So many prospects and clients to kill, so little time. But don't worry. Salespeople all over the world are doing their damnedest to kill as many prospects and clients as possible each day. Their weapon of choice? Communication — or more specifically, communication fraud.
I suspect you're like me and you get dozens of emails, phone calls, snail mail letters and even face-to-face meetings with sellers who seem to have only one goal: waste as much of your time as possible. They email or call wanting to know if I'm doing OK or if I need anything or if they can show me a new product or service without the slightest idea whether I want or need it. Some call just to let me know they're still around and want my business.
Some of these intrepid sellers have bombarded me with so much time-wasting, junk communication that they've taught me to completely ignore them. When I get an email, letter or voicemail message from them, I know I need pay absolutely no attention to them. Their time-wasting communications have completely killed me off as a prospect. And, worse, some have even killed me off as a client because of their insistence on trying to waste my time.
Most sellers work hard to find and connect with quality prospects and then to win them as clients. Why in the world would they then commit prospect or client genocide?
