I cold call for a living
I remember avoiding it all day, doing anything but dialing
Now, I’m up at 4:30am talking until 5pm
Caffeinated like a mf.
Mouth parched
Working because my rent is due
Some real killers out there, soon I’ll be up there
Just my first year doing this tbh
Crazy how fast you can progress if you stick with it and give it so much of yourself
19 interviews booked in 9 days across 3 clients.
One has never sold anything in tech.
One is a senior SDR stacking wins.
One is a software engineer who just booked his first SE interview on day 1.
Different people. Different goals. Same system.
Called the same office twice
(Double tap)
First GK clicked on me after my pitch
Second GK gave me company insight, email, and time to call decision maker next week
Not a demo but now I’m ready with much more data for my next convo
Reminds me that many times it’s just wrong person at the wrong time
You cannot be a billionaire without improving the lives of many people in one form or another
More money = more value created
Bro typed this on his iPhone which holds trillions in assets
Stupid take
Depends on expenses
Living in Los Angeles area, it’s the start of being able to pay bills ahead of time, paying down debt, and thinking about taking care of needs you were pushing off
This is exactly how I structure my day managing W2, 1099, and business venture
My highest leverage task for these rolls is going to be cold calling and securing demos set
So I split my day from 5am - 5pm on making calls in chunks of 3 hours each
Focusing on nothing else and worry about all the extras outside of the golden hours aka cold calling hours
For my W2 as a BDR
Just had my 1 on 1
I asked where else I can pull leads from and she gave me answers that made me absolutely sure I have exhausted all internal resources
It’s now time to start hitting trigger event finding, turn on Google alerts, automate LinkedIn sequences again
Every stone will be turned
