Finally Facing the Fear of Cold Calling ๐Ÿ˜…
After months of putting off cold calling, I finally decided to take the plunge this year. I canโ€™t even describe the anxiety of picking up the phoneโ€”but I know some of you can relate. Right now, Iโ€™m starting small with just five calls a day to push past the fear. At the end of the day, I know itโ€™s just a numbers game, and the real goal is to build resilience. ๐Ÿ˜… For those of you whoโ€™ve been through thisโ€”how many calls did it take before you stopped feeling that pre-dial anxiety? Whether it was the night before or minutes before hitting dial, when did it start feeling โ€œnormalโ€?

@Shane Sk You're spot on! I suppose for me its the imposter syndrome that kicks in but I guess I gotta step into bigger shoes in order to learn how to walk in them. First week of cold calling overall was difficult but it is slightly getting easier so hopefully it'll be downhill from here

@Ryan Lynch The first few calls felt like a complete disasterโ€”but once I was actually on the phone, I was fine. Iโ€™m generally a social person and pretty decent on calls, but imposter syndrome, the fear of being intrusive, and maybe even rejection had me on edge. In my first week of cold calling, I only made about five calls a day. I didnโ€™t sign any new clients, but I did book three meetings, which gave me the motivation to keep pushing. Next week, Iโ€™ll. be gradually increasing my call volume, and overall, Iโ€™m feeling much better about it. The fear is still there, but definitely less than it was last week!
Introduction + Question to you all! ๐Ÿ‘€
No 'ME' posts allowed except this one so I'll keep it brief! I run a Meta marketing agency specialising in lead generation services for home improvement businesses across Ireland and the UK. I joined this community because I recognise the importance of mastering cold calls, though I have zero experience in sales. My biggest challenge right now is overcoming the fear of picking up the phone and actually making those first dials. ๐๐ฎ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง โคต๏ธ ๐—™๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜†๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ผโ€™๐˜€ ๐—ณ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฟ ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜€, ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป, ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ป๐—ถ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฝ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ต ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜…๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜† ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฑ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด?

@Stephen Orr Congrats man! After how many calls do you reckon your 'fear' of cold calls went away?

@Samuel Prลฏลกa Hey Samuel! Thanks a lot :) I'm actually thinking to even work part-time at a sales related role just to get some experience in talking to higher level individuals so I can break that barrier down! Will see how it goes!
