How to Drop the Dread and Cold Call with Confidence (Money Monday)

About this episode

This episode discusses strategies to overcome the dread of cold calling and build confidence through structured practices.

Cold calling is the hardest task on your to-do list every single day. But it doesn’t have to be. Start by creating a structured, focused block of time on your calendar every day to make your cold calls. No interruptions, no emails, just picking up the phone and dialing. It’s called the Power Hour, and Sales Gravy’s Master Sales Trainer Sarah Greer explains how to make it more fun. Incorporating things like working with a teammate, building pre-call rituals, and even giving yourself a hype song to get yourself started can transform how you feel about cold calling. Use Sarah’s tips in this week’s Money Monday to shed the dread and build confidence around cold calling. 📖 Purchase Jeb Blount's new book, 90 Days to Level Up Your Sales Skills 💻 Enroll in Sales Gravy University Courses with Sarah Greer 📱 Read Can You Make Cold Calling More Fun? 🔗 Follow us on LinkedIn!
