-- Cold-calling on potential clients.

[Simply Red]

I never really opened up much over the last 7 yrs. Maybe some of you know - but; others may not. I lost my business in January. T'was a good run from '10-'17 however; Once we came home from Afghanistan spelled doom for my company - as my customer's client held a military contract for laptop repair for the marines in Leatherneck/Bastion (Helmand Province) - I almost lost everything. I never went bankrupt but chances are my leasing company will sue me w/in 3 mos. or so. This all being said, I began a new job selling RMM tools for PBX systems and network environments.

Do any of you cold-call? That's pretty much my job now and it's going pretty good. My approach is simple, take your time when/once you connect live w/ a person - pronounce your words well and have plenty of volume - generally these folks will talk to you, I've found.

Who else cold-calls? Any tricks you'd like to share?

Thank you in advance...
