Hello everyone, first of all i want to say thank you to coach @Mason Church for the guidance and the invitation to acquire the habit of making cold call no matter what. Since from that channel till now i had 0 sales I got a ton of feedback and information about myself as well. What 1,036 cold calls into dental practices actually produced. I need your read on this. I started calling on August 17. Roughly 30 working days, weekends excluded. Here is the honest version, numbers first. THE NUMBERS (measured by the dialer, not estimated) 1,036 dials 477 answered 64 owners reached 13 appointments set 3 no-shows 10 sales calls actually held 0 offers ~10 hours of real talk time Median conversation: 56 seconds. Average: 78 seconds. The longest ran 12 minutes and 15 seconds, with a dentist who had no reason to give me that time. That "0 offers" line is the one that matters. I work on the principle that the prospect should ask for the offer, not receive it. In 30 days exactly one person asked. He then no-showed the call where we were supposed to discuss it. MOTIVATION AND TONE The best thing here is not a metric. I showed up on days when I had zero desire to and zero short-term results to point at. It turned into a strange kind of comfort. I am reporting this because emotional state during the call is part of the equation, not a footnote. THE SCRIPT My first calls followed a fairly robotic script. It sounded suspicious on the other end, and it cost me lightness and momentum. 1,036 calls and 477 conversations is not a statistically solid sample, so treat this as an observation and not a finding: tone, vocal posture and social intelligence travel through the phone better than the words do. OBJECTION HANDLING This is the part I neglected, specifically the first 60 seconds of a cold conversation. I chose to show up as an expert who wants to help the business, rather than as someone selling with NLP tricks. I still think that choice was right. I also think it let me skip the actual work of handling the first objection.
