    If you love cold calling…no reason you can’t be a millionaire in a few years…

    Well this is it, isn't it?! Once you start doing it you realise that people aren't mad that you called and the very small number who are, you can still be very polite, friendly and feel more sorry for them than yourself because they're having a tough day/life to be going off at a stranger who...

    lol, @A-sop , had to be said. It's been 12+ years since I was in your boat but what I did was as follows... I selected a product (web design) and started calling businesses in the Yellow Pages etc to arrange a face to face meeting where I'd show them how we could do a better job than what they...

    To take months to bring in the first sale must have been so brutal. That's an iron will to keep going, an absolute refusal to fail. When I was getting started with my little web services biz in 2010, I took a chance and started cold calling. I had my first client and payment in the form of a...

    Sorry, but you're dead wrong here Kevin88660. This is certainly not a "cold calling" problem. It's simply an inability to do quality research ahead of time and then qualify out non suitable prospects quickly. Everything you describe comes down to lack of skill on the salespersons behalf.

    Disagreeing is fair enough but to say "cold calling is for losers" just reveals how small minded you are. Did you know Ari Emanuel would cold call Dana White and Lorenzo Fertita daily, for years before the eventual billion dollar deal they did together? Had no product to sell him at the time...

    Boys I’m gonna have to bow out of this one. This convo is going absolutely nowhere and I’ve just arrived for a weeks vacay in Napoli, pizza to eat, wine to drink sights to see and all that. Peace!

    This isn’t really an issue as you just make sure to buy clean data from a reliable company. Eh? Plenty of businesses go down despite having a good product market fit because they couldn’t figure out sales. Really? That’s it’s “purpose”? Says….who? Tell that to the blue chip companies making...

    It's funny, I forgot how allergic people are to cold calling, it's been so long since I've taken part in a discussion on a forum about it. I get it, fear of rejection, not wanting to be a bother, performance anxiety, even a lil' touch of existential dread all wrapped up into a nice little...

    LoL Yeah, I think that's his point! Maybe enjoy is a strong word but for people who are perfectly comfortable sitting banging out cold calls and good at doing that, it can be extremely lucrative with the right product. I believe he's referring to what he's seeing in the RE world, where folk...

    This grabbed my attention last night as it's something that's been on my mind lately. Agree/Disagree? I personally think it's dead on the money. It's amazing how well cold calling still works. With the right product/audience fit, you can literally sit and make easy sales just by...

    Neither, it's the relationship with the list :) **edit but to be fair, a fresh list will outperform a less fresh one all things being equal so it's probably more age/relationship. Size doesn't effect at all, in my experience.

    Dude this is sick! Also, that AI text to voice thing you posted is in-sane! You could almost have your own podcast out of your newsletter and without a doubt create slick videos from snippets read out by the robot. I'm gonna need to look into this. --- I've been working away in the...

    This is the way. Start of with a big/general campaign and then when you start to see traffic you can create ad group off shoots which focus on the more promising keywords and have ads/landing page tailored to them. From experience, if you start building all this out at the start, you'll end up...

    Yeah I would pause that and go after other search terms. You've got to give people what they want when it comes to search, the closer the ad and landing page are to the exact term they've typed in, the more success you're going to have. Having a search ad for David Goggins keywords and then...

    Yeah solid advice, esp about getting out and taking action rather than just reading! My thinking right now is to engage in communities/forums/sub reddits for things I'm interested in writing about and read/interact/make some posts, to see how that feels. Once I find something I'm enjoying...
