How many times have you heard your spouse say that, huh? Well, he or she is probably right. You can pick up the phone and call, and you should be doing it every day to prospective customers.
You say you hate cold calls? So do I. So what? They can be the lifeblood of your business. And besides, once you make that first really successful cold call, you’ll never look at it the same way again. You may not want to hear it, but the only way to get over your fear of dialing that number is just to do it. Ask any successful network marketer and they’ll tell you basically the same story. They loathed the idea of cold calls but made them anyway and guess what? It worked! More times that you’d imagine. And today they have no problem with calling someone, anyone, and introducing themselves and their product or service.
For the sake of whomever it is that I am calling, when I get them on the phone I quickly say who I am and why I’m calling. People don’t like to waste their time and you shouldn’t waste yours. If a particular prospect is adamant about not wanting what you’re selling, get off the phone. No need to waste your own time as well. But remember, those prospects are also in business and are always looking for ways to bolster their own company. If your product or service can do that for them, they’ll gladly listen to what you have to say.
Give someone an AWESOME day……by picking up the phone and calling them!
Talk with you soon Casey!
