What's an easy sell right now for cold-callers?

Hey folks, I'm in a pretty good position right now. I don't have any obligations, and the next month is paid for on my powerdialer.

(to the uninitiated - powerdialers allow you to dial ~150 numbers an hour, as opposed to dialing ~40 by hand)

I'm more than comfortable cold-calling. You might even say I'm good at it. What I'm looking for is what's selling well right now. I don't know whether to go with standard html websites, OREM, mobile sites, direct mail campaigns, or whatever else. I've been wrapped up in other things for the past couple months and feel like I might be a tad bit behind. I'm also open to WSO recommendations

If anyone wants to share whats working for them right now, that'd be awesome.

      Why would he do that when he can sell mine?

      Really though, if you're motivated and get on the phone you can sell anything. Anything is easy enough when you get people that are interested. Web Design for me is the easiest and easiest way to get into other services.

    Sell results... Sell what the business owner wants:
    More time, more profits, more customers

    What products do you offer that will deliver these in the shortest amount of time?

    I know this isn't the answer you were looking for, but I think it's the answer you need.
    Make enough calls and you will get a few laydowns.
    Once you get the customers, when you deliver exactly what they wanted quickly, you will be in a great position to upsell and generate referrals.

    I'm not sure what's selling well right now - but good Direct Mail seems to actually be a pretty interestingly positioned area that is under promoted. Lots of internet or mobile based services are flashy and enticing, but direct mail is a consistent results generator if done well.

    I forget who said that a good principle for success is to look at what everyone else is doing and DO THE OPPOSITE! But I think it basically appeals to some common sense that you want to stand out and not just be offering a "me too" service (whatever you offer).

    I think direct mail fits that bill pretty well. But I have been known to be wrong a time or two.

    Websites with bonuses. SOOOO many bad websites out there that are not working for their owners and they know it. It is something they can wrap their head around.
