NR I'm just trying to bring my posting to another level.
you can read the newpaper when you want... you go to the yellow pages when you need a service flyer comes in you read them at you leisure or throw them out at you leisure.. customers refer you on their own...and most likely you did a great job... calling people and begging during dinner is annoying..during Y&R is annoying...during breakfast television is annoying...while I'm relaxing or taking a nap is annoying... Sears is a big Telemarketer...and I can say from experience that 90% of the calls they get are minimum calls ...or cheapos....Do you know how many times I've heard "you guys called me" I hate pitty calls ------------- www.mr-steamer.com |

don't take it personal \nr...but time is money...
Cold calling makes timing work against you not for you. It doesn't do you any good to spend time with prospect who: Has no need for your product will buy your product in the distant future but not anytime soon Is alreadya customer Has just bought from your competition. Timing is critcal, as I just mentioned there's no point in calling someone who is not in a buying mode for your product or has no need for it. HOWEVER cold calling forces you to spend your VALUABLE, PRODUCTIVE time with exactly those people. Pixcture this NR is sitting at his desk running his booky numbers, writing his buffet menu, and making a new telemarketing script. he's trying to get this done all before 8pm so he can finally go home... He is juggling task ...ring ring ring....it's some ass calling to give him 100 dollar voucher to manderine..lol ------------- www.mr-steamer.com |

You have let your emotions over come you again NR.. you can't debate...
Cold calling for carpet cleaning is a waste of time, you have to make to many calls for poor results.. you can call 50 people right now...and you run into a brick wall on your first call...why the hell would you want to run into a brick wall 50 more times.. this is why I never bother talking to you NR you can't reason. you're just a shifty motherphucker taking pot shots.. I'll go back to my daily stupid posts insulting you, thats what you like hassole ------------- www.mr-steamer.com |

I can accept that cold calling works. I've met some very talented telemarketers. Any of them will tell you that you project your own insecurities and self-doubt on the prospect, and that's how you lose them. I'm not good at it. I'm not that kind of showman, and I hate relating to people on that level. I project my unease when I try to be Mr. Sales Guy. I'm uncomfortable, so my prospect is uncomfortable. Anyway, cold-calling doesn't work for me. It's like Chinese water torture. No thanks. People need to find what works for them. It's not hard for me to believe that NR is a tele-tiger. He's got this crazy self-confidence that seems borderline insane to me, but I've found that people often respond positively to that. I don't really get it, but I've seen it work over and over and over. My manager when I worked for ChemDry was like that. He has all this stupid confidence--most people don't even like him--but he has this insane knack for securing work at high prices. Sure, his quality of work was crap, so I snagged a lot of his clients when I went out on my own, but he was great at landing them in the first place. He was by far the most successful employee even though he was the worst worker. He just bought his own ChemDry franchise, and he's doing great. Anyway, it just makes sense to me that as business people we should be honest with ourselves about our strengths and weaknesses, and maximize the potential of those strengths. For me, I'm great face to face. I build relationships quickly and easily, so networking environments are good for me. I read social situations very well and can adapt easily in most cases. Telemarketing? Sales pitches? Eh, I hate telemarketers calling me, so I hate being one myself. Simple. |
