Sing with me!
"I'm gonna knock on your door, ring on your bell, tap on your window too!"
If you grew up in 80's Philippines, you might also have a 25-year LSS (last song syndrome) from that TV ad featuring a borderline-stalker sales guy, perhaps in the commercial breaks of Voltes V.
And perhaps, like me, you had the wrong idea of what a sales person does because of those hypnotic lyrics.
This is an embarrassing confession, but when I started sales for Leadfunnel.ph, this is exactly what I did:
One more time!
"I'm gonna knock on your door, ring on your bell, tap on your window too!"
If you were one of the businesses I visited, please understand that I was just an engineer with a lot of hustle but with zero sales training and experience.
Fortunately, I was selling to heads of sales/marketing and CEOs of sales-driven corporations. After talking to hundreds of you, I wisened up a bit. I'm singing a new song now:
That's probably not going to be a hit song. But it surely worked better than...
Okay now, everyone, karaoke time!

Fortunately, I was selling to heads of sales/marketing and CEOs of sales-driven corporations. After talking to hundreds of you, I wisened up a bit. I'm singing a new song now:
- I'm gonna understand as much as I can about your business even before contacting you.
- Then I'll politely introduce myself, and win your interest enough to spend some time talking more with me.
- I will then understand what's important to you, as a business and as a professional.
- If we could solve a problem or create value for you, I'll try to show you this. And perhaps even drop by your office, at your convenience.
- If there is no fit, I will waste no more of your time, and be grateful for the opportunity you have given me. If I know someone who could solve your problems or help you succeed more, I'll connect you to each other.
- I will talk in your language, explain our offering from your perspective, adjust to your purchasing process.
- If you do give us a chance, I will make sure you are satisfied - ROI for your company and 1-ups for your career - month after month.
