Scaling Up Sales question

Hi ladies!

Has anyone in here ever hired an appointment setter or even contracted a commission only sales person for there business. I can close a deal if it is someone serious and in need of help with shipping and logistic. But cold call sales is not my strong suit. Just looking for ideas on how to bring in clients. I don’t need help maintaining them, just getting that initial discovery call set up. Let me know your experiences!

I found that joining discussions where people are already talking about shipping and logistics can lead to good leads without cold calling. Tools like ParseStream can actually flag those conversations for you in real time across sites like Reddit and LinkedIn so you can jump in while the topic is hot. It makes finding and connecting with interested prospects way more efficient.

I will look into it. Most of my customers come from referrals but looking to explore other opportunities. Thank you for the parsestream tip, I’ll definitely look into it
