Why 10,000 NOs?
Why NOs?
Ok I don't know what else to say at the moment. I'll post findings after 100 NOs.
I wanted to start my own drywall company, but realized I need to learn how to sell.
Knowing almost nothing I have googled "how to sell" which led me here and somebody posted Benjamin Dennehy video:
I loved it, it made sense to me and now I want to learn how to do cold calls. Selling is something that always wanted to know, but I was afraid to act. After 20 years, (I am not 20 years old), this needs to change. There is simply NO OTHER WAY.
I've read this thread: GOLD! - Getting Rid of Cold Calling Anxiety Using Brute Force
This kind of threads, seeing people starting from zero and progressing over time provides tremendous value for other people. Especially for me since I'm also scared to death cold calling. So I want to provide readers the same.
Why 10,000 NOs?
I felt that @Vilox thread ended too soon, at least for me, it seems he just started to warm up and then it abruptly ended. From experience I've learned it takes about 2-3 years to learn some trade above amateur level. I figure 10,000 NOs will take that long. It's enough long time to develop strategies for repeatable success. Methods will probably change in that period and I will most certainly employ other methods beside cold calling.
Why NOs?
Few reasons.
- Dial itself is too easy. Means nothing to me.
- Want to get comfortably numb to getting NOs. Unless I don't care it's a NO how can I be relaxed to going for YES?
- Want to make prospects feel they can be comfortably saying NO. If they are not comfortable saying NO, why would they be comfortable saying YES? Making prospects comfortable with me is top priority
Ok I don't know what else to say at the moment. I'll post findings after 100 NOs.
