What % of new business that phone you do you close?

[Bob Foster]

Well tell us how good you are on the phone and how great your reputation is.

Better yet tell us how you get the booking (and can Ron Werner and Harper use the same lines to pick up the ladies).

 

[Brian R]

Do I really have to respond. You know how I roll. 8)

While on the phone I have customers asking me to marry them and to be the God Father of their children. :roll:




Edit: Ok, when I used to answer the phone...thanks Full Circle..
They probably do a little better then me.

 

[Royal Man]

Over 95%

Don't really have to close them.

I just say "While we are on the phone when can I help you out?"

Most rarely even want a price.


It's too easy!

[dealtimeman]

i chose th 50 percent, but that is not right i usaully close 85 - 100 percent as most the calls are po's for companies we have contracts with.

 

[XTREME1]

where is the 95-100%

They don't call unless they want me.

Unlisted phone number, no advertising at all (except website) no seo no nothing. They want me they find me

Really. I have no web site, my listings on the internet are all forked up because of Rainbow International usurping the Rainbow names across the country, but customers find me and call and I'm booked solid for two weeks out normally. A lot of times, if they can't get me, they just don't have it done. I'm just one little guy. I can't serve everyone in the market.

 

[tmdry]

99%

 

[Guest]

The girls at Full Circle are killing it for me as well. I get compliments on my staff

 

[BLewis]

About 95%. I only hear about it when a call isn't closed. 3-5% are price shoppers and we don't really push the issue.

 

[Doug Cox]

The guy can't help himself. Just answer the flippin question Goober.

 

[Able 1]

95% here but I just think that proves my prices are too low.. I think if I was around 75-80% I would be where I would like to be as far as price and jobs booked.

 

[tmdry]

Once I go with FC, it will be 99.99 to 100%

 

[Brian R]

Once I go with FC, it will be 99.99 to 100%

I concur

 

[SMRBAP]

They have to pay a small fee to even fill out the questionairre shiteatinggrin

 

[idreadnought]

Well I still havn't convinced people to pay to talk to me yet. I answered 50% only because I feel thats the number I land from random people calling me out of the damn yellow pages. This doesn't include repeat work or referal work that is guarnteed.

 

[Curtis Pennington]

We close 8 outta 10 calls so I would say 80%...this includes shoppers...

 

[XTREME1]

If someone took the time to call and talk to you it is your job to make the stop calling other people
