Sound like something you'd say?

You're not alone. Even seasoned sales veterans admit that they struggle to find the right words to use when cold calling executives.

But when you're cold calling executives, you can't afford to waste time searching for words.

At most, you have 90 seconds to state your case and win an appointment. Or you'll hear the click of your prospect hanging up.

It's frustrating. Infuriating. Even embarrassing.

But "rejection" at "the top" is NOT a necessary evil. Not any more.

Now, you can cold call C-level executives with confidence ... and know in your gut that the "top" is where you belong. Because in this article, you'll discover the three biggest cold-calling challenges that keep you out of the executive suites.

More importantly, I'll introduce you to a time-tested system that helps you make the most of your 90-second window when cold-calling executives and their assistants. So you can schedule more sales appointments with multi-million-dollar decision-makers ... and reduce the amount of time you spend cold calling.

If you're ready to increase the number of sales appointments with C-level executives ... with fewer cold calls, keep reading.

“Grew Our Business 22% Last Year. We often get into the top decision maker’s office with the first phone call.”

"I can't tell you how great it is to be back on the phones making things happen. I also want to let you know that your information is very helpful because we have to get directly to the decision makers in order to get approval for the fees we charge!

One thing about calling the top is that it is the top. That person is most likely the decision maker. If it isn't the decision maker he or she will pass it on to the person who will follow through.

It's amazing to us how much more business and at a higher level we've started getting. We often get into the top decision maker's office with the first phone call."

Why Cold Calling Executives 
Baffles Even Experienced Sales Pros

There are three major reasons that you're struggling when cold calling executives for a sales appointment.

Cold Calling Challenge #1:

You Can't See the Whites of Your Prospect's Eyes

Cold calling prevents you from reading your prospect's body language. When you take pride in your ability to quickly glance at, assess a situation, overturn every objection, and close a sale on the spot ... the loss of visual input is unnerving.

According to Roger Ailes in You Are the Message, our interpretation of a face-to-face conversation is based on the following types of cues:

  • 55% nonverbal cues (body language)
  • 38% voice
  • 7% words

When you're selling over the phone, you're operating with less information than you get when selling in person. Almost 60% less! Which makes it much harder to take your prospect's sales temperature.

You often don't know that your prospect is losing interest until you hear - click! - and then the dial tone buzzing in your ear. You're left frustrated. A little confused. Pretty soon, that nagging little voice that says you don't know what you're doing begins to sound like the voice of reason.

Cold Calling Challenge #2: Your Chief Rival ... The Gatekeeper

You know deep in your gut that you could sell the pants off of an executive.

But first you have to get past the dreaded Executive Assistant.

You know the type. The human equivalent of Fort Knox. The bulldog who can sniff out a salesperson faster than a police dog nosing around for dope. The Keeper of the calendar who, you hand-on-a-Bible swear, throws your messages away before your complete phone number is even out of your mouth.

Stop! Put the brakes on that type of thinking, my friend. It's part of the problem.

It's the executive assistant's JOB to protect the executive. To protect the calendar. To create a line of defense so formidable that only people who are truly worthy of the executive's precious time and attention pass through.

The only way to gain access to the inner sanctum of the executive suites is to treat the executive assistant like the valued, right-hand person that he or she is. Not like Public Enemy #1.

Forget trying to push your way past the executive assistant to reach the boss. Forget being rude and refusing to give the assistant information. Forget calling back and disguising your voice after an executive assistant tells you "No!"

Executive assistants agree that these common tactics broadcast the fact that you don't belong in the executive suites.

Cold Calling Challenge #3: They Do Speak a Different Language in the Executive Suites

Have you ever hung up the phone after another failed cold call thinking ... maybe it's executives who are from Mars ... and salespeople who are from Venus?

You're not too far off.

Because executives and their assistants do speak a different language. It's the language of dollars, cents, and the bottom line.

If you want to grab the executive assistant's attention and instantly communicate that you belong on the executive's calendar, you must become fluent in 'Top Dog' language.

What executives want is a conversation that sounds like a balance sheet reads. Phrases like "cutting costs" or "increasing sales" are signals that you don't belong at the top. Executives want to hear phrases familiar to them like "cut expenses" and "increase revenues."

