Hey @Uncle Jimmy Mitchell I see a lot of agency owners trying to hire people from places like the Philippines, India, Africa, etc. The logic is that these reps speak good English, have a decent accent, and can hold a conversation. But here’s the concern: - Does it actually make sense to hire and train them for cold calling if they’re only on commission? - Cold calling is tough — business owners get calls daily, and just following a script with good English isn’t enough. - Motivation can drop quickly, and if they quit, all the time and training invested goes to waste. So, what’s your take?👉 Does this model even work long term?👉 How would you approach building a reliable cold calling team?

Do any of you guys have problems with lead generation, project management, sales and administration and how do you guys solve those problems?

I know it depends but I just want to get a ballpark

When do you guys usually find the best time to cold call is? For me if I call during work hours my prospects are usually on site and don't have time for a pitch, but then if I call after work hours I get a lot of voicemails or people telling me they'd rather talk later because they just finished work

My name is Jorel, I’m 19 years old and recently started going down the path of SMMA in June. I have been making progress month by month and have outsourced a white-label agency to provide services for clients. I am currently niched in HVAC. However, I have still yet to find a client. I have done about 159 calls already, with about 26 calls resulting in sending an email to the owner. The calls are usually spent getting the owner on the line, or their contact information and providing information about some critical issues in their online presence (GMB, not secure Websites, broken links, etc.) and ways to solve the issues. I have had a few leads who were interested initially but were no longer interested. I am looking for feedback if I am doing something my wrong, if I need to improve my process, or just rethink about how I am approaching this business model. I am also having second thoughts about HVAC niche too. Any advice or criticism is greatly appreciated! Also, please feel free to ask for more context, or general information that will help you get a better understanding.
