Cold calling is like stand up comedy

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
