Wow, 6 weeks of this.
About 650 calls now.
Im now at the point to where if Im stuck and traffic and see a work van, I call them up, no fear, just has to be done.
Getting less hangups but I think my pitch sucks because I keep getting Not interesteds. I feel terrible when I see posts from other WDs or fellow FWS students that are seeming to fall backwards into 2,000$+ jobs, but I wont give up.
Kinda hit a rhythm with waking up around 5am to do site work, and then dashing in and out of my dayjob at breaks to make calls. Thinking Im at the point where I need to stop focusing on quantity, and switch to quality, silo into a niche, scrape info, and send some cold emails and THEN call to hopefully have more credibility and win higher paying projects.
I have noticed that even for people that say "YES!"... they're like sand in your hand, I'll get ghosted come an agreed upon time for meetings and having to recall and follow up- but Im looking into ways to cut this.
Just hope all this work is worth it and I haven't been pissing into the wind. Accidentally called a man who just had heart surgery this morning, and oddly enough he was one of the few people to acknowledge the oncoming economic hardship and that he'd need help filling his pipeline... and specifically requested a callback in the end of october. I have PLENTY of sales calls to make this fall and winter at least... wondering how to get more people that I contact to move on securing their pipeline NOW.
