Cold Call Telemarketing Tracking Sheet

Cold Call Telemarketing Tracking SheetCold Call Telemarketing Tracking SheetCold calling can be hard enough, but accurately keeping track of those phone calls can be a headache, too. Yet your success as a salesperson depends on it. The Purpose of Keeping a Tracking Sheet The idea behind a tracking sheet is to give you a way to easily manage your cold calling. Prospecting is the first stage in the sales process, so if you dont do enough cold calling or if your cold calls arent effective, your entire pipeline will suffer. Print out a copy of your cold call tracking sheet every day and write the date at the top of the sheet. Heres an example of what you should be working with. Date _____________ Start Time _____________ End Time _____________ Dials ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 10? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 20? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 30? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 40? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 50? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 60? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 70? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 80? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 90? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 100 Total Dials __________ Decision Makers ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 10? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 20? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 30? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 40? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 50? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 60? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 70? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 80? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 90? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 100 Total Decision Makers __________ Appointments ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 10? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 20? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 30? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 40? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 50? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 60? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 70? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 80? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 90? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - 100 Total Appointments __________ Total number of decision maker contacts divided by total number of appointments __________% How to Manage the Sheet As the day goes on and you complete each cold call, put a check or an X in the next open checkbox in the first section. Mark off a box in the second section each time you speak with a decision maker. Mark off a box in the third section each time you set an appointment. The number at the end of each row is a reminder of how many youve achieved in total so far. Add up the numbers for each section at the end of the day and write them in the space at the bottom of that section. This will help you keep track of the percentage of calls youre able to transition to appointments. If the percentage is very low, you might need to work on your cold calling strategy, perhaps by revising your phone script or writing a new opener. If the percentage is high but youre still not getting enough sales, simply upping the number of cold calls you make could resolve the problem. Keep copies of your tracking sheets in a binder or folder for future reference. If you change cold calling scripts or otherwise make a major change to your approach, write a note to that effect on the sheet, or attach a sticky note summarizing the information. This will help you compare your results before and after making the changes so you can see if theyre really helping you. How Long You Shou ld Keep Them At a minimum, youll want to hang onto your tracking sheets at least until the quota period ends. But it may be a good idea to keep them even longer. You might find it interesting to compare your results from this time last year to this year, for example. What changed? What did you do differently? Those notations and sticky notes you attached should help you remember, and remembering means refining your cold calling technique even more.

Email plugin Crystal uses data to give advice on work emails

Email plugin Crystal uses data to give advice on work emailsEmail plugin Crystal uses data to give advice on work emailsAs part of technology startups never-ending quest to automate all of our messy, personal interactions, there are now artificially-intelligent plugins promising to advise us on how to write better emails to our colleagues. Does your colleague need long, winding intros before you ask that favor - or do they prefer you to get straight to the point?First developed in 2014, and gaining wider attention now, Crystal is an application that can integrate with your calendar, LinkedIn, and inbox. It promises to have data-driven answers to behauptung kinds of murky questions. On its website, it says it analyzes public data to tell you how you can expect any given person to behave, how he or she wants to be spoken to, and perhaps more importantly, what you can expect your relationship to be like.Once youve allowed it look at your email messages and contacts, you let Crystals pr oprietary personality detection technology become part-nosy detective, part-grammar teacher to look up your public content, writing style, and sentence structures, and make judgments about what you like.Trying it outThe best way to test Crystals claims, I decided, would be to test it on myself. With some trepidation for what it would reveal, I signed up with my work email and let Crystals algorithms into my life.Culling through every public social media deutsche post dhl it could find, articles and blog posts Ive written, and the DISC Personality Assessment I took, Crystals algorithm sorted me intoone of 64 communication types adapted from personality frameworks. Crystals dossier judged that I was very social, compassionate, trustworthy and I wanteda stable environment (avoiding confrontation if possible).Although these assessments made me sound like a shelter dog looking for my forever home, they were notlage wrong. I wondered which tweet or personal blog post gave me away. I am in deed relationship-oriented, and if someone wants me to respond quickly in an email for career advice, its best to leverage interests and relationships we have in common.Crystals pro-tips for people who want to have successful emails interactions with me?Point out personal connections like common friends or interestsUse a sentence to express appreciation for her timeAdd non-essential but friendly lines like hope youre doing wellAll of these statements were true, but I was unsettled to see these interpersonal cues broken down so mechanically and transactionally.How many people using Crystal were writing non-essential lines to throw me a bone in my daily interactions?Pretty good, not perfectCrystals judgment wasnt completely right. I am definitely not a natural planner, but then again - like astrology - Crystal doesnt present its advice as hard facts. Even in its disclaimer, Crystal notes that its judgments are intended more as a guide than a factual answer Statements in the personal ity profile are not intended to be factual- they are a combination of estimated personality insights intended to provide a best guess about a persons preferred communication style.If you fork over money for a paid Crystal subscription, you can use its Email Coach extension. Through this feature, you get more concrete, real-time advice on how to draft emails to contacts as it looks up publicly available data on them to give you the best research on how to reply to them.With generational and cultural differences at play in the workplace, employees are right to worry about having their tone and meaning misunderstood in communications. There are office etiquette guides to Slack and real-time spellcheck plug-ins dedicated to helping anxious workers present their best, curated self at work.If writing networking emails to strangers makes you anxious, having Crystal on your side can feel like the boost needed to get your tone right. But as for me, its also a reminder that if you want to kno w who someone is beyond their AI-selected assessment profile and computer-assisted emails, its better to meet them face-to-face.

