Re: 100 cold call a day challenge,

I went through a similar thought pattern. I had the money but I didn't trust the money to work as hard (ie testing / trial an error). Wasn't sure how long funds would last as it was finite but with...

LOL squared: rubbing 2 of them begets a platitude, rubbing 3 is still fresh (and the mark of a great writer and a great mind too).

No, he could not absolutely have closed him. You are assuming that the guy had enough money... I've met a lot of people at networking events. Some who didn't have 3 pennies to rub together wanted...

What are you "qualifying" them for? Web design and seo should in some way complement or replace their current marketing and should lead to

more business. Right?

You'd do better by framing the question as 'opportunity' not 'problem'

Remember to approach the sales process in a systematic way. Regardless of your prospects' starting point, you just apply the system.

First darn thing I told the OP to do.

Re: Whats a good way to cold call process to close seo/web design in one call ?

If you don't mind, what do you talk about instead of SEO?
I imagine "more local traffic" and ROI... but want to hear your terminology.
OP probably does too.

Thank you.

If you're going to cold call, at least study the basics of it while you're calling. Buy a telemarketing book and study it then you'll be able to work on your scripts.
