Show Notes
Last year I decided to push myself and try something new for me and my business. As a founder and mum of 2, I don't have time to be out there relationship building rather than selling.
So I tried cold sales - and it worked!
Cold sales have, sometimes justifiably, a bad rap - I'm sharing my worst experiences from both sides of the sale. But it really worked for me. In this episode I share my conversion rates, my 'how to' and the mindset tips that helped me succeed.