1 in 5 women say they are only woman in the room at work

1 in 5 women say they are ‘only’ woman in the room at work 1 in 5 women say they are ‘only’ woman in the room at work For too many women at work, they are the only one of their kind at work, a unique species of employee with no others to talk with and learn from.In the latest Women in the Workplace report by LeanIn.Org and McKinsey Co., more than 64,000 employees and 279 companies weighed in on their experiences at work, and for too many, their careers were a story of isolation and stalled progress. One in five women said they were the only woman in the room at work.   This excluding experience became more pronounced for women of color and lesbian women. Forty-five percent of women of color said they were the only person of their race in work situations, and 76% of lesbian women reported being the only one of their sexual orientation.It is too common for women to be ‘only’ oneIdentifying as an “only” had disastrous consequences for women’s careers. Women who were surrounded by men in the office became 1.5 times more likely to consider quitting their job. They also experienced sexual haras sment and microaggressions at a higher rate. When women were “onlies,” they said they needed to provide more evidence of their competence, were more likely to be addressed in a less-than-professional way, and were more likely to have their judgment questioned, compared to women who had other women at work.When you are the only one of your kind in the corner office or on a project, you lack allies and support that can foster your professional development. Studies have found that women keep women in male-dominated industries. To see what you can become, it helps to have someone else like you live through it first.When there is only one woman on a team, the report found that the rest of the workplace is more likely to project all their hopes and anxieties about women onto that one woman. “While they are just one person, they often become a stand-in for all women- their individual successes or failures become a litmus test for what all women are capable of doing. With everyone’s eyes on them, women Onlys can be heavily scrutinized and held to higher standards.” When asked about their experience of being an “only,” the top feeling women reported was a pressure to perform. As one black woman who worked as a mid-level administrator put it,  the pressure to excel can be heavy. “I have to be ‘on’ all the time,” she wrote. “Because in the back of someone’s mind, they could be judging the entire race based on me. And I don’t want anybody else’s opportunity to be ruined because I messed it up. I know that seems really heavy, but that is often how I feel.”Men who were surrounded by women had a more welcoming experience. For men who identified as an “only” on their team, their top takeaway about the experience was feeling included and fortunate to be on the team.The report is an annual snapshot of women’s progress in leadership, and despite the report maintaining urgency for more company investment in women’s careers, progress remains stalled. For Facebook COO and LeanIn.org founder Sheryl Sandberg, this needs to change for any progress to stick: “There is a disconnect in corporate America,” she wrote in a Facebook post about the report. “Year after year, companies report that they are highly committed to gender diversity. But the proportion of women in their organizations barely budges. For this to change, companies need to treat gender diversity like the business imperative it is.”Marie-Claude Nadeau, a partner at McKinsey San Francisco, told Ladders that facilitating more ways for women to collaborate and grow together can be part of the solution. “Senior women are twice as likely to be Onlys. One possible solution is for companies to think about grouping women at senior levels, promoting more women in cohorts rather than focusing on having the one token woman in every promotion or hiring slate,” she said. “At a minimum, companies need to provide opportunities for women to interact at work. Seco nd, employers can foster a culture where it is acceptable, expected and rewarded to interrupt biases and microaggressions when they happen - because we know those are more common for women Onlys.”

