My first coldcall day for buyers list

[Account Closed]

So I've been procrastinating about this part but knew I didn't have a choice. I grabbed the greensheet and forced myself to finally do it. I stated a nice little scripted intro that told who I was, what I was, that I'd seen their ad, and how I worked. When I first started I was leaning forward, heart pounding, and fullf fear. By the end I was leaned back and relaxxed. It went surprisingly well. Had some very receptive, some iffy ones, and others weren't interested. If they weren't interested I asked them if they might have any friends who might be and if they could pass my info along.

I also got some compliments on my domain name for my website. They liked how easy it was to remember and how it summed up my business. Even better I got 2 leads for potential sellers.

Now I haven't actually gotten an email from my autoresponder that anyone has signed up yet. Do you think from now on I should get their name, phone, and email even though I have also sending them to my site or is that a bad idea on a cold call?

All in all I did it for 2 hours and thought it was a pretty good experience.

How many names did you get on your buyer's list after cold calling for 2-hours? This is the real bottom line. Most people find out that cold calling does not work out that hot. Good luck on all your efforts. Perhaps you might want to try some craigslist ads to get people to contact you first - then you move into the warm calling arena!
