Hello,
Today I would like to show you some tips from Jeremy J Ulmer about cold calling. Please share your opinions. Some people believe in this and some are strongly opposed to it, now it is time to tell everybody why you feel that way.
I hope you like it!

- Most people do not enjoy cold calling, but they need to realize it has to be done. It really is a mind-set. You have to set time daily to call, and make it part of your daily behavior/activities.
- Not everyone will be a fit and that is ok! If they say “No” or “No Thanks!” that is totally fine. You are simply finding out who might be a fit or not. There will be less pressure on you if you keep that mind-set.
- Celebrate the little sales. When you land a meeting or secure a conference call appointment, celebrate it on your own or with your team.
- Get creative on the call and be yourself.
- Recommend you attempt some calls prior to 8AM local time and after 5:00PM local time. Try some on Sat and Sun as well if needed!

These are really very nice tips. These are ultimate never seen these before. How do you find these. Thanks for sharing these.
It is also important not to badger your calls over and over. I get lots of calls, some are interesting and companies and others are not. When I say I am not interested for the third time that doesn't mean to call me two days later because maybe I was having a bad day.
Sometimes I feel like it iss about lucking in to the right time for a person to talk, There may be times of the day for a person that they may deny absolutely everything that is thrown in front of them just because of their mood and stress related to their day. But yet sometimes the time may be just right because the person is more open during that time. I compare cold calling to asking a girl out for a date, the questions have to be asked, if you want to get anywhere. And if you get a no, that's okay…. but if you get a yes, well you're time was certainly worth it.

I have never thought of it like that… very good analogy, people would be better at it if they thought like that!
This is the reason why most people get so annoyed with it. But when cold calling is done properly it is a very good method.

Im about to start doing some cold sales calls and I'm a nervous wreck? Any tips or tricks to calm my nerves and help me through this? Tips for higher conversions with cold calls would also be appreciated.
Yes cold calling is all about the mind-set, you have to be strong mentally, because it is very tough to cold call people, and sometimes you get the bad calls that will slam you on the phone, and mess with your mind. It can just kill your whole afternoon.

I absolutely detest making cold calls but I have been successful at using them. The advice above is sound. Cold calling is not fun but when it leads to a sale for you it is fantastic. Use these highs to remain enthusiastice and just see each “no” as a statistic that you must work through to get to the sale.
