As Dr. Sweet has mentioned in class, cold calling is something that many people dread or skip altogether.\u00a0 This is because how often you fail in it.\u00a0 It is often the hardest part of making a relationship and is more than likely unsuccessful.\u00a0 But as has been mentioned in class it is a very good practice tool for creating conversation in tough situations.\u00a0 Being able to start a productive conversation that usually the other party doesn’t work and or you know nothing about the person makes more tailored conversation a breeze to have.\u00a0 You learn how to start a conversation as well as how to push the conversation towards your end goal.\u00a0 You also learn how to use your limited time wisely because if you take too long to catch someone’s attention they can easily hang up.\u00a0 It is also important to not get discouraged at a lack of success with cold calling and know that the more you do it the more leads you can produce.\u00a0 During a summer internship, in which I constantly cold called, I would make on average around 350-450 cold calls a day and within that I would maybe get 50-100 pick-ups which would result in, on a good day, 10-15 leads.\u00a0 This shows how much it is a numbers game that you cann0t get caught up in.\u00a0 Cold call is incredibly important to your down the road sales skills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
