Cold calling is like stand up comedy

Nov 26, 2022
1 min read

You only have a few seconds to win over your audience...or die on the spot


Master it and you'll be on course for a long & successful career


You'll become equipped with invaluable interpersonal skills to serve you throughout your life


Your adoring public will crave your next performance


It takes guts and practice


It involves skilled human interaction and thinking on your feet to gain the interest of a complete stranger


Inspiring people to think differently about things.


Building credibility and trust in the process to leave a lasting impression


To the point they book a time to come and see you next week...maybe bringing one or two colleagues along for the show


The difference in sales is that you have a phone to hide behind


What a relief...


You're just a voice


And could be anyone


It's one-to-one & not to a room full of gawping strangers


You don't have to be funny (though it can help in breaking the ice)


But you do have to be engaging, credible & interesting.


Michael Mcintrye said it took him around 150 gigs to become a decent stand-up comedian


So don't give up & end up spending your prospecting time hiding behind email


Keep going


It'll pay huge dividends
