Free registration at the forum removes this block.i have called quiet a few buisnesses offering people counters and most immediately seem annoyed just for calling them.Do people just distrust telemarketers?
I have gotten 2 leads from this but thats after 200 calls on a specific franchise, i do not think i can run a business with 1% calling back.How do you guys get your names out there?
Sell what it does, not what it is.

Yea dude that hit home.Excuses are for the weak.If that sounds hard to you, it's because it is. There's a reason why a few individuals can push through and commit.
But that's the harsh reality, it's not hard to do at first. But day in and day out is the hard part and will require alot of resolve.
Good luck
Most hang up by saying "not interested" or they instead say "sounds interesting email me"What's your pitch?
Are you familiar with tonality?
Why are they hanging up?
What's your product offering?
Also, 1% could be amazing for cold calling; just matters what industry you're in and what the product/service is. Not all offerings are efficient to sell via cold calling.
JesusDude,
I started my journey 2 years ago. Being Deaf myself, cold calling doesn't seem like an option for me, the only way i can do this is have a 3 way converstation with an interpeter in the middle thats voicing what I say.
That being said, I explored many different options from cold email, facebook page messaging, direct mail, google adwords (this one is solid in terms of scale)..
To get started, I still do cold calling, even today, when I see my pipeline getting low, I dont have people lined up in the next month for a payment. I am picking up that f#$%ing phone and dialing... practice, practice, and practice.. Learn about the questions you need to ask, learn about how to direct the conversation to give yourself leverage, learn how to justify the sale price, learn how to close the sale...
If a guy like me can close 2 sales last month over the phone for a website, you have no excuse when you have ears and can actually call them directly and gauge your converstation..
Pick your phone up and call for 2-3 hours straight for 5-6 days a week. Practice produces results.