Thanks to Amazon, many parents wont name their kids Alexa

Thanks to Amazon, many parents won't name their kids Alexa Thanks to Amazon, many parents won't name their kids Alexa You won’t be having any coworkers called Alexa anytime soon. According to new  Social Security data crunched by  University of Maryland sociology professor Philip Cohen, Alexa became an increasingly unpopular baby name after Amazon released its personal virtual assistant Alexa in 2015.After its release, the popularity of the name dramatically dropped off. Cohen found its popularity dropped by 21.3% in 2016, and another  19.5% last year.After computer Alexa, fewer human AlexasSince Amazon Echo was first released, it has introduced us to  Alexa, the  virtual assistant we can command with a simple, “Alexa, tell me today’s weather.”Ladders is now on SmartNews!Download the SmartNews app and add the Ladders channel to read the latest career news and advice wherever you go.Through Amazon Echo’s smart speaker, we may have learned to think of the name Alexa as one befitting a robot, not a human.The year of Alexa’s debut, 6,050 babies were named Alexa. In 2017, that number has fall en to 3,883.  Maybe, parents don’t want a name that we know can be bossed around?

How to Get Five Stars for Your Next Video Interview Production

How to Get Five Stars for Your Next Video Interview Production How to Get Five Stars for Your Next Video Interview Production 1Although you don’t have a script to follow, there are many things about your video interview that are within your control. You’ll be sure to wow your audience if you follow these tips. Use these tips to ace your next video interview: 1. Show how prepared you are. Your employer is conducting  a video interview with you to save time and perhaps for convenience. Making sure there  arent any technical difficulties will help show that you are respecting your potential  employer’s time and efforts. Here is some behind the scenes work that will ensure success: Be sure your laptop battery is fully charged; otherwise, plug in your laptop. Test your camera and how the video looks by Skyping with someone outside of your home. If you have wireless issues, plug your laptop into your router. Before the interview, reboot your computer so that it’s given a clean slate to work from. Be prepared to share your screen. During the interview, the only application that should be open on your screen is the video feed. If your interviewer asks you to show your screen to share some creative work or coding examples, you don’t want them to see you’ve Googled a question you’ve been asked or any private messages. Give your interview your complete attention by turning off notifications like Facebook or email. 2. Set the stage. Your camera should be at your eye level. When you are talking to the employer, you want it to feel like you’re face-to-face. Would you be looking up or looking down at them if you were sitting at a conference table? When someone is talking to you, look at the screen. You’ll listen better by reading their body language, listening to what they are saying and what they are not saying. If you stare at the camera the whole time, it’ll be challenging to read between the lines. When you answer their question, look into the camera to make eye contact. Next, pay attention to your body language and movement. Look alert and interested by sitting up straight, leaning in slightly, and smiling. Arm or hand movements can make the video choppy, especially if you do not have a high-bandwidth Internet connection. Try to keep body movements to a minimum so your interviewer can pay attention to your words and not a choppy video feed. Before the interview, check that there is a good amount of light shining on you. The more light the better! Place a light right behind the camera aimed at your face or put two lights to the right and left side of your camera and one in the background. 3. Breathe and allow silence to occur. Because you are not face-to-face, it’s sometimes easy to get excited and interrupt the person who is talking. So be mindful of giving the other person time to complete their thought before you share yours. Not only is it rude to interrupt but it also takes a few minutes to get back into the conversation because of the miscommunication and technology. Instead, take a deep belly breath so you aren’t expanding your lungs or raising your shoulders (making it visually evident that you’re taking a deep breath) and wait your turn to talk. 4. Send a thank-you video. Typically you’d send a thank-you email after an interview, but why not keep the show going? After you’ve calmed down from the interview jitters, prepare a thank-you video. This will enable you to show your enthusiasm in a professional manner. Keep the video short and sweet. Thank them for their time, share what excited you about the interview, and express that you’re looking forward to hearing from them. To avoid technical difficulties, upload your video to Google Drive or Dropbox so you don’t have to email the video clip. Some email servers have an attachment size limit that a long video may exceed. When you upload the video, you’ll be able to share its link with your future employer. When you send the video, keep the email extremely short so that they want to click on the link. You can say, “I just wanted to say thank you.” and then insert a hyperlink to your video. Curiosity will get the best of them and they’ll click on the link  right away. A thank-you video gives you another opportunity to, literally, get right in front of them. Youll stand out from the crowd because who doesnt love to watch a video directed to them? Join to Start Applying for Jobs Readers, have you received five stars on a video interview? Share your tips with us in the comments section below!

