Transcript<\/h3>\n

Scott Ingram: You\u2019re listening to the Daily Sales Tips podcast and I\u2019m your host, Scott Ingram. Today\u2019s tip comes from Nick Cegelski. Nick is a Senior Account Executive and the host of the 30 Minutes to President\u2019s Club podcast. Here he is:<\/p>\n

Nick Cegelski: Okay, I’ve got a tip today for how to respond to the email that says “Not interested” when you’re prospecting. I always give the same response and I actually have this saved as a template in outlook. When I respond to that I say,\u201d Scott, thank you so much for your response. Was it just bad timing on my end or was it a different reason? I don’t want to unnecessarily follow up if it’s a bad fit. Thank you Nick.\u201c Now the reason that I do this is it actually asks your prospect to give you a reason for why you should not talk and what that asks them to do is go back and look at your value proposition for why you reached out. One of two things should happen here. You either get a concrete reason or objection, why you shouldn’t speak, and you can either address that objection or move on to a prospect who’s actually a better fit for you. But frequently I get people who say,\u201d Oh, I just reread your email. We actually are struggling with that. Let’s set up a time to talk.\u201d Easy tip. I use it every time.<\/p>\n

Scott Ingram: To connect with Nick on LinkedIn and for a link to the 30 Minutes to President\u2019s Club Podcast<\/a>, just click over to\u00a0DailySales.Tips\/981<\/a>\u00a0and you\u2019ll find everything you need there.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve done that be sure to come back tomorrow for another great sales tip. Thanks for listening!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
