--> 00:00:06,080 +today's clip is from a call earlier last + +4 +00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:06,640 +week + +5 +00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,080 +with the business owner who's + +6 +00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:09,679 +implementing the strategy of cold + +7 +00:00:09,679 --> 00:00:11,040 +calling in his business + +8 +00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:13,679 +and he was struggling to understand why + +9 +00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:15,360 +when he tried to cold sell + +10 +00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:16,640 +that is you know get on the phone with + +11 +00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,400 +someone through a cold call and try to + +12 +00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:19,840 +sell to them directly + +13 +00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,560 +it wasn't working the way he wanted we + +14 +00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,320 +went over the concept of the difference + +15 +00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:25,920 +between cold calling + +16 +00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,960 +and cold selling here's a clip + +17 +00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,880 +i understand what you mean um what i'm + +18 +00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,320 +curious to know is i i know you + +19 +00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:33,280 +mentioned you're you're + +20 +00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,280 +struggling with cold calling but are you + +21 +00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,440 +cold calling or are you cold selling + +22 +00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,000 +okay let me explain so cold calling is + +23 +00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,200 +simply the process of calling someone + +24 +00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,719 +you don't know it's it's calling someone + +25 +00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:44,480 +who's a cold contact someone you've + +26 +00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:45,600 +you've never had a previous touch point + +27 +00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,680 +with cold selling on the other hand is a + +28 +00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,280 +subset of cold calling where in addition + +29 +00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:50,640 +to calling someone you don't know + +30 +00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:51,920 +you're actually trying to sell them + +31 +00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,000 +something so in in the situation you + +32 +00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:54,480 +describe + +33 +00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:55,840 +what you're struggling with is it + +34 +00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,680 +specifically called calling or is it is + +35 +00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:58,800 +it code selling + +36 +00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,640 +okay yeah that's that that's that's sort + +37 +00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,879 +of what i thought um so what i what i'd + +38 +00:01:02,879 --> 00:01:03,680 +suggest is + +39 +00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,040 +leaning more towards cold calling than + +40 +00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,880 +cold selling now cold selling is + +41 +00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,520 +is it's a completely different beast and + +42 +00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,119 +i'm fairly certain no one likes + +43 +00:01:11,119 --> 00:01:12,960 +getting cold cold calls that are called + +44 +00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:14,479 +sales whereas people + +45 +00:01:14,479 --> 00:01:16,159 +will frequently enjoy cold calls if they + +46 +00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:18,080 +create value for them so what i mean by + +47 +00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:18,720 +that is + +48 +00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,720 +when you're cold calling the fundamental + +49 +00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,320 +focus should be to build a relationship + +50 +00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:22,880 +with the person + +51 +00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,640 +you're you're you're contacting to + +52 +00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,000 +understand them to qualify + +53 +00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,600 +them not to sell them you don't want to + +54 +00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,200 +sell to them in that first cold call + +55 +00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,040 +now there are some rare circumstances + +56 +00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,479 +where what you're selling + +57 +00:01:32,479 --> 00:01:34,479 +you know exactly that that person is is + +58 +00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:36,240 +someone who's interested but most most + +59 +00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:36,799 +cases + +60 +00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:38,560 +those are warm calls those are people + +61 +00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,560 +have opted in they're part of some list + +62 +00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,560 +they have they have they've taken some + +63 +00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,320 +action to indicate that they want + +64 +00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:46,000 +to be sold that product which doesn't + +65 +00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,200 +make them cold anymore it makes them + +66 +00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,799 +warm or you know lukewarm or + +67 +00:01:48,799 --> 00:01:50,000 +however you want to you you want to + +68 +00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000 +classify it but when it comes to cold + +69 +00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,280 +calling when you're first reaching out + +70 +00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,399 +to a prospect they don't know anything + +71 +00:01:54,399 --> 00:01:54,960 +about you + +72 +00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,000 +they don't know what your product is + +73 +00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,119 +they don't know what your services they + +74 +00:01:57,119 --> 00:01:58,240 +don't know what your offer is + +75 +00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,759 +you don't even know if if they're + +76 +00:01:59,759 --> 00:02:01,360 +qualified to purchase your product or + +77 +00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:01,840 +service + +78 +00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,240 +you should not be trying to sell to them + +79 +00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,000 +one one fantastic example my + +80 +00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,080 +sales coach used to give me was think of + +81 +00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,520 +you know when you go out on a date when + +82 +00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,560 +you go out for your first date what + +83 +00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:11,920 +would happen if you asked the person to + +84 +00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:13,280 +if you propose to the person you know + +85 +00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,200 +you had a great hour two three + +86 +00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,480 +hour long date and then all of a sudden + +87 +00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,239 +you get down on one knee and propose + +88 +00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:20,160 +right what what would they think yeah + +89 +00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,840 +you're right you probably get some + +90 +00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:22,640 +strange looks and + +91 +00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:23,680 +there's a high probability you'll + +92 +00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,360 +probably never hear from that person + +93 +00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:25,840 +again + +94 +00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,599 +it's a similar experience when you're + +95 +00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:29,120 +trying to cold sell to someone you just + +96 +00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:29,680 +cold called + +97 +00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,200 +right you have just introduced yourself + +98 +00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,720 +they just became aware of + +99 +00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:33,920 +of who you are before they had an + +100 +00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:34,879 +opportunity to learn more about your + +101 +00:02:34,879 --> 00:02:35,760 +product or your service + +102 +00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,200 +you're trying to propose to them you're + +103 +00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,200 +trying to get them to give you + +104 +00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,560 +their money right which from from a + +105 +00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,560 +business perspective is very similar + +106 +00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,319 +to you know when when a life partner + +107 +00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:46,400 +says yes now a lot of people don't cover + +108 +00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,440 +this but i mean + +109 +00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:48,640 +i don't want to go into too much depth + +110 +00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:50,319 +on it but essentially the reality of the + +111 +00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:52,080 +situation is is it's much harder + +112 +00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,440 +to end a business relationship than it + +113 +00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:54,959 +is to end a marriage it's unfortunate + +114 +00:02:54,959 --> 00:02:55,599 +that's how it is + +115 +00:02:55,599 --> 00:02:56,959 +but that's the reality of it right so + +116 +00:02:56,959 --> 00:02:58,400 +when you when you cold call someone and + +117 +00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,440 +you're attempting to + +118 +00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:00,480 +sell to them instantly on the phone + +119 +00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:01,920 +you've spoken to them maybe 90 seconds + +120 +00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:02,879 +and you get your pitch in + +121 +00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:03,920 +it's a high chance it's not going to + +122 +00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:05,280 +work because it's not a good experience + +123 +00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:06,959 +because for that customer's perspective + +124 +00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:08,640 +they see you as just chasing the money + +125 +00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:10,400 +they see you as not really focused on on + +126 +00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:11,599 +delivering value and i know there are + +127 +00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:12,640 +some exceptions and there are people out + +128 +00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:13,280 +there that are + +129 +00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,400 +exceptionally good at it and there's + +130 +00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,680 +specific services and products that + +131 +00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:16,800 +might be a good fit for it + +132 +00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,840 +but fundamentally speaking overall cold + +133 +00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,760 +calling is about calling someone you've + +134 +00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:22,879 +never spoken to + +135 +00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:24,319 +and building a relationship with them + +136 +00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:25,680 +doing the foundations of that + +137 +00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:26,319 +relationship + +138 +00:03:26,319 --> 00:03:27,840 +rather than trying to sell to them does + +139 +00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,000 +that make sense yeah i i understand what + +140 +00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,760 +you mean it can it can be very time + +141 +00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,000 +consuming but if you focus on shifting + +142 +00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,200 +you know cold calls from trying to get a + +143 +00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,799 +sale what you'll start to find is people + +144 +00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:37,920 +are going to be more engaged because the + +145 +00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,280 +types of conversation you have + +146 +00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,400 +you're not going to be rushing to get + +147 +00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,599 +them to a point where they say yes or no + +148 +00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:42,400 +to buy your stuff + +149 +00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,519 +and then you try and get them on the + +150 +00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:45,200 +phone it's genius people know people can + +151 +00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,640 +pick up on it i'm sure you've received + +152 +00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,000 +calls and within the first five or ten + +153 +00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,120 +seconds ago this guy's going to sell me + +154 +00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:49,760 +something + +155 +00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,360 +i'm just not interested right whereas if + +156 +00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,480 +you get a call about someone trying to + +157 +00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:53,680 +show interest in you trying trying to + +158 +00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:54,640 +understand hey you know what + +159 +00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,879 +i i saw on your website