    I watched this movie during my master degree, did cold calling in front of SAIL in hot summer and finally got clients from IIMs for a broking firm and landed a job with the same firm. I could feel same energy during my call, used to walk and run to save metro/bus/local fare... Struggling days finally paid off.

      @@DibbzTV Absolutely not true. I work with C-level people and they have these moments. They are one in a hundred, but they happen. Some of these C-suite chaps pick up the phone only when they really have a couple of minute in and between. What does not happen, though, is that you select your first C-level contact on a call sheet, and you get through to that person via a secretary. If you are a new person the secretary does not know, your chances are 50%-50%, depending on how you present yourself when the "what's this about?" question comes. Today, they have very well trained gatekeepers, and it is nearly impossible to get through. If you have a direct number, that's a different thing. Information is money. What you really need to do to meet the C-suite all the time is a trade secret I won't share here, but let's just say it is something different than cold calling as it was back in the day.

    This is what I love about working sales. Sometimes it sucks, especially in the very beginning when you’re new at it, but it certainly teaches you perseverance, creativity and customer service skills. Realistically, you have to offer add-ons, warranties and everything else a hundred times before someone finally says yes. It’s a tough market and job to do but very rewarding as you continue and learn and eventually start making some headway. A lot of people go into sales thinking they’ll be making big bucks right away just because they see a veteran in sales doing it. Yes, you can do it eventually too but it takes time, experience and perseverance to get to that point.

      You risk being shut out of a client company entirely because you called the wrong people and didn't go through the "chain of command" properly.
      I can see a department head, never mind a CEO, getting rather upset at getting a cold call directly, rather than the offer making it's way through the team of people they manage who's entire job it is to deal with people like Chris.

    What I learned in cold calls for big success : Don't follow the call center rules of your supervisor. Follow the rules of your customer. My former boss wondered why I was so successful. On the mess day 50 employes had to go, two stayed. I was one of them😂 One month later I quit because this job is not good for your health and I found a better one. The scene is showing this secret for success great.

    You know this could be true or not but
    When you work someone. You won’t get what your looking for if what you want or need. So not sure if you weren’t allowed to start anywhere from calling people. But he took a risk that he shouldn’t have done and that’s okay. We want something that is hard to get and if someone is stopping us from doing that we go ahead from them. And that’s what’s will smith did in this scene. He went ahead from those names. Taking risks are scary sometimes. But they can help sometimes.
