Going to post here every day I call(at least three days a week) until February 1 and share my results, on top of these. I called other 15 businesses with no results. It was a bit slow today, but I should be able to get a lot more calls done in a day than now as I get more experience

Hi everyone, what do you think of this opener? "“Hey Dr. Steve, this is John. I’ll be straight with you — this is a cold call, but I promise it’s worth 30 seconds. We help chiropractors turn missed calls into booked patients, increase 5-star reviews, and reduce no-shows — all automatically with no workload on your end. Can I tell you how it works?”"

Real Conversation from yesterday: Prospect: Hi, this is Megan. Me: Hi Megan! Umm... If I told you this is a cold call, would you want to throw your phone out the car window? (I could tell she was driving.) Prospect: Probably... Me: Haha, so is it the cold calls you hate, or is my voice a bit cringy? Prospect: It’s the calls... but what do you have? Me: I’ll take just 30 seconds. If I bore you, feel free to hang up. Sound fair? Prospect: Fair. Me: (Short pitch) Prospect: Oh, I actually sold that business, so I wouldn’t be interested. Me: Oh, congrats! I hope the sale went smoothly and was a win-win for everyone. Can I ask one last question before I let you go? Prospect: Thank you! Sure, go ahead. Me: Did you happen to start another business where this might still be relevant? Prospect: No, no. I started doing tattoos instead, so it’s not really relevant. Me: Oh wow, that’s cool! You know, I’ve never had the courage to get a tattoo. Maybe I should—what do you think? Haha. Prospect: Haha, yes, you should! I know a great artist! Me: Haha, I’ll keep that in mind. One last question and then I’ll let you go, is that okay? Prospect: Go ahead. Me: Do you happen to have any friends from your previous business who might find this relevant? Or maybe someone you dislike enough to send an annoying cold caller to? Haha. Prospect: Haha... Hmm... (pauses for 10 seconds) Not really. I don’t think anyone I know would be interested. Sorry. Me: No pressure at all. I appreciate you taking a second to think about it. Before I let you go, one final question—let me know if I’m overstepping. Prospect: Sure, what is it? Me: Do you happen to have the contact information for the person you sold the business to? Prospect: You know what? I actually do. Hold on a second, let me pull over. Me: (Shocked but staying cool) Oh, sure! Let me grab a pen quickly. (Pretending to shuffle papers.) Prospect: His name is Alex, and here’s his number... Me: (Repeats it back) Would you be against if I mention that we spoke and you referred me?

Hi there, got to talk to many clients and I see that many people are simply out of office or just chilling. Know many business owners personally that just don't take anymore work this month. Do you think it is a goo time to call as they might be more relaxed? Also there are many holidays, so I am thinking to call until 20th of December. I think after that on Monday it is already one day before Christmas Eve, so not sure if it even makes sense to call. For the rest of the month not sure either weather it is worth calling or no, as after Christmas there are just a business days until New Year.

First days of cold calling: can't get past the front desk, and they tell me they're not interested without even hearing my pitch. What do we think, what do we do, and how do we avoid getting discouraged? Haha!
