One Month Doing Cold Calling

[chrisgjim]

Your calling 500 people per day and do it in 4 hours, I don't think so. It is impossible to call 125 people per hour and not have at least one person that will talk to you on the phone

Why are you asking for their social over the phone? You mentioned Transamerica, they do not allow phone sales. You are going to have to see these people for signatures anyway.

You do realize that this is the 21st century don't you? Who in their right mind would give a complete stranger their SSN over the phone? Set appointments and sell face-to-face.

Yes, but he is selling final expense and a product that is not approved for phone sales. He is going to have to see them in person. Also, he is obviously struggling with the trust issue, so why create another problem?
