All right…check it out. I’m training a new cold caller today. I put together a killer script and in less than an hour, I get 3 appointments while showing her how to make the calls. I’m thinking “I am a rock star!” She’s thinking “He doesn’t need me.” So, I put her on the phone for her very first time. 30 minutes later, she gets me an appointment. I’m thinking “I’ve got TWO rock stars here. Me and her.” I’ve never seen someone with zero experience do as well as she does on the phone on her first day. Also, I’m gonna bang the phones for an hour a day, which I haven’t done since 2001.

Three appointments and hour! That sounds great!  Do you give lessons?

Most people don't have the guts to ask or say some of the things that I say/ask. I can't give a lesson on how to be me. Thanks for your nice comment.

I really like the line....

This is a sales call...  Would you like to hang up?

It has the opposite effect of every cold call that is adding people to the DNC everyday.  

Got any more of those?

You can make them up yourself. All you have to do is tell the truth and say something that they aren't expecting (like the truth).

Bobby,

I'm assuming your cold caller isn't licensed.  What have you found to work best for an unlicensed person to call about, because it obviously can't be product.

Thanks,

Bunny, there's no way in hell I would lift a finger to help you, after your smart assed comment on the other thread. You're the arrogant little pissant that has everything all figured out, figure out your own script.

Bobby does your cold caller have a nice pair of t!tties?   That’s pretty important.

Yes, she does. She looks a lot like my second wife.

If you listen closely you can hear them brushing against the desk.

Not having enough experience, I am not familiar with investment advice well enough to know what disturbs prospects.  Can you give some examples of what you would say if you were trying to pry information of a business owners past investment experience?

Look on TGP for Burt Mesiel’s “5 Ways”, great stuff that gets buesiness owners thinking about all kinds of issues.

"Mr. Prospect, I am sure that your investment strategy has done well in the past several years. TO be candid, everyone's has to a certain degree. Our team focuses more on reasonable growth with a heavy emphasis on risk management and downside protection.

In light of the current market environment, with indexes at or near all-time highs and the increased volatility of late, I would welcome the opportunity to visit with you and share some ideas as to how we are positioning our clients portfolios to weather any potential pullback in the market."

Wow, Bobby I can't believe a nice guy like you has already been through 2 wives.  I mean with your sweat personality I can't believe any woman would ever leave you.

2 wives? I never claimed to have been married more than once. I'm still on my first wife, but I already know what my second wife is gonna look like. My third wife hasn't been born yet.

Money is more important to me than "professionalism."
