What Cold Calling Taught Me and Why I don't do it anymore.

What Cold Calling Taught Me and Why I don't do it anymore.

"Hey, Diane. This is Michele. How's it going?" Sound familiar? If you've said those words before, you most likely have done cold calling. I went through high level training and the pain of it "sort of went away". And yes, maybe I grew thick skin. It taught me something that took me by surprise. It catapulted me into a direction I didn't see coming.

It taught me that I did not want to call leads and beg for their lousy tire kicker business. I remember calling a hundred people a day and barely getting to talk to one or maybe five. On a good day I might have even talked to ten people. What I found even worse is that they usually didn't want to talk to me. They lied that they had requested information. They wanted to know where I got their number, and acted as if they had no idea how their name got out.

I held my posture, I walked them through a perfect opportunity. 95% of them were not switched on enough to see good thing when it came knocking. They were skeptics and didn't see value in much. Maybe they were waiting to win the lottery. I know people who are extremely successful at cold calling. They only build a business by talking to strangers who avoid their calls. I found out - it was not for me. I wanted more.

If it weren't for this experience, I wouldn't have improved my posture and mindset so quickly. I learned how to talk to people without lead depravation oozing out of my mouth. I was coaching with one of the industry's best mentors. He said, "It's time to generate your own leads." No more buying leads again. That was it.

Cold calling taught me to find a better way. I searched for a way that would allow my husband and me to work on the internet. I looked up "attraction marketing" and that changed it all. I wanted to generate my own leads. I wanted people to attract people who asked me to personally call them. I wanted to talk to smart qualified leads.

A road that winds is always uncertain. But if followed with certainty, it will surely lead you down the perfect path. I learned how to use internet marketing in combination with attraction marketing and leads come easily to me. I have found a system that has pleasantly surprised me. I plug into training that keeps me informed of how to be an internet marketing expert. It shows me step by step how generate thousands of leads at a fraction of the cost I used to pay for high quality I bought from someone else.

Our business will never be the same. We can work with smart qualified leads who are interested in working with us. Thank you cold calling. Thank you to the mentors who said expect more. We found what we were looking for, a perfect match to quality business partners. We now show others how to generate their own leads. Expect more. You will find it.

About The Author


Guy Luminato
(Visit Guy's Website) We are a husband and wife team who were at the end of our rope. We had given up our six figure jobs to start a brick and mortar business and invested upwards of a quarter of a million dollars to end up with absolutely nothing at the end of a seven year push.

We had to pay off debts, and start over with virtually nothing to stand on. All we wanted was to work at home so we could raise our kids and work from anywhere in the world.

We searched for the answers on the internet. We found it! At first we were a bit skeptical and after doing our due diligence we realized that we had found an education platform that would allow us to learn, earn and turn our dreams into reality.

We ordered the system and went to work as it instructed. We had results immediately. It was simple, easy, and we could learn how to market anything, to anyone, anywhere in the world using the internet.

We haven't looked back. We have been extremely fortunate to find something that can educate us and set us up for life. We are passionate about sharing our knowledge with others who are looking for big changes in their life. If our articles, and story resonate with you, see for yourself if this will work for you by going to www.WealthCreationT emplate.com   &n bsp; www.WhyGptBeatsMLM. com

We now work from home, and work anywhere in the world so that we can be with family and friends. Guy Luminato is born to Italian parents and raised in Melbourne, Australia. Michele Luminato was born and raised in Billings, Montana.
