Developing a cold calling system

[Account Closed]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to put a cold calling system in place. I've cold called before and while it's not very fun, it's quite cost effective and it does work if you do it consistently. Can anyone share any systems you have in place when cold calling? How many times do you call the same list? I normally get a 10 % response rate (calls answered with the right phone numbers). Most of the numbers are also incorrect so this is another challenging aspect of cold calling.

It may be possible to make 1k calls in 6-8 hours but that's if they don't answer. Would you rather make 1000 phone calls and get 2 leads or 25 phone calls and 2 leads? 25 of course. This is coming from someone who will make consistently 200 phone calls a day. It's not about how many dials but how many conversations you had. The key is to use you time in the most effective way, what if instead of cold calling you were luke warm calling? Those are definitely a much easier call. How do you get them luke warm instead of cold? That's your challenge. VAs are awesome, but VAs don't speak well and training them for calls is tough. The phone call is about rapport how quickly can you build rapport with this person, that's when you can get the most out of every call. Match their tone of voice, use similar words, be a reflection of that person so they feel comfortable with you.
