Talk about cold calling once, and it keeps popping up…
February 5th, 2008 by Allen VoivodYou know that weird phenomenon where you notice something, or mention it offhand, or it comes up in conversation, and suddenly you’re attuned to it? You’re picking up on it everywhere you turn?
That’s been happening with us on the subject of cold calling recently. It’s one thing to be doing it on the phone - our financial adviser just told us she has to do it face-to-face, knocking on door after door in local neighborhoods. With a goal of 24 doors in a day, every day! Good grief, that seems intense.
And Lani and I were just recently saying how strange it is that, despite being pretty outgoing people, the idea of cold calling actually freaks us out a bit. So far, it hasn’t been necessary to grow our business…but we know it’s a fact of life for lots of folks.
Well, by an odd coincidence, we got a note from Virtual Assistant extraordinaire Erin Blaskie about Wendy Weiss, the “Queen of Cold Calling.” Wendy’s putting on a free teleclass to talk about cold calling, appointment setting, and how to develop new business. In her words:
What would happen to your business if you were able to double the number of qualified, prospects you are able to reach?
How would it affect your bottom line if you met with and/or had comprehensive telephone conversations with twice the number of qualified, decision-makers?
How would it feel to have qualified, decision-makers eager, willing and delighted to meet with you?
For people who cold call for their business, it sounds like this would be pretty powerful. The teleclass is happening today, Feb. 5th, at 4pm ET - sign up for it here.
We trust Erin very much, so we’re sure there’s going to be a lot of good stuff on this call. Take advantage of it, and afterward, let us know what you liked best with a comment here!