And don't forget to cut the fat out of your communications. Cut out the pleasantries - they waste time. Drop the background about your company - they're not interested. They want facts about what you can do for them ...  nothing but the facts.

Here's another way to look at it. Your typical selling style is like a novel. Carefully constructed. A rich tapestry of detail. Complete with detailed background about your company's history and a laundry list of product features and benefits.

But executives want the Cliff Notes version of your sales presentation. Only need-to-know facts. A bottom-line picture. Easily understood. And not one word wasted.

You Sold Me Leslie - I Want The System Now!

The Odds Are Stacked Against You

With traditional sales methods, on average, only 10% of the cold calls you make will result in sales appointments.

Now let's say you need to schedule 20 sales presentations a month to keep your sales pipeline comfortably full. With average results, you'll have to make 200 cold calls to keep your calendar full.

That's a lot of rejection.

After months, even years, of rejection, you might be ready to toss in the towel on the idea of cold calling. Pretty soon, you're forcing yourself to the telephone like a prisoner dragging himself down Death Row.

Now add in that peculiar habit that industry training tells salespeople to adopt: start at the bottom and try to network your way to the top.

Trying to Network Your Way to the Top?
You're Barking Up the Wrong Tree!

I know, I know.

Networking your way upstream feels safer. More comfortable. Less pushy.

There are two problems with this approach.

One, you're fighting a lot of competition—everyone else who learned to prospect starting at the bottom.

Two, it's not profitable.

If You Want Top Dollar Sales, 
You've Gotta Reach the Top Dogs!

As a sales professional, you have two goals.

GOAL #1: Maximize your sales. The larger your sale, the bigger your commission.
GOAL #2: Minimize your sales cycle. The faster you close a deal, the sooner you're free to move to your next prospect.

The top sales professionals know ... the fastest, easiest, most efficient way to sell more while slashing your sales cycle is to sell to the "Top Dogs."

Top executives are the ones with the authority to make multi-million-dollar decisions. And even if they won't be signing your sales contract, you can bet that the underling you're referred to will take you much more seriously when "The Top Dog" tells them to meet with you.

I can tell you this much: I've never met a sales professional who was sorry that he or she sold to top executives. They're only sorry they did not become a "Top Dog" sales strategist sooner.

The #1 Secret to 
Scheduling Appointments with Top Execs

Here's the part that surprises some salespeople. When you want to sell to the top, the fastest way to wrangle an invitation into the executive suites is ... to ... pick up the phone and ask.

You could use direct mail to solicit appointments. But direct mail campaigns take days ... weeks ... even months to prepare. And to succeed, you must possess a talent for writing copy that grabs your prospects' attention.

Let's face it. Your gift for sales gab is your strongest suit. And with one cold call, you can have a decision about your proposition for a sales meeting within a minute or two.

Cold calls are steroids for your sales results. There really is no faster, easier, more reliable way to make big-ticket sales (and lots of 'em) than to sell to top executives who have the authority and confidence to make multi-million-dollar decisions.

And there's no faster, easier, more reliable way to schedule sales appointments with the multi-million-dollar decision-makers than to cold call executives.

Increased Company Revenue by 50% for Several Years

"My staffing franchise has been very good to me. We’ve all done very well and in my aggressive pursuit of my market place I wanted more of the pie!

We're based in Orlando—the big, big client everyone wants is Disney. I did a few hundred hours worth of business with them over the years, but that was a drop in the bucket compared with the potential business to be had.


My sales staff and I kept running into closed doors at Disney. I wasn’t disheartened; I was at a loss for what in the world to try next. Then, I heard about this System for reaching 'Top Dogs.' I called Les and committed to giving this System a try. This new method breathed fresh air and new power into our prospecting techniques.

In spite of the temptation to tell prospects about about our success with other clients—we purposed to stick with the words the System told us to use, especially the benefit statement.

I learned a lot by just doing what the System told me to do. Now, I can see the error of our “past sales techniques.”

