    90 Day Cold Calling Challenge

    EXECUTION 
    Zero sales, but I have about 2-6 medium prospects that have expressed interest and I am chasing them around. Today I had a call with a lady, she said she liked my previous work, she didn't like her current site but she said she was too busy now and didn't want to pull the trigger now, so said...

    Hey Dan, thanks for your honest feedback. Right now I haven't made any sales, but I am actually accumulating some interested prospects. But I could be reaching out to better prospects! Do you have any tips on how to prepare better lists without overspending too much time? Use Google instead of...

    Day 17 Summary Dials: 40 Reached: 9 (22.50%) Leads: 1 (12.50%) Before starting the calls today, I wrote above my script "The sales starts with a NO" in order to mentally prepare myself for the initial sales resistance. It seemed to help because I was expecting it and was able to continue the...

    Day 16 Summary Dials: 40 Reached: 9 (22.5%) Leads: 0 (0%) Do you remember when I said that the call anxiety was pretty much gone? Well, it came back :smile: Because of it, I wasn't very confident on the phone and gave up too early after the first "No(s)" I have realized that a big part of...

    Day 15 Summary Dials: 25 Reached: 7 (28%) Leads: 2 (0%) Okay, so after travelling back to UK for 2 months, I am back at it. First thing I want to say is that after 3 weeks straight cold calling, the call anxiety is almost gone. Even though it is a good thing, it has one negative - right now I...

    Thanks for your support! I am glad it inspired you :-) On Sundays I just want to take a break in general but yes, I could be calling on weekends! I actually didn't know that it stems from AA, I just came up with it randomly because I thought 3 months is long enough to get something going.

    Big update: Today a lead turned into the first real prospect!!! So just got of a phone with one of the people I spoke today - he seemed quite interested. He also seemed like a very good prospect since he spoke more about what he wants out of the site (more exposure, better quality leads)...

    Day 13 & Day 14 Summary Dials: 40 Reached: 13 (32.50%) Leads: 4 (13%) Prospects: 0 (0%) Since I am travelling tomorrow the whole day and cannot make calls, I decided to make calls for both of the days today. It was a great challenge as it was the first time I did 40 dials. I remember last...

    Day 12 Summary Dials: 20 Reached: 3 (15%) Leads: 0 (0%) Prospects: 0 (0%) Okay, so this was the worst reach rate in the whole 12 days! Yesterday I called the landscapers at 1PM, so today I decided to try 3PM local time. Even worse... It looks like with landscapers (and other tradespeople)...

    Day 11 Summary Dials: 25 Reached: 7 (28%) Leads: 1 (14%) Prospects: 0 (0%) So this week I am going for landscaping businesses. I started calling 1PM local time and only 1 out of 10 picked up so I decided to wait until the evening to call the rest and had better success - looks like might have...

    I will try to pick the numbers up as I go. Right now my main goal is to stay consistent with doing it each day and then feeling satisfied when I actually pick up the phone each day. And then each week I am gradually increasing the number of calls I make. When they say not interested and you...

    Day 10 Summary Dials: 25 Reached: 10 (40%) Leads: 1 (10%) Prospects: 0 (0%) I took what other's said previously about not shying away from the fact I am selling and going in strong, so I changed my script to following: Hi, this is Crazy GG. I was calling because I help plumbers stop losing...

    Day 9 Summary Dials: 25 Reached: 10 (40%) Leads: 3 (30%) Prospects: 0 (0%) Still no solid prospects but got a couple of weak/medium leads. I definitely feel more confident on the phone each day which by itself is a big win. However, I still lack confidence to go for the pitch and hence it...

    Day 8 Summary Dials: 25 Reached: 7 (28%) Leads: 3 (42%) Prospects: 0 (0%) Change of definitions Before I talk about this day, I have realized one important thing - I won't get any sales just from the initial cold call - follow up is the key. Therefore, I am changing the definitions (for the...

    I'm trying to avoid their "saleman sensor" by starting the conversation indirectly. The goal is to get them opening up because many of the plumbers hate Yell and I am hoping that some of them would start going off about it and then I could jump in with my pitch. This is more of a direct...

    Day 7 Summary Dials: 20 Reached: 6 (30%) Leads: 0 (0%) After yesterday's unusually high reach rate, today I reached very low number of companies. I thought a lot how I can adapt the opening line of the script to include something of value to the person picking up the phone which I felt I was...
