Wherever your journey is taking you as an entrepreneur, you're going to need to drum up business at one point and as boring as it sounds, cold calling is the most effective and efficient, believe it or not. Well, one day I was sitting there frustrated over the fact that I was calling the same people over and over and after one sale ended, I was back to looking for the next. From there, I would set my expectations high, exceed the company's expectations and make the leaderboard, looking like a hero at the end of the month. As soon as the new month started, I was back to zero and had to do it all again. There had to be a better way.In this book, I teach you HOW TO MAKE MORE EFFECTIVE SALES CALLS.PLEASE BE SURE TO LEAVE US A COMMENT. THANKS!!!
I took a completely different approach when writing this installment of The Cold Call King. I held nothing back. No excuses, no fluff, and absolutely no sugarcoating. Too many people make excuses for themselves and it holds them back. This book is a swift kick in the ass for those that are success driven and need direction and drive to accomplish the goals they have set for themselves. I don't think there has ever been a business book so in your face and to the point as this one here.
Since releasing The Cold Call King in August 2018, we became a best-seller selling copies all over the world. Pre-orders for the book came literally minutes after offering it to the public. The book has been an instant success but the decades being down in the trenches as a business owner and sales person has given me the power to help others in my field. After personally speaking with hundreds of professionals that have read The Cold Call King, I got a lot of insight as to some other areas we could add to a future version of the book, further helping business professionals. This book does just that. It was designed to be your "little black book" you take everywhere as a business professional or sales person. Use it every single day. Track your activity. Open it as much as you can and use it. PLEASE BE SURE TO LEAVE US A COMMENT. THANKS!!!
Most salespeople lose the deal before they ever get started! It isn't uncommon for the customer to have already made a decision before most salespeople even learn of the opportunity. Most salespeople have to beat the preferred competitor by a significant margin just to be considered equivalent. Don't you wish that you could be the preferred vendor in all of your opportunities? Selling is a difficult career in which to make a living; it is not uncommon to have the commission check denied before the salesperson even gets a chance to win. Analysis of thousands of sales situations has made it phenomenally obvious that most salespeople begin their sales campaign so late in the decision-making process that they are virtually guaranteed to lose the order. To make matters worse, when they do start the campaign early enough, most salespeople do not know how to control the prospect adequately so that they can guarantee their victory. Typical turnover for a sales department is 10-20%. Many companies see turnover that approaches 40-60%! This turnover costs them 50% of their revenue-generating capability. In any organization that exceeds 25% turnover, the loss of trust with the customer can be astounding as the new salesperson tries to rebuild the entire relationship. In any given quarter dozens or hundreds of companies do not make their forecasted numbers and are dramatically punished by Wall Street. This book will provide the management of a company with a framework to teach their salespeople how to attain their quotas with higher profits. It will also allow salespeople to rise to the top of their organization and be the super-achievers who win awards, trips, bonuses, and respect. In this book, I will show you how to eliminate your competition and maximize your commission.
There's a good reason that Inc. magazine named Chuck Piola the "king of cold calls." In less than 20 years, Piola turned a family business into a global colossus with thousands of employees and over one billion dollars in revenue, eventually becoming the largest company in its field. He built the foundation for this sensational growth by "going in cold"-walking in doors and telling his story. Having made over 15,000 cold calls, confronted fear and rejection, and closed more than 3,000 deals, Piola probably knows more about face-to-face selling than any other sales professional on earth. Now he's packaged that know-how into a page-turning, action-packed book that is inspiring, instructive, and quite humorous. Co-authored by former Inc. senior writer Jay Finegan, Going in Cold captures Piola's tactics and techniques in a brisk, entertaining style.

I'm one of those people who hates cold calling, and so having read Bruce's book, I now know why I've been averse to it and what I can do about it. The book is so much more than just cold calling though, it is a step-by-step through the entire sales and referral process. If you are brand new to sales, this book needs to be your bible. If you are a seasoned traveller, there will still be some nuggets for you too - after all, we all slip into bad habits and a refresher never hurt anyone" Ann Andrews - The Corporate Toolbox "I've known Bruce King for at least 20 years, and can tell you that he always produces material that actually works in the real world and increases your sales and bottom line. This book should not only be part of every salesperson's arsenal, but ought to be in every single business in the UK, not just one copy but one for everyone. Highly recommended!" Ron G Holland - Author of The Eureka! Enigma "If you have to use the telephone for getting appointments with prospects, and you either don't like it or don't get the kind of results you'd love to have, this book is a MUST HAVE! You really will become World-Class if you follow Bruce King's advice" Thomas Power "At last a great book on telemarketing ..it's the complete antidote to the scripted, robotic approach we all suffer. Bruce has created a thinking, practical handbook for real people who want to generate rapport and trust with their clients and not get the 'digital door' slammed on their fingers twenty times an hour." John Donnelly "Well - I didn't like it. I LOVED IT!! Bruce's latest book "Telephone Sales and Appointment setting" is - just as it says on the cover "world class". I've read a fair few sales and marketing books and this one is exceptional. It is simple and easy to read. It has NO waffle, gets right to the core of the issues facing those who want (or don't want) to make cold calls. I dare you to read this and NOT feel motivated, inspired and ready to pick up the phone. I found the worksheets on time management and the results monitor particularly valuable. I also loved the conversation scripts and the section on handling objections is very useful. This book stands out because it really offers something that little bit different, even de-bunks some of the bunkum around sales. In my work supporting great coaches to become successful coaches, I find they resist cold calling and will do almost anything to avoid picking up the phone and speaking to people. This is a book I will definitely be recommending to them." Dr Lisa Turner- CEO Psycademy
