Live Consulting Challenge - 730 Cold Calls + 100 Emails - The Results????
As my forum username suggests, I'm Peter Jones and Internet Marketing Consultant and wait.... A Lorry Driver in the UK. I first started consulting a little over two years ago, around my driving job, my goal with consulting back then was to get out of the $48,000 worth of debt that I was in. Fast forward to right now and I'm debt free.
What did I know when I first started?
Very little with no proven results, I had built a couple of blogs in the past promoting clickbank products. These blogs made around $500 in the first year between them.
So in reality I knew how to buy a domain, install wordpress, optimise it using all in one seo pack, install a free theme, do basic keyword research, write the content and build some links.
This basic knowledge combined with many WSO's purchases over the past couple of years, the free information available on the Warrior Forum and a lot of determination to succeed have brought me to where I am today.
Today I am almost ready to take the leap and become a full time internet marketing consultant, my part time consulting business actually generates more profit each month than I receive in wages from my JOB.
Last week I actually injured my back which has forced me to take a week sick at a minimum. On the back of that I have decided to run myself a very public offline consulting challenge.
What exactly is this challenge?
The challenge is to contact 750 businesses and offer them my services, I will be contacting 130 per day with Cold Calling - something that I have only done very little of before.
I will also be contacting a further 20 businesses who have negative reviews on their Google Places pages, I will be doing this via email and then following up the next day with a telephone call. My normal method of lead generation is classified adverts which do actually work, I'm living proof of that so this is all new to me!
I offer a range of services but as this is cold calling I'm going to try and stand out from the noise by initially offering SMS text marketing services, and the service I'm offering the companies with poor reviews is obviously reputation management and SEO.
I am going to try to do all selling without any face to face meetings, this is how most of my selling has always been done however it is definitely easier to sell face to face.
I decided to do this challenge on the Warrior Forum in order to give back to the community that help me get to where I am today and hopefully to encourage others who are struggling to make money or get out of debt to take action.
I will be posting updates throughout each day, I will email the first 20 businesses with poor reviews this evening and start the cold calling tomorrow through to Saturday.
What's the Goal of this Challenge?
There are two goals one for me and one for everyone on the forum.
My Goal - To create as much income as possible this week, I'm realistically hoping for in excess of £1000 GBP which is approximately $1600 USD in addition to a monthly income stream in the same region which will be a nice addition to my current monthly client income.
My Goal for the forum - To inspire others to take action and make it happen! Only you can do it, no one will do it for you!
I'll keep you posted throughout each day with updates
