I have gotten over 50 people in my pipline now I believe.  I mail them something ones a week and once my e newsletter comes out i am going to call them to see if they got it and liked it?  Any other suggestions on how to get some appointments out of this?  Or do I just keep on driping on them and adding new ones to pipeline each day?

Keep those contacts up, somethings got to give!

Ricky and Westwood, remember, it's a glacier, and you got an ice pick. It isn't going to happen overnight, nor will it happen if you put the ice pick down. Seriously, if you bust your tail, you should start making regular new account openings somewhere in the 60-90 day range provided you don't have some big flaw in your plan. Realize, that 3 yrs from now, you'll open some account, where the first dial was in the first month or two of your career. Coming full circle takes some time... Hope that helps.

Who are you calling...?

Your contact ration is almost double what Westwood(not judging) is.  Your dials are going down, but your contacts are increasing....So are you calling residential also? Only at night? or something else.

business in morning, resume marketing in afternoon, new movers at night. 

Oct 15, 2010 7:14 pm

I am out of resumes though right now so my contacts are going to be inline with westwoods now.  Resumes is what was moving up the contacts

I need an easy day today.  So I made myself go in and call for just an hour and half.  I started at 2.  This was a bad mistake because no one was picking up and they were pissed when I talked to them.  Next sat I am calling from 9-1.

You do realize people are trying to help you succeed right? All advice on here is to try and help you succeed. Maybe some of it seems harsh and many times it’s blunt, but this isn’t the world of everyone receiving a trophy at the end of the year… Unless you work for EJ (I know, cheap shot).

Oct 20, 2010 3:16 am

no worries... I appreciate the support.  The more time I worry about what a prospect is the less time I have to dial.  Thank you very much for you feedback

 "Unless you work for EJ (I know, cheap shot)."

Well, that was simply classic...ROTFLMAO...

Oct 20, 2010 4:38 pm

Ricky, I fully agree and support you. Don't worry about the definition of "prospect", that's the least of your worries. And frankly, you'd probably be a bit better off counting the victory of calling them a prospect, and cutting your teeth on them as well. Keep those dials going, and when you start "popping" new accounts, you have no idea the rush you'll feel. It will be like a wind to your sails, and make you stronger.

Thank you bigfirepower.  I needed that today.  I had a no show for an appointment and it kind of got me down.  Im going to keep my head up and keep going
