My favorite cold call story involves calling a VP at a +$1BN credit union 46 times over 2 years to get a meeting He included his director on the first meeting (I had only called her 34 times beforehand) They ended up buying a $60k license, we were on a texting basis, & he retired right before implementation lol Two lessons here: 1. Obsess over the process and emotionally detach from the results 2. Fortune is in the follow ups

$2500 commission on a 60K sale is crazy. You are really selling the wrong thing. I own a payment processing company, with that kind of follow up you would literally be rich on our team.

Hey, I’d like to get a job with you!

Thank you bud, using this as a reminder that cold calling is so worth it!

Bro I just watched your playlist and I genuinely feel like you have changed my life for the better. I already know what I have to do. All I need are people to remind me that I am doing the right stuff. I just need to have a better attitude.

Trent, thanks a lot for the great advice man. You´ve shared valuable material to increase successful rate of cold calling. Blessings.

Hi Trent, I’m new in the biz and I’m going to implement your “agenda” tip from now on! I didn’t even know what to ask for and Bam you hit it on the nail. Thank you

Thank you soo much for making Cold Calling videos Trent! I’ve been performing extremely well as a BDR after watching all of your videos. Pls keep making more videos tailored to BDRs/SDRs

You've really inspired me the last couple years. I've been in sales since 2020 in real estate and medical happy herbs the last couple years, and you are the one that has pushed me over the edge to do software sales. Starting next Tuesday, I'm nervous because I know the huge challenge coming, but also very very excited to push myself to the next level in life. Just picked up your cold calling guide! Thanks for everything.

The tips you gave are so spot on. I’m a starter but I have experience in business I just never needed to cold call - on my new bus. startup I need to cold call and it seems like it came to me naturally bc I started giving tips to my friends watching me without even having prior experience. Those tips being half of why you said in this video I’m obsessed with the process and laugh at reactions . I love the feeling and speaking so fluently at a high level Great content - will be watching more

Thank you.

Your tips are so good. The company I represent has a culture of contacting purchased leads, however, the skill of calling cold contacts would make a bigger impact im the long run.

I believe it requires the right mindset from the get go. We pay for our leads, and leads are limited. Commissions are around $150 to $250 per sale on average. I have to believe the leads are good and that hang ups and busy signals are just getting me closer to a sale, and then I have to make another one and another until it’s time for bed. There will be weeks on end with no sales and days with 5-7 sales. It takes a lot of mental focus, positivity and stamina.

love u broski

How does this process change if you’re a new b2b business of just 1 person and you’ve not yet made a sale?

Once you get the decision maker on the call, are you trying to close the deal on the phone or close an appointment?

@TrentDressel

7 ай бұрын

depends what you are selling - if it's B2C maybe you are trying to close, if it's B2B, appointment

We all need to start somewhere. I appreciate your videos because you show how to be good in sales period. We all need to start somewhere, at sometime.

How about intro and follow up emails?
