Both are worth their weight in gold
Lead Generation is just THAT. Names on paper or a computer screen.I’m certain that they will get an email.
Prospecting
What is the differences in Lead Generation and Prospecting?
Prospecting is the ability to speakwith someone who may or may nothave a need.Prospecting takes opportunities andmakes them customers or Not.
I’m not asking you to start a funnel system but I will be using it while we discuss prospecting.
For those who have never been introduced to the funnel system along with sales, I will explain.
Prospecting
Keep the last 2 points in mind but I need a few minutes on Funnel generation and development.
Very simple - you put opportunities in the top and revenue comes out the bottom.
My problem with this is that bad opportunities are sometimes lost in the funnel.
I want to get those out as fast as the revenue so I can reload.

It is a proven fact that nobody likes prospecting.
That’s why many wait for the phone to ring, yet it doesn’t.

To set the stage I am pretending thatI am a company that sells to medical,Dental, and accounting firms within 75Miles of my office.
I own a 5 person company with my partner, and we are very diverse yet have a loyal client base. We are spread too thin yet can handle new clients.
Prospecting
The stage is set.
We do very little, if any, prospecting.

Famous Quotes
Sales are contingent upon the attitude of the salesman, not the attitude of the prospect.
William Clement Stone
If the contact says that it will be handled by the Doctor, ask to speak with him or make an appointment then.
If all goes well, have someone from your office contact them regarding your solution.
Keep in mind that they can make a decision fast – yes or no.
Prospecting
The Project – The Calls
Other things to do: If the call goes bad, or there is no need for your service, save that name somewhere so you do not call again. Continue your prospecting.
Remember the funnel. You now have names going in, and if there is no need, they are going out.
Prospecting
The Project – The Calls
Keep in mind that references and testimonials will always assist in moving from a prospect to a customer.
If you have a live opportunity – call 2-3 times a week while it is hot.
Come-on! Everyone can carve out 15 minutes a day for prospecting.
