I really appreciate your sharing this.

But really, you are making 500 calls to make an average of $600. You are making a profit of $1.20 a call.

And who would talk for a minute to make $1.20? Most. Maybe me.

Thanks.

Why don't you try and close them on the phone?

All of that driving around to drop off material has got suck.

So what kind of material do you give them at the meeting?

Enjoyed your video.

you have a great phone voice calm and reassuring

I think getting them to a webinar sounds better

One of the best things i ve noticed, is that you have a really calm voice.

This is the secret to success.You are confident to what you are saying.

Good job.Thanks for the video.

That was interesting to peek into your world through the video. I like how you use the quarter hour to set an appointment to make it stick in their minds. I read once how doing that increases the likelihood they'll keep. There's a couple of things you said and did which has me wondering if you'd get more appointments if you didn't say and do them, but hey if it's working for you, more power to you. Looking forward to hearing more.

I could only get through the first call, and that was quite cringeworthy. It sounds very fake and like you have no idea what you're doing. You called her, yet you don't know if she's in Hawaii or LA, and you almost end the call because you didn't know...then you go on to be more awkward. Not only do you not qualify her at all, but she sounds like she could care less who you are and that you are coming. If you are taking the time to actually go in, don't you think it's important to have interest?

You ask her to call you if she has a change of plans before you come in, but you never gave her a number. Was that a real call?

It was also dragged out way too long, for no reason, get them on the phone, confirm that they are the DM, pitch, qualify and seal the appointment/sale...and move on.

I just think you have a long way to go on your delivery, hope you keep calling and get some more experience, that's your best bet!
Sorry if this is harsh, but that call was horrible and not a good example of anything, but now NOT to make a call.

Sounds like a telemarketer. I didnt listen past the first one, but it sounds like a potential no show, however I did note the technique, the disposition of the caller, and can see the thinking behind his style...the natural reactions... I like it. Dont have to listen to more in order to say "She is probably wood", but I can see how you could hit a quota daily. You sound like a pro telemarketer. Good stuff "real deal"

You would probably be able to keep up in a call center.

That's real world - thanks so much for posting the vid

So approx 1750 calls to make a $600 sale - there has to be an easier way?

It would be much better to have some pro's make videos wouldn't it? However, I don't really feel a need to make one, there are plenty of great how to videos here, no one needs another one. Thanks though for the compliment.

Edit: Oh, I just reread that, it was meant to be a dig...that's unfounded since you haven't worked with us. I would know lots about how to do it, I've got plenty of clients to keep me busy that I don't need to make free videos, I coach them on how to do it and get paid for it

The call was just like I said, bad. She is dangling, not interested, not led at all (the dead air is horrible), if he closed her great, however it does sound fake. If the OP would tighten up his technique his sales would be even more than they are and he'd have to make less calls. It'll come with time.

Sorry OP, I didn't see your request for me to record some calls so you can hear them, we don't do that, we have 4 callers that make about 600-800 calls a day...it's just not necessary. However, if you want some pointers or training, your welcome to get with me.

I honestly applaud the effort here, but as a Senior Warrior , I would also caution you against putting your clients contact info on the forum... you may not understand this, but if it bites you in the "weiner", you will come back and say "Wow, I should have listened". You may not get the true big brother care out of this post probably until you learn for yourself.

There are good reasons why most experienced marketers dont post their calls. Namely, having your clients called up by a thousand people telling them you posted their call, linking them to your threads, and trying to verify your closes if I must say it outright. Listen to the voice of experience, or dont. Otherwise, "good post".

Sincerely,

-A guy with bite marks.

Glad you took it right. I agree, you can help some people, and probably have already. This is a good place to do it.

I love your enthusiasm and creativity. Making money online really needs someone to think outside the square.
Congs! I will be following closely

Sounds great, bookmarking for later reference.

Thanks for posting this. I'm not going to criticise or comment on your method because at least you have one. I have been trying to train cold callers for the last few months and many just ring one or two - get negative responses and give up. This despite my offering massive commissions so good on you for doing whatever it takes to get some money rolling in.

Personally, I never visit any of my clients because I live out in the middle of the outback in a shack by a river. I just sit here in my air conditioned comfort calling and building and doing very nicely so if anything I'd like to encourage you to try just asking if they want one. I send them a few samples to their smart phones right on the first call and close the sale right then and there. By the time you've made yourself all purdy and got all your stuff together and gone down there and stuffed around I could have made a few dozen calls (at least) and guaranteed got a few sales. Try closing on the phone - it'll save you a hell of a lot of time. Just my suggestion.

Those are 500 calls made not answered right? If I call 100 ppl a day I might talk to 40! Its amazing to me on how many businesses dont answer their phone.

I do think this is good information, regardless of the risks you are taking.

As you can see I decided to listen to some more calls", and it really gave me that old time feelin... Thanks.

People can listen to this in their "pre call" sessions, and it will give them the VIBE. They can see things they would do, and other things they wouldnt... and it will help them tremendously.

I think what you show more than anything is that it truly isnt hard, and you spread the love on thick; that love alone can make you successful.

Again , good stuff. As you said to guy number 3 "lol. I love it".

There are some things I wouldnt do, but there is WAAAAY more good, and skill, than bad and lack of it. I would hire you man if I still had a room.

