"Follow up until one of you dies"
I made a post asking how long I should continue to follow up with someone before just giving up. Giulio commented something like "keep calling until one of you dies". And it's still the best advice I've gotten in regards to sales! After TWO YEARS of reaching out to a contact regularly, and getting pushed off every time, I finally got the sale today!!! I had actually just spoke to my contact last week and he pushed me off again, but the next day he reached out and put me in touch with the owner. And he put in a good word for me to the owner, making my job of selling my services that much easier. Just wanted to share the importance of following up regularly (and for eternity lol) with contacts and standing out so when they do have a need, you're the first person they think to reach out to. If nothing else, this should give you hope when you call a contact for the 800th time and get turned down or pushed off for the 800th time-- it'll turn into something... eventually!

The fast "I'm not interested"-Response
If a lead answers on the skript: "other people from your industry tell me that they face problem A or problem B, but if you tell me that you have already the perfect solution for A or B, then I'll stop spending your time and you ' ll never hear from me again" with - not interested After reasking the not interested response and getting an answer like "not interested in any solution at all", what would you do to keep the conversation ongoing?

How to deal with the question "what is it about" ... from the secretary
If discretion is very important within the process/business and you are given a phone number from the "gatekeeper"-assistent, but yet are only allowed to talk to the CEO / Boss, how would you "overcome" him/her, with the attention to connect you with the CEO?
A Question of Procedure
How would you structure the cold call, if the potential customer first needs to sign an Non-Disclosure-Agreement before receiving any detailled information?

OK I'll try to get it as clear as possible: M&A Consulting is about finding companies who want to sell an companies who want to buy a company. As a consultant / broker / advisor what ever you want to call yourself, your task is to find those matching companies who want to merge together or buy someone's company. Now comes the tricky part: Discretion is the most important factor when someone is trying to sell his company or someone wants to buy it. For the process that means, if you have a company to sell and you find someone who could be interested in it, you can provide him with an anonymous teaser that describes the selling company with a view words and numbers, but neither with the full name, nor with any deep diving details, otherwise, in the worst case, they don't need you as a middlesman, but especially the company who goes public with its selling process risks to loose its employees. Nevertheless as a middlesman, you want to make a market and gather as many interested buyers as possible. Which means, either you put up some anonymous ads on some m&a websites or you get proactive and try to find buyers by contacting them directly. And that leads me to underdog sales. That's why I am here. Cause I want to find a way of how to cold call those people under this circumstances in order to get them into the process. Hope I've declared my problem now 😅

Thanks Steven! That helps a lot
Do you prepare yourself?
Hello, beautiful cold callers! We’ve breached the 2,000 members mark! Awesome job 😀 Tip of the week: Have a warm up routine before you call. The first few calls will always be a bit rusty. Do some roleplays (even alone) and practice your opener and pitch at least 5 times. The chances of you screwing up your first call will drop by at least 69%. If you have other things to get you in the mood, go for that as well! Reminders for everyone: 1. Post your struggles The Forum, and frame them as open questions for more answers. 2. The human brains learn best by discussing or teaching; give your opinion! 3. The more you engage, the more free stuff you’ll get in the Classroom. If you want direct access to me and more personalised coaching, join the Elite Community.
