- With so many calls made haven't you called/reached your entire market rather fast? What do you do than? Just keep calling all the businesses that didn't said NO to your offering in the first call as long as conversion rate stays reasonable I guess?
More leads, more dials, add night shift, add a aged lead shift, lots and lots of room to grow. Will probably cap out around 20m rev
- What would be the maximum amount of cold calls per day you can see your biz make as you scale it? 10k? 20k?
Impossible to say until you start over dialing, have no hit that yet plus there are more leads to obtain
- How many calls does 1 employee make per hour/day?
200 connected calls, 3,000 dials
- Do you hire experienced telemarketers or do you teach employees how to sell? Why?
Experienced only with zero background or drug problems
- How do you pay you employees? Base salary + commission?
Hourly + commissions + lots and lots of bonuses in various forms.
- Profit per call made/sell?
Gross revenue right now is about $14 per connected call.
- How much profit per sale would you need at least to make cold calling worthwhile? $500 $3k? Any sweetspot?
Depends, you need to figure that out for your own business.
- With 5k calls per day you obv go for volume but have you tried a low volume approach to cold calling (put more time into prospecting and research to connect with the prospect better on the phone and show you "really care" about there business)?
Lol, in this niche, F*ck off is usually 90% of the pick ups. No one gives a F*ck that you "really care".
- Any books/courses recommended for cold calling (both as a cold caller & a manager of a sales team)?
Yes, its called pick up the F*cking phone and dial the number course
- How big is the difference in terms of conversion rates between good, average and bad cold callers?
I have no idea because i fire people within the first 1-2 days of starting