The biggest things I see that you have going for you are:

1: You keep it fluid and move with the customer
2: You manage the awkward pauses EXTREMELY well.
3: You give off a ton of love.
4: You mimmick personalities, like with guy number 3, you jumped right on his vibe (Alright man, cool brother...") lol
5: You exude love!
6: When they go astray you give them a little and go a little way with them, but you bring it back around in a timely way. (ABC Always be closing- This is a good example of that). You let them drive around the block but you always steer them back to the close in a timely way. Great timing and meter-fluidity.
7: You pay attention to the customers vibe, and stay on it... (Its really hard to teach that- but this vid will help people see it).

Just good stuff.

8: On number 2 you picked up on the ladies spiritualist vibe, and used the word Karma...Good move, that put her over the top.

On that note of number 8, that is the call I would probably critique the most if I were to do one, but I think its an example to others that this is much more about spreading the love than anything else. There are other styles of TMing, but thats the one I personally go by. It operates on a totally different system than other styles.

9: You are showing people an example of how to address an objection 3 or 4 times in a call, and not come across like you are arguing or butting heads...smooth transitions, " Do you know what a QR code is...? Okay great...The reason I asked is because...", then you guide it right back to the pitch. Good.

If I did something like this I would be toast, because my enemies would jump it like a bullfrog... But Im glad you were brave enough to do it, because this will help people alot.

Kudo's bro, you are doing a good work!

-John

Ps. I have seen these recordings before and most arent worth commenting on... this is a real telemarketer doing his thing.

Nice video. You seem very calm on the phone which I think gives off a good vibe with the people you are speaking to. I guess the key to cold calling is to be persistent and consistent with it until it becomes like a second nature to you so keep up the good work.

What program did you use to record your calls by the way?

Wow, congratulations Dude, so impressed. Very interesting thread. I see you in Forbes magazine a year from now. How long have you been on this thing and earning a $1000 per 20 mins. I bet you'd be a Billionaire soon, i just could'nt imagime a $1000 per 20 mins. Wow.

i agree, u can help some people and probably have already
this is a good place to do it

Listen, I can't thank you enough for posting this. You're getting a lot of feedback on your technique, and you're handling that feedback quite well. I really like what you've done here, with putting up actual examples of your calls, and your persistence in how you tell us to just take action. There are some real cold calling pros here, but most of us aren't cold calling pros. Just seeing (hearing) you take action is really motivational.

I've been SUCH a wuss on cold calling, gotten courses, read books, etc, but this is the first time I've ever actually heard someone on a call like this. OK, yeah, I did cold calling for donations to a nonprofit back in the late 80s, but I never developed the skills I need. This is inspiring.

I do want to give you, couldn't resist this, a word of caution, just in case. I'm going on the assumption on all these calls are legit. You're putting out some very sensitive information in the public domain - like people's home addresses and such. And I don't know about the laws where you are, but you've recorded phone calls, and from the flow of the calls, without consent, AND you've then posted them on a public forum.

I'm just sayin' - be careful.

Looks interesting, looking forward to your future info as promised.

Great post! Very motivational and you're right about not being perfect but just doing it anyway.... love that you are making sales with this.

I still freeze on cold calling and like Daniel have read, reread, bought wso's etc. on cold calling. I actually found this because I read the cold calling threads I can find.

Take the positives on here and don't worry at all about the negatives, at least not the one that posts a negative comment on every single cold calling thread I've ever found on here.

Never seems to come off as helpful but knows everything about cold calling.... just seems odd to me

Anyway, seriously keep at it and thanks for the inspiration.... YOU ROCK!!!

The 3rd call was hilarious, the way you switched and sounded like him LOL.
Well done and thanks for showing us!

I would definitely try and hide the confidential informational and beep it out for future recordings, it's easy for the customer to trace back to that channel, or you should make the videos private at least so it's not searchable on youtube.

Yelp! You're not on Yelp!!!

Dude, you're missing out, big time lol.

Just got off the phone with Ronny...Great info, gave some good pointers on getting through the call.

Thanks!

Cold Call Commando...Great post..I built my offline business appointment setting as well i enjoy making calls and it pays big money..LOL

Great stuff! Best of luck to you!

I really liked listening to the calls. It's great and encouraging knowing that someone is making cold calls and getting results.

You did a good job! Pat yourself on the back and keep getting better!
Your voice sounds good and professional, maybe just know your clients better... before calling them. Other than that kudos man, keep up the good work!

"I'm not selling cookies and peanut brittle here!" Love it.

MaxwellB, I agree with your posting above. He shared his call and has only been helpful.

Mwind076, why don't you show us your 4 man operations, Lol. Share a call or two, be helpful like the OP..not annoying.

I find it funny that you can't find a website that is linked in my sig. Great eye. I only saw that there were posts on this thread because your "re-new" of the post topic got me 14 visits to my website, 4 calls today and 2 new clients PAID in the last hour. Seems WF is in need of people that know what they are doing and you led them to me. Thanks!

Wonder why it's ok to bash me when you know nothing about us and haven't researched well enough to click my sig and see the website, and you have nothing better to do than drag up old threads. Personally, you can keep doing it if you're going to keep driving Warriors to me that need calls. Tell me, did they call you and sign up with your 22 person call center?

Tell me, why do I need to post videos to prove to you that I have clients and know what I'm doing? I'm not working for you, and you aren't paying me so I don't see the need there. I'm just working and getting paid and not posting on forums like you...but have fun!

Attitude only bothers those that need to be taken down a notch...looks like you played into it.

Just to thank you, here's the stats from today, for my website that I don't have, showing how you revived a thread and upped my views to my website (that I don't have).

Thanks again.

Mwind076, no one cares how much visits or leads you got from the thread...run off now.

Don't like it when things backfire on you do you? Enjoy your pity party.
