Sales Tips: How to Meet and Sell to CEOs – Biz Coach

SEATTLE - Aug. 9, 2019 - PRLog -- To lay the foundation for a long-term business relationship, Biz Coach Terry Corbell says start at the top of your target company, the CEO,with an in-person cold call.

"It's always best to start at the top because it's much easier to work your way down the organization than it is to work your way up," advises The Biz Coach.

"True, executives are busy but they appreciate assertive professionalism," he adds.

"You'd be amazed how much time and energy you'll save," he maintains. "Many times, the CEO is the ultimate decision-maker."

"Yes, I know, conventional wisdom dictates that you sit in the office to make phone calls," he concedes. "Bear in mind that gatekeepers are good at screening out telephone solicitations, but today's generation of receptionists has less experience in turning back a savvy salesperson."

He adds: "A cold call is beneficial in other ways."

"You get to familiarize yourself with the prospect's office environment, and it's an opportunity to make a favorable impression with the people who count — the gatekeeper, an executive secretary and the top boss," he asserts.

"If you're really good and lucky, you might be allowed in to see the CEO to make an appointment," he points out.

But he cautions to get through to the CEO  you must have several attributes: Research, precise record-keeping, assertiveness and energy, patience, and skill.