In hindsight I see the truth. My sales team and I got so excited about the potential business that we tripped ourselves up—by enthusiastically telling how much we’d done for our other clients we 'turned off' our prospects—we lost our focus and forgot to address the benefits to our prospect. And what a change this learning made . . .

Within a week I was in with the executive in charge of making decisions, within the month we signed a contract that literally increased my company’s revenues by 50% for several consecutive years.

My only regret is that this System wasn’t available 20 years ago!”

Two Easy Ways to Increase Sales Volume

You know that sales is a numbers game. Just like you know there are two easy and basic ways to increase your sales volume when cold calling executives:

  1. Double your dials
  2. Double your appointment scheduling rate

Hone your ability to cold call executives, and the numbers start to work in your favor. And you'll become one of the elite "Sell-ice-to-an-Eskimo; Sell-sand-in-the-desert" sales pros your peers only dream of becoming.

Let's take a look at what a simple change can do to your sales ...

Which Strategy for Doubling Sales Is Best for You?

 Fill in the empty boxes below to see which strategy makes sense for you.

Type in the number of calls you must make to get 1 appointment:   
Type in the number of appointments you need to close 1 sale:   
Type in the average size of your sales: $

Click the button below to determine your best course of action.

Now, look at what you would need to do to double your sales...

Approach #1
Double Your Dials

You can double your sales by making
 

calls to get
 appointments and close
2 sales for $ in sales

That’s for $ in sales in just
dials
 

Approach #2
Double Your Appointment Scheduling Rate

You can double your sales by continuing to make only

calls to get
appointments and close
2 sales for $ in sales

That’s $ in sales in just
dials.

This look at your numbers reveals you can double your earnings and sales in two ways:

1. Continue doing what you are doing now only double your dials, which means you will:

  •  Forfeit more of your selling time as you double the amount of time you spend "smiling and dialing"
  • Forfeit even more of your selling time as you research contact information for twice as many prospects as you dial now

2. Reap the rewards of the System for Cold Calling Executives that'll double the number of appointments you schedule with your current number of dials, which means you will:

  • Slash your cold calling time in half and get to spend more face time with prospects!  
  • Double your results as you learn to schedule twice as many meetings during the time you now invest in cold calling 

Who else wants to to double the rewards in half the time? Seems like an easy decision once you see the numbers in plain black-and-white, doesn't it?

Believe me, I know. Because I used to be in your shoes.

How a Terrified Temp 
Cracked the Code for Cold Calling Executives

Hi, I'm Les Buterin (like butterin' bread), the founder of Top Dog Consulting, a firm that helps salespeople reach and sell directly to top executives.

I've developed the most consistently successful, easy-to-implement system for cold calling presidents, CEOs and other top executives and scheduling sales appointments.

My system produces response rates that crush the industry standard. While most salespeople turn only about 10% of their cold calls into sales appointments, most users of my system have a scheduling rate between 40% and 60%.

In fact, I recently had an 80% scheduling rate ... simply by using these timeless, yet extremely powerful, principles.

But I wasn't always so skillful when it came to cold calls. Truth is ...

I used to stink at cold calling. I was terrified of it. But I had to find a way to succeed at cold calling because I was desperate.

The Temp Job That Forced Me Into Cold Calling

Almost a decade ago, I was laid off. A friend suggested that I work as a temporary employee to tide me over until I could figure out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.

I resisted her suggestion. My pride screamed, "I'm better than this. My background demands more." But once I got my ego out of the way, I realized that her suggestion was a good one. So I ended up taking a temporary position that would give rise to one of my greatest passions: cold calling.

You see, my assignment was cold calling executives to schedule appointments for my company's salespeople.

The job beat me up at first. I dealt with a lot of rejection. But I relentlessly tested my cold calling methods. Determined to figure out precisely what wasn't working ... and what was.

My efforts soon paid off. The sales people I scheduled appointments for were closing multi-million-dollar contracts. As word spread, demand for my cold calling services grew.

Before long, a multimillionaire I had been temping for presented a challenge to implement a new sales strategy. He figured this single strategy was powerful enough to move his company from multi-millions to billions in sales.

He was right.

The strategic idea?

Change the "point of entry" of sales calls. Stop calling low. Start calling high.

