Pacing and Leading was a technique I had been taught by a Training Consultant, Ken Kingstad.
Do any of you use this technique which focuses on investing some into the phone call before asking for anything?
Example:
"I'm afraid of what my credit looks like"
"(Pace)I understand where you're coming from
(Pace) With the economy these days, everyones credit has taken a hit, especially my own.
(LEAD) You know what? Let me do this for you....how about we go ahead and get you with our Special Finance Director that way he can give you the special attention you need and deserve."
So, in essence, you're complimenting, stroking the ego a bit, and then asking for something.
Do any of you use this, and if so, how's it working for you?
