How to Make Telephone Appointments

(A one-day programme)

This programme is ideal for personnel who wish to up-grade their existing appointment-making skills. The programme is skills based, practical and adapted to suit the requirements of each delegate. Role-plays and role-modeling exercises concentrate on situations expected to be encountered when using the telephone assertively to make appointments with prospects. Examples of effective answers to objections utilising the specific products or services of delegates are incorporated. The objective of the training is to prepare delegates to be able to use the practical communication skills in the work environment even when working under pressure and also to assist delegates to understand that success in telemarketing requires planning, practice and a willingness to face challenges
