jJust do away with it forever. Yes, it is easier said than done, but like most things unwanted in business circles, if you start to chip away, it will weaken exponentially and eventually die a natural death.

Now you are probably thinking: ‘so how is this done?

First of all revamping your mindset on the matter and adopting a modern practical approach which is all but guaranteed, in the medium to long term, to turn cold calls not into ‘warm calls’ but more precisely into ‘warm leads’.

Today, clever and powerful software platforms can do away forever with the dreaded cold call telephone script. It can do away with time consuming training that comes with it and it will certainly allow your sales staff to actually ‘sell’ rather than' prospect'.

We even do this for our own business. Rather than sit on the phone trying to open doors on a low percentage  cold calling basis, our software uses our content to draw-in potential customers that are already prepared to deal with us.

Becuase of Google the customer has the power, not us, becuase they can research us indpendently. So we make sure they have lots of ways to be educated in how we work and what we do, and a system where we can track all interested parties and know what they want before they reach us.

After all, they will be coming to us, not the other way around.
