September Cold calling challenge

Every week on the offline forum, I see a new thread about Cold calling.


The main issues normally tend to be:

1 - The fear of cold calling

2 - Not being motivated enough to cold call

3 - Lack of discipline

4 - Procrastination


For those being affected by any of the above mentioned examples., here is a simple method I think would help posters, including myself I hasten to add.

We set up a September Cold calling challenge. The challenge would be to find out who makes the most number of cold calls in the month of September.

Other factors such as; who made the most contact with prospects, who made the most sales, appointments booked e.t.c would also be noted.

The winner of the contest would be the person who made the most cold calls for September.

The challenge would commence from Monday the 2nd of September and end Monday the 30th of September. All participants must submit their entry by to partake in the challenge by Sunday the 1st of September.
Every participant would be required to post the number of calls they make on a daily basis. I would tally up the scores at the end of each week and post a leader scoreboard.

I'll go first.

My goal is to make 100 cold calls a day.
Call 5 days a week
500 calls a week
2000+ cold calls for the month of September
My target market - Small Business owners

While I know these figures are very average and I might have days I make zero calls. There is no way I intend to be bottom of
the leader board.

P.S Cold calling would mean speaking to people for the first time. Follow up calls don't count.
