    Man Dedicating Himself To Business

    INTRO 
    Thought I'd post an update. I did 3-4k cold calls over that Summer. I got 0 clients. A few appointments, but gradually less and less to the point of that also being 0. Then I made a few more in October and got a client. But I couldn't deliver the service for them so I refunded them their money...

    I'd probably have to leverage SEO, and build high-converting funnels. To get the business to spend money, even more money should be made for them. Getting the word out somehow might be needed.

    Call to meeting is maybe 1-2%, call to closing is around 50-70% I'd assume, since my service is free right now, yet some of my prospects said no at first, but I'd be showing them the service anyway and mainly practicing. So free is helping, but some prospects don't want a site in the first place.

    Basically finished the language school and portfolio client websites. Did 150 cold calls in the last 3 days. Finding leads in advance is a must-have for doing more than 10 cold calls per hour. Got a meeting next week even though they don't want a website. Convinced them to get on a call anyhow...

    I have not been conducting outreach because I've spent the last few weeks working on this client website. It involves people booking live lessons, then getting an email with the Zoom link. Needless to say, it was an arduous process with many steps and complications. Nonetheless, it's pretty...

    It's way more effective than email and messaging, which people instinctively ignore. It also makes you extremely uncomfortable, which is a good thing, because you're getting better at talking. Sales, objection handling, the ability to take rejection over and over..the cumulative effects of cold...

    I'll be sure to take a look at that.

    Yes, to both of your first questions. I have made several adjustments to my cold call scripts. Initially I used the "I have something to offer, hang up now or give me 40 seconds" method, now I use "I got something to sell, would now be a good time to talk for 40 seconds." Irish culture prefers...

    Did 5 cold calls today. Had to do a 1.5 hour job for an LMS client (not from cold calling), then spent the next 3.5 doing assigned online training for a hotel job. Will do another call on a potential qualifier later on today. I worked 13 hours yesterday. (not consistently plausible for a...

    Cold called 2 hours today. Not doing anymore because I need high energy levels for my first day at a hotel job (unrelated). Switched from websites to “eCommerce stores.” People were generally more open to the idea of a tangible online store that will actually get them money, rather than just a...

    Just cold called for 4 hours, basically nonstop. Got in around 30-40. My thoughts? Tiring. Not looking forward to going back to it on Monday, but not dreading it either.

    Cold calling, for me, has been a great way to gain confidence and become a good talker. But maybe you’re right, outreach methods aren’t my speciality. It’s better than emailing. What do you suggest? I haven’t earned the right to hire anyone lmao. Haven’t earned a penny in my life yet. Down the...

    Well, I'll do that for each 3+ hour session (as each individual call only takes a few minutes, and posting for each one would slow down the process). Thanks for the quick reply.

    My bad, didn't see this. Web development. Built a free WordPress LMS for a client, doing four more free projects until I begin to get paid. Started cold calling 10 people per day 2 weeks ago. Getting the hang of it. I'll do it for 3+ hours straight tomorrow and on each subsequent week day. If...

    Hi, it's Michael. I'm doing a maths degree in college, and don't want a depressing finance job. The rather difficult experiences I have went through in life are worth more than working in a corporate-serving, "fulfilling" finance career. I believe myself to be a disciplined, spiritual, fair...
