The Jump-start OutboundCalling Process
What should you consider what I have to say?
Author DanaAbramsonIf you subscribe to bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell’s theory that it takes at least 10,000 hours of practice, plus talent, to achieve mastery — I’ve achieved mastery. I have spent, on average, two hours per workday for the last 26 years making unsolicited phone calls — cold calls — introducing products, services, and causes with the purpose of educating business consumers. I take pride in the work I do and feel privileged to have the opportunity to represent; inventors, developers, advocates, entrepreneurs and businesses that have a compelling message to share.
Throughout my career, more than 30 years, I’ve helped my clients identify strategies that achieve their desired performance improvement goals. Whether they’re trying to acquire a loyal customer base, encourage steps-to-the-sale initiatives for their channel partners, or motivate a sales team, I’ve helped design strategies that cover all. What I focus on is simple: proving ROI and accelerating growth. How we get there is up to you, your audience, and your business and culture.