you guys do seo + +160 +00:03:56,879 --> 00:03:58,000 +can you tell me a little bit more + +161 +00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,920 +about about that if they start to + +162 +00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:01,760 +qualify themselves if they start to + +163 +00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,560 +assess in that cold call is this someone + +164 +00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:05,920 +i need to sell my product or service to + +165 +00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,040 +it creates a fundamentally + +166 +00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,239 +better experience and the same will + +167 +00:04:08,239 --> 00:04:09,920 +happen if you focus on creating a + +168 +00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,040 +similar experience for you + +169 +00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,120 +for your potential clients when you cold + +170 +00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,480 +call them right so + +171 +00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,399 +the objective of a cold call i think the + +172 +00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:17,918 +best objective to have from a cold call + +173 +00:04:17,918 --> 00:04:18,238 +is + +174 +00:04:18,238 --> 00:04:20,798 +to set up another call a a longer call + +175 +00:04:20,798 --> 00:04:22,479 +maybe 15 minutes 20 minutes half an hour + +176 +00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:23,440 +or an hour if + +177 +00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,520 +if it's the right fit but that first + +178 +00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,040 +call is literally just to validate + +179 +00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,479 +qualify is this is this person a + +180 +00:04:28,479 --> 00:04:29,520 +potential customer + +181 +00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,000 +if they are a potential customer what + +182 +00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,000 +sort of services or products that i have + +183 +00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:34,720 +will they need + +184 +00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,400 +and to what extent will the amount of + +185 +00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,000 +value i create to them need to be + +186 +00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,120 +integrated in their business + +187 +00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,880 +what i mean by that is a lot of times + +188 +00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,400 +the products or services or what you + +189 +00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:43,040 +offer + +190 +00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,280 +need to be customized for that specific + +191 +00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:47,040 +business just a little bit + +192 +00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,320 +in that cold call what you want to do is + +193 +00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,160 +you want to assess how sophisticated are + +194 +00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,759 +they as a customer where do they fall + +195 +00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:52,800 +within the + +196 +00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,639 +the the target customers that you have + +197 +00:04:54,639 --> 00:04:56,160 +do they have money to buy your services + +198 +00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,000 +you don't want to spend three weeks + +199 +00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,040 +going through a sales process with + +200 +00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,160 +someone who fundamentally + +201 +00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,960 +can't buy from you right so that first + +202 +00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:03,280 +call + +203 +00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:05,680 +is really about just assessing is this + +204 +00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:06,800 +someone i want to build a relationship + +205 +00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:07,199 +with + +206 +00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:08,400 +you want to build relationships with + +207 +00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,600 +customers that have money that are + +208 +00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:10,960 +eligible to buy your services right you + +209 +00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,080 +don't want to build relationships + +210 +00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,759 +with people that are fun that you know + +211 +00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:15,039 +that that's a personal thing that has + +212 +00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:16,080 +nothing to do with your business + +213 +00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,520 +right so when you're cold calling what i + +214 +00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,120 +would encourage you to do is + +215 +00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,840 +focus on really trying to identify and + +216 +00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:23,440 +understand that that customer learn more + +217 +00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:24,479 +about their business + +218 +00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:26,000 +right learn more about if your product + +219 +00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,680 +or service is a good fit and if it's not + +220 +00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,280 +no harm no foul just you know you can + +221 +00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:30,720 +you can end the call right there be like + +222 +00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,160 +you know what i really appreciate you + +223 +00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,600 +use uh spending some time to explain + +224 +00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,919 +your business um this is what i do i + +225 +00:05:35,919 --> 00:05:36,800 +don't think it's a + +226 +00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,240 +it's a right fit give them give them an + +227 +00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,000 +opportunity to to say yes or no but + +228 +00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:40,880 +fundamentally most people will + +229 +00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,160 +appreciate that most people will enjoy + +230 +00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,440 +that because it's so different + +231 +00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,440 +from all the other cold selling cold + +232 +00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:46,800 +calls that they get right so + +233 +00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,280 +again i suggest focusing on cold calling + +234 +00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:50,720 +rather than coal selling and i'm sure + +235 +00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,160 +what you'll you'll start to see is + +236 +00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,080 +is a difference in in your motivation + +237 +00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,600 +and a difference in the way the + +238 +00:05:55,600 -->
