Every prospect has an information threshold. If you pile on the information or give more brochures than he or she can handle, the prospect will end up not reading anything. There is no sure way to determine just how much is too much.
But here’s a trick used by direct response people that can help you. When leaving literature, attach cover letter explaining what is attached and offer to come by and explain the product and service in greater detail. You can also flag the most important pages and highlight sections.
Prospects are most likely to read a short letter addressed to them than they are to wade through mountains of sales literature. And once they’ve read your letter, you’ve got their attention. Chances are, if they can use your product, when you call to follow up, you’ll get a warm reception.
