Today I got a cold call...

Greetings and Welcome Cold Closing Network Members and Friends!

It has been a while since I chimed in with any thoughts so I took the occasion to vent about the call I just received from a fellow cold caller. Now, I am not usually accustomed to critique (unless I am asked for my two billion cents) but I could not pass this one up. Imagine, The Cold Closer, getting a cold call... and a very poor one at that. So let'er rip...

This was the intro, "Hi". (not bad, but dont most people respond in ki… Continue

The Right Mindset for Cold Calling... Success, Rejection, Fear, the Numbers and Taking it Personal.



This is a topic that is near and dear to me because I believe in the "thought process" behind cold calling and using it as a tactic to create meaningful connections in selling environments. I am currently working on a book that details the key elements of cold call… Continue

What does Cold Closing mean to you?

I came up with the name "Cold Closers" while I was working for a teleprospecting and lead generation company a handful of years ago. I was sitting at my desk (should have been working) and begin to think of what exactly I "do" as a Business Development Manager at Company X (to protect the guilty... er, um innocent) and came up with this; I cold call (unannounced introduction) into companies to qualify them for any number of diverse services offered by our clients and close them on… Continue

Thanks Edward.. I am going to get a new photo done in a few days/
Did you happen to watch history in Washington a few moments ago.
I have never been more proud to be an American/ A red headed caucasion
democrat who loves the change that this man and his presidency will have
on our country. It is a pleasure to know we have finally gotten over the hump
of those who never thought this would happen. MLK knew ... and he also knew he would die young, and prayed his message would continue.
It did, and WE have done it!!! I am so proud, as I am sure you are, as well.

Thanks Edward,

Dave and I had a long, but valuable discussion yesterday on the finer and frustrating aspects of prospecting through cold calling. I am excited about the opportunity to be a a part of your group and hope to add some value. The biggest challange we all face is the amount of time in the day.

Edward,

Very nice to get the message from you.
HDD issue ... format is sad in a sense and great in another. Now you should have had started clean.

I would suggest that once everything is installed on your computer to make an image of the system that will help restore it in about 30-60 minutes. A small disaster recovery policy. You can use Norton Ghost for this.

What Do You Have in Common with Apple, Southwest and Nordstroms?

There is one vital characteristic that delivers dramatically higher results …in anything. That characteristic is personal accountability. We must always be responsible and accountable to ourselves regardless of our background, position or occupation.

In fact, personal accountability is even more important as small business owners. Just because we do not have a boss to answer to, does not mean that we should sacrifice our efforts and accountability for excuses and complacency. It is called conscious ownership.