Because he had decided that no more of his sales pros were going to get "beat up" by low-level decision-makers. No more of his sales pros were going to waste one more second with folks who didn't have the authority to say yes in the first place. No more endless committee meetings for his people. No siree.

He said, "Starting today a 'sales call' doesn't count as a 'sales call' unless it's made at the senior executive-level. We're going straight for the top!"

The millions upon millions of dollars he'd raked in let me know his ideas had great value. Still, I had to raise the inevitable "but ...."

"Seems like a good idea ... but ... every sales pro knows to call senior level decision-makers. They don't call high because no one tells 'em how to get in."

That rich guy nodded, smiled and reeled me in hook, line, and sinker. "That's your job. Figure out how to get in."

My brain quipped, "Yeah, right." But like any good sales pro I nodded, smiled, and calmly said, "Sure thing."

Two years and $140,000 of my services later the Cold Calling Success System was born. It's the only proven system for cold calling executives ... and  winning a sales appointment with a multi-million-dollar decision-maker within the critical 90-second window, before your prospect hangs up on you.

Using this approach for cold calling executives we grew our business 22% last year.

But more importantly, because of the relationships and the kinds of customers it brought us, we grew our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) by 45%.

We've also found that with the right relationship at the right level, a bump in the road isn't an earthquake. At a lower level, a bump in the road can be a major problem."

  • Spend more time selling. Because you're booking more appointments in fewer calls, you'll spend less time on the phone ... and more time face-to-face with your prospects.
  • Turn "No" into "Yes" in almost any situation. You'll discover how to identify the real reason customers object to scheduling a meeting with you ... and how to skillfully steer the conversation back to your goal: making a sales appointment.
Gained Access to Executives on 100% of the Calls

Discover How to 
Easily Deflect and Overcome Objections

The Cold Calling Success System breaks the process of cold calling executives into small, easy to complete action steps. So you start making changes - and seeing results - immediately.

For instance, one of the immediately applicable skills you'll learn is how to easily, confidently, and consistently overcome the most common objections you hear from prospects.

Objections like:

  • "We are happy with the long-term relationships we have with our current vendors."
  • "We are under exclusive contract with one of your competitors for the next year."
  • "We are moving away from using your services."
  • "I'm way too busy right now. Call me back in a couple of months."
  • "We've reorganized. He has no time. He'll have to get back to you. On second thought, you really should talk with the receptionist in personnel who handles people like you."
  • "Is this a sales call?"
  • "Why should I see you?"

Whew ... you can almost feel your heart start to pound and your mind go blank just looking at those objections, can't you?

The Cold Calling Success System shows you how most salespeople react to these objections. Explains why the "standard" responses are the kiss of death for your call. And then spoon feeds you phrases you can use to maintain control of the call and accomplish your goal—scheduling an appointment with the top decision-maker.

“Helped me generate a positive, ‘ear catching’ telephone statement.”

"The Secrets Book and Instant Objection Overturns sales tools helped me generate a positive, 'ear catching,' concise, appointment-getting telephone statement."

Is This System Right For You?

The Cold Calling Success System is ideal for anyone who wants more face time with multi-million-dollar decision-makers and other top executives.

According to current users of the Cold Calling Success System, here are some of the "red flags" that you should look for in your life. If one or more of these statements sound like you, the Cold Calling Success System would be a smart investment.

Does This Sound Like You?

  • "I know I could close bigger sales ... if I could just get in front of the decision-makers who control the purse strings."
  • "Having my fingernails pulled out one by one is starting to sound like fun compared to cold calling. But I'm resigned to wasting my time on the phone."
  • "I'm tired of fumbling for words when prospects toss objections out. I never seem to have a good comeback."
  • "Every time I make a cold call, I try to come up with a new opening line. I just haven't found the one that works."
  • "I know that I offer value. But I can't get the executive assistants to understand why I should be allowed to see the Top Dogs."
  • "I sell great in face-to-face situations. But I can't seem to sell over the phone ... and I'm ready to pull my hair out."
  • "I'm a pretty confident person. But the rejection I get when making cold calls is starting to wear me down."
  • "I'm beginning to think the executive assistants are right—I really don't belong in the executive suite."

