GET IN THEIR PHONE
One way to make sure they have your number and you no longer come up as a stranger is to get in their cell phone. Most seniors, especially younger ones (65-70 years old) have phones, and most of those being smart phones. During the appointment, make sure your clients and prospects program your number into their phone so they know when you call, it’s not a random solicitation or stranger.
TEXTING
Check with your clients and prospects if texting is a viable form of communication with them. You may be surprised how many are texting friends and family. After all, this is one of the easiest ways for families to send photos of kids, animals, and other fun things.
SHOULD YOU GIVE OUT YOUR CELL PHONE NUMBER?
Yes! In the days of old, when cell phone plans were limited in data and usage, cell phone numbers were privileged information and given out sparingly. However, now with unlimited plans and phone being attached to our hips, they are commonplace in business. Plus, it gives you the ability to text your clients and prospects.
