That’s alot of phone calls in that time period. Good luck on that! That’s dedication.

I am terrible at talking. Cold calling is not for me.

How do you guys do it?

Thanks Eren! I guess it’s time for me to write an update.

Awesome! You go girl!
When I had to cold call my mindset was not looking at the results but at the amount of times I tried. So lets say I tried 20 times and got one response I was happy because I had gotten that one out of a result of trying 20 times. That way I wouldn’t feel disappointed after each no.
That really helped me to move forward. You can do it!
All the best,
Eren

Great idea Spot!

I will offer some tips soon, as soon as I finish calling about 100. I’m up to 70 now (I’ll write a post about my slow progress soon too).

Hi Pamela,

For now I’m looking at just local companies (no long distance charges and I don’t have to use my Skype). I did make sure to include some advertising agencies and graphic design firms, but I’m calling everyone. I started with the end of the alphabet.

No other criteria. Just as many as possible. I’m trying to get my list up to 500 in my spreadsheet.

Let me know when you get the book (hopefully through my link), and we can encourage each other!

Wow, this is an admirable goal. I myself am terrible at cold calling. Perhaps you’d consider writing a future blog post with tips?

Great idea, Theda. I am interested in joining you– as soon as I get the book. I’m wondering if you had any other criteria in selecting your companies, in addition to size and web address, i.e. type of business.

Thanks.

You should set up some automated emails anyway. Just be sure you put in an easy way for someone to opt out if they want to. Don’t want to alienate any potential clients. Once you have a healthy list, you could then pull back on the updates to something monthly or bi-monthly, depending on your schedule.
