging Case Study #7

Timing is everything.  In romance, in comedy and especially in sales.
The real art of conversation, face to face or computer to computer,
is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave
unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
If you say the right thing at the wrong time, you will drive or scare
away potential new clients, customers or new business.
Case in point:  the case study you’ll read in this week's special report.
Don’t let your hunger for new business spoil the appetite of your prospects.

Why You Need An Online Elevator Speech

Instant Messaging Case Study #2

When someone's sizing you up, wondering if they should even speak to you much less do business with you, time is of the essence.  That's why sales trainers and power networkers talk about the need to have an "elevator speech," that critical 15-second or 30-second summary of what you and your business are all about. It must be compelling, attractive and winning, or your prospect is gone.

Whether you're talking face to face, on the phone or online in an Instant Message, when it's time to use your "elevator speech" you're going to find it more effective online.

In this week's Instant Message Case Study you'll see what happens when you don't have some quick information about your business prepared and ready to plug into a conversation at a moment's notice.  It really can make or break you.
