when you doing cold calling one of the hard problems is to talk to the business owners since they aren't there/ someone else picked up the phone and insist to write a message to the owners

    Any type of business can be one person when they start. If its a one person business there is a big chance that the person cannot hire others because the business is not profitable enough.

    When you call and the business owner isn't there simply ask the worker when they'll be back they usually (more then not) know when the owner will be in especially if its a small business.

    When they tell you just call back and you're set!

      Freelancers and writers are not the type of clients you want. They do not make a lot of money where they can afford to pay others for SEO.

    (to gatekeeper) "If you were in my shoes, and you really had to talk to this person...what time would you call?"

    gatekeeper: "Ummm...four o'clock."

    you: "Oh, thanks. ...but you won't be working then, will you..."

    "Oh, you will! Will you remember my name? Will you put my call through when I call back?"

    And then you calendar it and do it.

    You'll spend a couple days having this conversation over and over.

    Then you'll have days of calls lined up with decision makers. The gatekeepers will know you and shoot your calls through now.

    Then you'll run out of decision makers and go back to talking to gatekeepers.

    No big deal.
