    90 Day Cold Calling Challenge

    EXECUTION

    Day 37 Summary Dials: 20 Reached: 6 (30%) Leads: 2 (33%) Prospects: 0 (0%) Today was one of the low motivation days to call, but this challenge keeps me pushing and I just finished yet another session. One important thing when you cold call is to have a goal in mind. For a large time my goal...

Basically, the gist of all those conversations is that all 3 were quite interested in a new site and all 3 said they really liked what i had already done but they don't want to...

    Day 34 Summary Dials: 20 Reached: 5 (25%) Leads: 1 (20%) Prospects: 1 (100%) As per yesterday, I am trying to hit the pain points early on in the conversation and not "wait" for the follow calls to do so. On one call, it seemed like it was working but when the guy was about to give me his...

    Day 33 Summary Dials: 20 Reached: 5 (25%) Leads: 1 (20%) Prospects: 0 (0%) The reach rate wasn't great today, and a lot of companies have been bust apparently but I guess that's what you get for calling of the Yellow pages. So as many people have already mentioned, I need to build up the pain...

    EXECUTION 
    I try to schedule the calls with them but they always say they are working all day and they don't know when they will be free. I know that it's mostly BS and I just haven't gotten their interest. Actually it's me who suggests that I will send them an email because I want them to see some of my...

    Right now I am building a site for someone who has a Facebook group of over 24K members and he seems like a pretty big authority. But yes, I am definitely aware cold calling is not the most effective way of getting big clients, so when I finish this project I will be looking to switch up my methods.

    EXECUTION 
    I completely agree - it's just that I find it easier not having to deal with gatekeepers and chasing the decision-maker all the time. In the past I called beauty salons and 90% of time I wouldn't catch the owner. I know that calling a small business I wont be able to get a big number but I...