Or how about these "wishes"?

  • I want to know what I'm supposed to do when I get stuck in "voice mail hell." What should I say so that prospects return my call?
  • I wanted proven ways to quickly move to—or directly contact—the top decision makers ... without damaging the relationships I've built with my lower-ranking contacts.
  • I'm looking for fresh, new, and proven ideas for reaching company presidents and other top decision makers that I can implement quickly.
  • I'm new to sales and want to improve my cold calling skills ... so I can get executives to quickly recognize the value of my service.
  • I want to sell over the phone more effectively, on all types of calls—inbound and outbound calls ... business-to-business and business-to-consumer calls ... calls to small businesses and calls to large companies ... cold calling prospects and calling existing customers.
  • I need proven ways to build my business and my sales team ... including getting better at cold calling executives.
  • I'd like to be more confident when approaching C-level executives ... and keep my name in front of them without becoming annoying.
  • I want to differentiate myself ... and demonstrate why my service is better than the competitors.

If you agreed that one or more of those statements would apply to you, the Cold Calling Success System can help.

Bonus for 
Salespeople in the IT & Staffing Industry

I originally developed the Cold Calling Success System when consulting for a client in the IT & Staffing Industry.

The scenarios and scripts used throughout the main learning guide use real-life examples plucked directly from my training sessions with this company (with the client's approval and blessing, of course).

Because the examples are directly related to what you do, you'll be ready to use this information almost instantly if you're selling in one of the following industries:

  • IT staffing
  • Outsourcing
  • Permanent staffing
  • Temporary staffing
  • Managed services
  • Healthcare staffing

If you're not involved in one of these industries, don't worry. The Cold Calling Success System can be used to secure appointments with decision makers at all levels. And in any industry.

In fact, about 40% of current Cold Calling Success System users are outside of the staffing industry. The program is currently being used by professionals in the financial services, succession planning, business-to-business insurance sales, business-to-consumer insurance sales, HR outsourcing, professional employer organizations, and even water sales!

You'll still benefit by using the process. You'll just need to do a little bit more work by taking the examples I provide and rewriting them to suit your service and industry.

How Much Are the Keys to 
The Executive Suite Worth to You?

When you invest in the Cold Calling Success System, you'll discover a step-by-step process that's been consistently proven to work in cold calling executives and scheduling sales appointments.

Mastering this process is like being handed the keys to the executive suite. Within the critical first 90 seconds of your cold call, you'll have executive assistants eagerly searching for a place on the calendar so you can meet the top executives face-to-face.

What's it worth to you to have that kind of access to key decision makers?

What's it worth to you to be spoon-fed the responses you should use to instantly overcome your prospects' objections? So that no matter what, you get an appointment.

What's it worth to you to easily master the skills that will make you a cold calling genius? So you actually look forward to - and enjoy - making your cold calls?

As you think about these questions, let me share two facts with you:

Fact #1: To hire a sales consultant to prepare a similar program for you from scratch, you'll spend at least $5,000. (For instance, clients pay me $5,500 for a sales consultation. Plus another $5,000 to have me create a customized scripts and responses to overcome their most common objections from scratch.)
   
Fact #2: You can develop your own script and responses to overcome prospects' objections from scratch ... IF you have time, patience and persistence. I personally invested more than two years and $140,000 to develop, test and fine-tune this process. If you put your mind to it, you can probably develop your own system, too. (But wait a minute ... wouldn't you have done it already if you knew how?)

So ... in terms of direct development expenses alone, this system is worth $140,000.

But of course you won't be investing $140,000 to get your hands on a copy of the Cold Calling Success System.

Or $10,500. Or even $5,000.

Instead, you'll invest just $297 for the entire program.

That's about what you would pay for a couple of client lunches. And probably far less than it costs for you to spend time twiddling your thumbs during endless committee meetings with low-level, non-decision-makers. If this program saves you at least one wasted sales meeting by putting you directly in touch with the top decision-maker, you'll instantly recoup your investment.

Plus you'll also receive the bonus gift package valued at $978. Click here to reserve your copy.

