QUOTES
01:27 Collin: "Using the phone alone will not work anymore. You want to use other channels to warm up the calls and have a reason for calling."
01:43 Collin: "Ed and I have been doing live cold calls on LinkedIn and last week. We did a day's worth of prospecting in 60 minutes, thanks to our partner MonsterConnect and we had very good data provided to us by CloudLead. And what happened in that 60 minute dial session is we had over 25 conversations. We got a couple of referrals of who we should be talking to, ad we booked three meetings in 60 minutes."
02:56 Collin: "Your mindset is huge as well. If you go into it with this mindset of 'Cold calling is dead', 'People don't pick up the phone', and 'This sucks' then, yeah, people aren't going to pick up the phone. It's gonna suck and you're not going to book any meetings."
