http://www.aiip. org/AboutAIIP/ aiipethics. htmlMethods:
1) Just ASK- Call up the receptionist and ask I'm trying to locate
your company's sales rep in NJ?90%
of the time it's the
courage/Educe to ASK.
There are so many thing in the world you could fear more than the
fear
of being "judged" by others. SO MOST IMPORTANT and the BEST
WAY - JUST ASK
2)Verify:-Call your target company in
the middle of the
night.Started dialing extensions in the spell by name directory
moved up and down the list and have
names and numbers and you have
dozens or hundreds of people. Verify names with the receptionist and
secure titles Or
just start calling everyone on the list hoping that
you will get someone who will fit your job spec
3)Call Disconnected:
I called this morning and the call got
disconnected or was asked to call back as "it wasn't clear". He/She
must have
called from cell phone?Do you have the number of the
person?
4)Interview: - I was there for a interview 3 days back
forgot the
names of the interviewer' s) and wanted to follow up with a thank you
note or email.
It may work where
they don't or can't keep track of all the hiring
that's going on.
5)Thats My bowl:-Go to the lunch restaurants and
shops surrounding
the target companies.Talk to the manager and propose that you be
allowed to place a `drop in your
business card to win a free lunch'
fish bowl on the counter top next to the register- Should this be
included in getting
past GK? and don't big co's have cafeteria?
6)Lost Card:-The card my manager was given has got lost and he's
sure
he'd recognize the name
7)Oldest Routine?:-I' m sending out some information. ..can I verify
the spelling...title,
etc." This has worked
7)2nd Oldest Routine?:-"I' m formatting a mailing list and I was
wondering if you could help
me..."
8)I am you:- I am a Customer or employee of your target and I need
to contact....
9)Lost:-I am working
for the target co in and travelling(Off the
plane)and lost, at a pay phone. You need the names of all the
engineers
at the HQ to help you with your work.
9)Calling the wrong Dept:- Oh Did I called Accounting I was supposed
to call
Sales.
10)Listen:-Many times let them do the talking and navigate the call
to your advantage
11)Next Extension
- I know "xyz" sits at extension 201 whom do you
think sits at ext 202?
12)Then you have so many like - I met at
a Party, wedding or Coffee
Shop o.. It never ends.
