Just found this thread...and I used up all my "thanks" and shared it on my FB page...my friends are loving it.

OMG I cannot breathe and I'm crying. This was before I joined BHW and I am forever thankful that you shared that link. That is the best thing I've read in a while!

Be careful with that, you can come off creepy sounding...just be natural, smile when you would normally smile and talk or be serious when you would normally do that. Do this: Say "Our service supplies you with everything you'll need to reach your customer base." Do it with a smile... Then do...

Cold emails don't normally work...because: 1) Unless they gave you the correct email address you are sending it to their "default" email for the business. 2) IF you got a real email address, and they don't know you, or weren't expecting it, it went into the Spam folder, or they put it there...

Keep dialing...and if you are able, use a targeted list. Other than that, read up a little, try different approaches, always speak conversationally, and relax...they are just people like you.

1) Stop telling people how much money you have, because they will try to sell you something (their method) for anything up to that price. 2) Read, research, and TRY things...that you can do without spending any of that money. There are plenty of people that have made a good living (and much...

Some of these answers are hilarious. Want a system? Get off here, pick up the phone, and ask for the person you need to speak to, either by name or by title...if you get resistance, hang up and dial the next number. Do this all day, for a week...you will get results. You're welcome.

NO...you NEVER give your name and company until you get to the DM (decision maker). If you go giving the gatekeeper your information she is going to know WHO you are every time you call and you will never get to the DM...you're telling her who NOT to put through. This is the difference in...

No, that is a waste of time. You just need to keep calling. Your pitch will get better as you talk to more people. My suggestion is that you need to stop with the analogies and tell them what they will GET out of you doing their site. - more views - more customers Offer to send them a...

Cold calling works for sure. I've been doing it for almost a decade now...so if it didn't work, I'd be out of business. If you stink at it (or don't like it), you can either learn how to do it right and effectively, by having a professional train you. Or you can do what you know how to do and...

We still do cold calling (have for 10 years)...and while there are ways to get past a gatekeeper, walking into a business trying to do so isn't the best way to make money for yourself. See my answer above, as to why it's a waste of time. It's also completely different in person than over the...

Why don't you save yourself some time and call and make an appointment? It always amazes me how people think that cold WALKING is more effective. Like they are going to somehow see you and think "oh, I need to talk to this guy and I need his service." No, they are just going to do the exact...

I live by this...and I am always stunned at how right it is. We turn many people down that we don't want to work with before they even pay us...these people are ALWAYS even more rude when you say you don't want to work with them. "Well, I was going to pay you, but if you are going to be...

I am a female...not a boy, and the methods you discussed are not offline. As someone that solely does offline marketing and has for 10 years, I assure you, my mind is open. You should also be less of a smart a$& when someone points out that you are, in fact, wrong. Offline methods are methods...

It should be a minimum of 500 a week if you expect to make a living.