“The Overturn to Just One Objection Is Worth The Program’s Price”

"This sales system is very powerful, very well done. You could have sold me the overturn to just one objection for the price of the whole program - each answer is that valuable! I don't see how any sales professional could possibly say, 'no' to this cold calling System—it's a much needed, credible approach to getting to the top decision-makers."

Why I'm Practically Giving This System Away

Why would I allow you to have these profit generating secrets for such a modest investment?

Simple.

I Want YOU to Succeed and 
Tell Your Friends and Colleagues About 
Your Incredible Find!

About now you're asking yourself...

"Can this sales system really increase my business by 50% for several consecutive years like they did for Judy Fontenot with one phone call?"

"Can these tactics really give me access to multi-million-dollar contracts like they did for Gene Meskill?"

"Can the 'System' really increase my sales revenues by 20% like it did for Manny Penate?

Or get me in with 100% of people who previously said, "No," like with Jeff Farrah?"

Maybe. Maybe not.

But, one thing IS certain, the Cold Calling Success System has done it in so many proven documented cases that have been recognized by the press, heads of industry, and by everybody else that you've got nothing ... zip ... nada to lose. You owe it to yourself to at least see what impact this system could make for you.

At the very least ... if all you got was a 10 or 20% increase in face-to-face time with THE decision-makers ... that could be thousands of dollars ... that could be dozens more meetings with real decision makers ... and significantly more buyers.

I've designed the Cold Calling Success System to make you more money than this sales tool costs you. All you have to do is act on the information. If you do your part ... the results will delight you. And dramatically exceed your expectations.

I've been down this road. And I can say with a spine tingling sense of excitement that I have more factually based hope for you than you may have for yourself.

But you don't have to take my word for it. See what your peers are saying.

Closed 87.5% More High-Level Appointments

“Les, we’re growing rapidly, but have had no luck with getting to 'Top Dogs' and closing large accounts. I was excited, inspired really by your materials when I saw them on the web. I got your stuff and shared it with my staff. Erica, one of our researchers, went from scheduling an average of 8 appointments per week to scheduling 15 high level appointments last week and 13 so far this week (it’s Wednesday) all from reading your book, listening to the tapes of Executives and their Assistants and using the right words! And these are all good qualified appointments.”

 Todd Bavol-Montgomery
Owner, Integrity Staffing

Landed an Appointment With Industry Top Dog

“Admittedly I was skeptical ... that is until I used this system to reach and schedule an appointment with the president of Novartis Pharmaceutical, one of the largest players in the industry.”

 Ralph Cetrulo
Parsippany, NJ

Closed Out 11 Vendors for a Multi-Million-Dollar Contract

“I’ve been in sales a long time and was determined to get in to see a major prospect. My team had been pursuing this company for several months, when I heard about these methods and decided to try them—I had tried everything else and had nothing to lose. The results? These methods opened the door for my team to close out 11 other vendors and walk out with a multi-million dollar contract. Now, they are an integral part of every prospecting call.”

 Gene Meskill
New York, NY

Sold on the First Call … Rather Than 4-8 Weeks

"This information took me through the process of reconstructing my telephone presentation. As a result, I rephrased my opening line.  I reframed what I was asking for and asked about setting up an appointment to see whether or not I could reduce my prospect's drinking water expenses by 25%. Then, I created two solid appointments – one of which I visited and sold on the first call. All-in-all I found this to be a streamlined system that really shortened the time spent between opening and closing a sale. This selling on the first call I could get very used to. Most of our sales take 4-8 weeks!"

 Aron Wallad
Oakland, NJ

 
“Makes My Prospecting Calls Pay Off – BIG”

"Out of stubbornness I kept trying to improve my scripts. In spite of the fact that with your words incorporated into my scripts my closing ratio was far better than when I went with my own words. The bonuses are more than icing on the cake—they gave me what I needed to make my prospecting calls sales pay off—BIG."

 Ford Saeks, President
Prime Concepts Group


Opened a $13-Million Door

This move catapulted Norrell forward in the industry and can work the same way for you and your company. Leslie Buterin’s sales system answers dozens of questions asked by sales professionals. Her methods opened many doors including one for Norrell’s $13-million account with a major client.