Socially Conscious Hardware Designs Showcased at ISHOW USA

Socially Conscious Hardware Designs Showcased at ISHOW USA Socially Conscious Hardware Designs Showcased at ISHOW USA Socially Conscious Hardware Designs Showcased at ISHOW USA June 29, 2018 (Left to right) Adriana Lombardi Franco and Félix Escalante Delgado of Team Solar Coffee Roaster pose with their ISHOW trophies alongside fellow ISHOW winners Luis Silva-Velasco from Team NeoVent and Carlos Castro-Gonzalez from Team PointCheck. Eight teams of entrepreneurs presented their hardware-led, socially beneficial inventions in Washington, D.C., earlier this month at the third ASME Innovation Showcase (ISHOW) of the year, ISHOW USA. Three teams two based in the United States and one hailing from Peru were named the grand prize winners of the event, which took place on June 21 at the District Architecture Center. The three winning teams will share $500,000 in cash and in-kind prizes with the winners of the two previous ISHOWS, which were held in Bangalore, India, in April and Nairobi, Kenya, in May. (Left to right) Carlos Castro-Gonzales of Team PointCheck accepts the 3D-printed ISHOW trophy from ISHOW judge Peter Larsen of FormLabs and Paul Scott, director of the ISHOW program. One of the winning teams at ISHOW USA, from the Massachusetts-based company Leuko, is the creator of PointCheck, a non-invasive, portable device that allows for the early detection of low neutrophil levels in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Since chemotherapy can lower neutrophil levels, which inhibits the bodys ability to fight infections, early detection of low neutrophil levels could help thousands of patients being treated with chemotherapy avoid infections. Other systems that detect low neutrophil levels require blood draws and laboratory analyses. For Carlos Castro-Gonzalez, who represented his company Leuko at the competition, being selected as one of the grand prize winners meant recognition and validation. He said: The judges were really experts in their fields. They are people that know how to take hardware products to market, and they have done that several times. And the fact that they recognize that we are on a good track to do so means a lot to us. Castro-Gonzalez went on to say that the teams cash prize would be used to hire a consultant to help the company develop a strategy for working with the FDA, which is an important next step for his team. (Left to right) ASME ISHOW Director Paul Scott, Adriana Lombardi Franco and Félix Escalante Delgado of Team Solar Hybrid Coffee Roaster, and ASME President-Nominee Richard Laudenat, who served as one of the judges at ISHOW USA. Flix Escalanta Delgado and Adriana Lombardi Franco, two representatives from the Lima, Peru-based company Compadre, were also named grand prize winners for their product, the Solar Hybrid Coffee Roaster. Their technology enables small, rural farmers in Peru, who do not have access to electricity and normally sell their coffee beans raw, to roast their own beans using sunlight. Because raw beans are much cheaper than roasted beans, the ability to roast their beans allows these rural farmers to increase their revenue streams and profits. In addition to its economic benefits for farmers, the solar roasting process also promotes organic practices and reduces carbon dioxide output. While conceding that winning the prize money was a boon for her company, Lombardi Franco was also grateful for the opportunity to meet and interact with the ISHOW judges and technical advisors. Other competitions we have participated in were more formal it was just the pitch and then the judges decided on winners, she said. Here, we were really happy that we got to spend time with the judges so they could learn about us, our enterprise, and our company. The two hours we had with the judges was really necessary to explain our company. It was great not to be judged just on a five-minute pitch. Also, the judges and technical advisors gave us feedback right away. Some interesting ideas came out from that judging. Luis Silva-Velasco of Team NeoVent gives his pitch at the ISHOW reception prior to being announced ISHOW USA winner. The third winning team, AIM Tech from Michigan, is the developer of NeoVent, a non-invasive, dual-pressure ventilator for use in rural countries such as Nepal, where as many as 50,000 infants die every year, primarily as a result of respiratory ailments due to infections and premature births. AIM Tech aims to solve that problem with their ventilator, which is easy-to-use, does not require continuous electricity, and can be built for less than $20. Luis Silva-Velasco, who represented AIM Tech at the competition, noted that his team planned to use their share of the prize money to fund more pilot studies and clinical trials and work toward FDA clearance. Silva-Velasco added that receiving input from the judges was a particularly rewarding aspect of the competition. I think the judges identified quite a few things we can improve on, he said. I think we need to change our implementation strategy, to work more on customer needs. The team also needs to build and launch a robust supply chain in order to build the product, Silva-Velasco said. Félix Escalante Delgado and Adriana Lombardi Franco of Team Solar Hybrid Coffee Roaster consult with ISHOW judges on their implementation strategies prior to being announced ISHOW USA winners. ASME President Said Jahanmir commended the three winning teams for their vision and the positive effect their products could have throughout the world. The extraordinary inventions put forward by PointCheck, NeoVent, and Solar Hybrid Coffee Roaster will make it possible for doctors to do more to help their patients and farmers to become more productive, making it possible for families and communities across the world to achieve greater quality of life, he said. Their display of creativity and ingenuity, and that of their peers, fully embodies the spirit of ISHOW and exemplifies the potential of tomorrows engineering problem-solvers and social entrepreneurs.
