Be a down to earth guy. If they feel like you're a telemarketer they won't even let you finish your sentence.

The first few hundred calls are gonna suck.

A few tips:
- go straight to the point, "the reason Im calling is i sell x product"
- have respect for their time. "If this is a bad time could I contact you later"
- get an email address, "Could I send you an email about x and you can take a look when you have time?"

Any time you get a hostile response, just apologize and move on.

Easy. Use catch phrases like "what if I told you..."
"Sir, you owe it to yourself" another good one is "a deal of a lifetime".
A personal favorite "The time is now don't let this opportunity pass you by"

Try not to be robotic. It can be difficult after you pitch 20 times and everyone says "no interested, bye". But remember there are real people on the other end of the phone. Real people that will respond to the slightest tone change or wording difference. It can be emotionally draining, but keep fighting on.

It depends on what you're selling but the average saying in sales is out of 10 people 3 will be interested and 1 will be a sale. I find that's a bit optimistic if you're doing cold calls. It's probably more like out of 20 people 3 will be interested and 1 will buy but it could be just me.

Have a script to help you if you're lost (don't read it tho) you should put yourself in the prospect head and give the informations that he wants to know: what who where when at what price etc. Do not forget that businesses get a lot of these calls and that ppl who really need a service would actually help you in the process of selling it to them. Don't be that annoying harassing guy, do not be that "door to door vaccum seller" type of guy do not be that "ill sell my balls for a quick return aka used car dealer that looks like a cheap mafia type of guy". If you are nervous over the phone, smile while talking and try to picture the person that you are calling naked and/ or taking a dump (seriously). Stay calm and professionnal in every situation. You should be fine.

I used to smoke weed when I worked a call center for my school, asking for donations from alumni. A little bit of weed took the edge off and made being chatty easier. Too much made it harder to talk and made me forget my game plan (emotionally manipulate the graduates by talking to them about their college experiences and then working our donation request into that)

Remember that every phone call is a new one. The person answering doesn't know you've just had 20 calls, so sound like you just picked up the phone.

Open up asking them how they're going. Get them to speak. Be really upfront about who you are, and what your purpose is.

I personally like asking questions. It gets people involved, and it avoids having them sit there listening to you talk for ages.

Keep you script short and simple. Don't go too much into detail, but give a good round off of the benefits are and what your purpose is.
