-- Cold-calling on potential clients.
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...

Sorry to hear about the business--you seem nice!

Aa for cold calling, if you decide to do it, don't take anything personal and do anticipate being told to go **** a hot wafflebiron covered in antifreeze, a lot.

You are everything wrong with this world and I'll spend as much time as possible wasting the time of the person calling me while I crush their soul...

I've never gotten that - our leads are warm so it's cool. Plus techies are always trying to improve. Overall they generally know they're speaking w/ someone AT LEAST as smart as they are. I was once a CEO too. and ty for the condolences.

To me, it's all about building a relationship. An area that you seem to shine.

Well that is favorable over straight up cold calling.

I hate phones. I don't have a cell phone.

I really hate being called when I'm trying to sleep (noon to about 8 pm.)

That's when all political/sales/random calls happen. And I'm on the no-call list with a landline...

Those no call lists are a good way to find numbers to call.

If they wake me up and I can't make the woman on the other end cry I feel like I've failed humanity...
