Why Talking To Strangers Should Be A Daily Exercise

Cold calling tops the list of the worst jobs ever conceived but talking to strangers is an essential element in any business venture. Simply put unless you're talking to people you don't already know you're business growth is limited.

Satisfied Customers

If you're willing to consider how valuable a paying customer that enjoys your products and services is to business, then half the battle is won. Your attitude toward someone you already do business with should be the same toward strangers.

Especially in a sales oriented environment you teach and train people to speak with others as though they're well respected if not dearly loved relatives.

1. Talk to the older lady like she were your aunt Ethel

2. Talk to the professional in business attire like a successful cousin or friend

3. Address younger people in a more casual manner

Repeat Customers

Before they become repeat customers that have to become customers and unless your initial contact is emotionally memorable they usually won't even talk to you.

We teach business owners who are marketing online the importance of everything above the fold on their web page. Whatever a visitor can absorb in the first 5 seconds determines if they'll scroll down or spend more time.

With the attitude that a complete stranger has been a loyal follower and supporter of your business for years, it's easier to create a more memorable first encounter. That first contact gives them the incentive you need to become fully engaged.

Blind Dates

Very few people feel comfortable on blind dates and even if you do it's hard to overcome the emotional predisposition. That all important first encounter is either a ticking bomb or a dud; and sometimes it's hard to tell which.

Whether a person has walked off the street into your retail store or discovered you online they're the ones going on a blind date. How reassuring can you be in the first few seconds that they have every reason to feel comfortable?

Face to face or over the phone, regardless of your products, your reputation or your brand, you have to sell you first or they'll never hear the rest. If you've ever had an experience where you've been shopping for a long time with no success and finally found someone who not only knew what you were looking for but where to find it, that person is unforgettable.

The Strangers Experience

If you've never done any role playing you really need to ask yourself why. Practice by design makes performers greater.

Why go through your list of call leads without ever having practiced the conversation with another colleague or partner. Why stumble through a pitch until you've rehearsed it several hundred times.

If you agree with me that talking to strangers is essential, and that the initial contact is vital, it should be worth the time and energy to get good at it before you go on stage.
