The emotion that keeps me from doing this comes at the moment one has to reveal the reason for the call. So I imagine the other person, after quite some intro, going like "Ahhh, it's not really that genuine. He/She wants something.". At the end of the day we want to make money (not just "help them") and the other person knows that. And pretending it's not makes me highly uncomfortable.
It definitely works! Creating a great email targeted at the particular potential client with some samples of your work, also works. Best thing with cold calling is to match or the exceed the confidence of the potential client. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You're an amazing designer! Sales may not be your strength but the more cold calls you do, the more confidence and sales skills you'll develop. I would say the goal from a cold call is to gain a discovery call/meeting out of it.
This was so great to watch! Thank You for your transparency! This really gives me hope. It shows that even through our shyness or being nervous, putting ourselves out there can pay off! Also feel inspired, because it's easy to feel like a cold call can be annoying to the person we are calling, but in your case she was not annoyed at all and actually needs help! This was inspiring for sure! Thank You for posting the real behind the scenese!
I liked seeing this video. I have to do cold calls for class for a project on finding a freelance client and this has given me an idea on how to go about cold calling business! Thanks
I just did my "semi" cold call (not really cold call because I didn't speak to manager) but I was so freakiiing nervous. I never realized how scary it was until I tried it but you did a way better job on your first call then my first call.
How do you make the website and give it to her? Im not very used to wordpress, but dont u usually have restrictions to how many websites you can have for an account and to have custom domains to?
I actually met in person with this client and then sent her over a proposal and walk them through how to move forward with me (pay the deposit) and I can begin.

This is such an interesting video!! I love that you were able to share this with us, definitely interested in seeing more videos like this! 💕
I get all my work by cold calling. The more you do it the easier it gets.
Please explain in details
@JaysTv just search for companies, check if they’re website on the internet. If not search the phone number and call the manager. 🤷🏻♀️
Same here haha. Cold call all the way 📞
Yeah Absolutely
In which niche are you playing? And how many clients do you currently have?
You did very well on the call. I know that is the scariest part of the business for me as well
Thanks for the video! I’ve never cold called before but I want to in the future!

What did you do, did call a random shop or company that you create a website or... I don't know
Megan from 1 to 10 How much you vote for Cold Calling or Cold Pitching ? Will Cold calling helps you to make $10k per month or more then that ?
Great video! What do you ask the client? if they want to pay you to do graphic design? Or remake the website? Thanks!
I actually met in person with this client and then sent her over a proposal and walk them through how to move forward with me (pay the deposit) and I can begin.
What did you just offer as a "Graphic Designer"? UX-Design or WordPress development services?
Do you usually bite your lips when on phone calls?
Tha k you
