Got my first sales call hang up today

Doing some direct domain sales and got the cold shoulder...how evil, they could have just said not interested. We were even talking by email...how rude.

All companies that might be interested, I approach large or small. I send an email first and then call on phone as sometimes I find I get a better more direct response.

Nature of the beast, cold calling is a numbers game.
The key is not to take it personally, quickly move on to the next one

I find its therapeutic to at least pick up the fone sometimes and cut out all the bullshit emails.

I think i'd prefer an email regarding domains, seeing the word in print often helps and it takes up less time to look through a bunch of names on paper.

On a slightly different note, is anyone else having phone calls from companies selling what amounts to packaged adwords/adsense bundles recently? I've been having them every couple of days for about 3 weeks now ! I dont like hanging up but theyre taking the mick

I probably get told to F*ck Off 10+ times a day take it on the chin and dont let it get to you. It motivates me to call more people and get more sales!

That's uncanny, I too get told to F*ck Off 10+ times a day, and that's without phoning anybody!
