POV: it's time for Monday sales cold calls

Transcript

So I've missed all of my sales targets last month. It was a bad month. I figured I need to hit 100% this month or I might be on the streets selling cars next month. Let's make some cold calls. Lord, please. I'm trying to keep my job. Okay, let's keep my lights on. Okay, voicemail. Okay, we're gonna go ahead and send a follow-up second number. Please answer, please answer, please answer. Damn it. Voicemail. About to throw myself off this building. Hey, Dr. Cory, give me a call back from Weatherby. I saw that you had open to work. What has changed since last time we spoke? I see that you're looking for something full-time within Locums. What's the hesitation? Oh, yes. No, I get that. Technically, you don't have to travel for Locums. A lot of times, there might be an opportunity in your backyard, for instance. But I think it's a good idea to always have a wider net of opportunities, just in case your 11 AM Eastern Standard Time look. Perfect, perfect. So I'll just send you a calendar invite. I will talk to you then. Bye. Love her. Love her down. Okay. Next number. Dr. Plum. And give you a call back. Do you know why I'm calling? Trust me, I hate cold calling just as much as you hate getting them. So, you've had a conversation with us previously? So wanted to check in, you know, supposed to be helping out facilities and negative coverage. Wow. That's kind of crazy. But feel free to give me a call. My number will be the same. Unless I'm not here anymore. So rude. So nasty. And you know what? I tried my hardest today. That's it.
