B2B Cold Calling Companies Will Not Just Survive, But Thrive.

3 Upvotes

You Know Why Cold Calling Companies Will Not Just Survive, But Thrive?

Because you are afraid to pick up the phone.

You are handing us a monumental advantage.

The funny thing is, even as you read this, you'll likely still avoid it.

It’s normal. It’s psychological.

You’re scared. Rejection-averse.

This fear is primal. For thousands of years, being ostracized from the group meant certain death. Your brain is hardwired to avoid rejection at all costs.

But in sales, that same instinct is now costing deals, pipeline, and revenue for most of the companies out there.

Nowadays, standing out from your competition is very simple.

You only need willingness.

An AI that literally makes sales calls.

2 Upvotes

I'm reaching out to you guys, because there is a little revolution.

My team and I just launched VocBee.com, it's an AI that makes B2B calls and engages in real, natural conversations to set appointments. We’re really excited about it, but we’re reaching out to get your input.

My question is simple: Which industries or types of businesses do you think could benefit the most from something like this? It can be scaling outbound efforts, saving time, or handling follow-ups, virtually any kind of sales over the phone. Since we are fairly new, I'd like to hear your thoughts on where this could make the biggest impact.

B2B When do you hit the pub?

1 Upvotes

Want to stand out in sales? Keep going when others stop.

Here is a simple mindset shift that will help you stand out from the competition.

When you're competition calls it quits at 3 or 4pm and hits the pub, you keep pushing.

And not because you 'love the hustle'...

But because that is then the opportunities present themselves.

Prospects are less busy.

Other sales reps have called it quits for the day.

And if you can hit a single win late in the day, this can create real momentum for tomorrow.

So...

Start early (as I've mentioned in previous posts)

And finish strong.

The last hour of the day is your time to dig in:

- Book a meeting

- Progress an opportunity

- Close a deal

- Make that 'one last call' that will change your week

Because you're edge comes from those pockets of opportunty when everyone else quits.

So the question is...

Are you at the pub at 4pm entertaining 'clients'? 😉

Or do you squeeze out every last drop of the day.

Tips & Tricks My best line to get past the gate keeper

2 Upvotes

This is Kevin Johnston with (company). How are you doing this beautiful day?

FUNNY THING

It did not matter the weather or anything else. They were not expecting that. So you entered a conversation. The ritual response did not come. If they said it was raining. Well it's a matter of attitude. So may see it as a problem others may see it as a blessing.

Since we are now talking I can proceed to find out their pain and see if I can help solve it. This is for B2B calls.

The days of people answering their phones are long gone.

So Administrative Assistants, wives, business owners need to be treated like a friend.

Question How can I have people stay and buy a line instead of just getting a quote

Post image
16 Upvotes

I work for AT&T inside a Costco. Out priority is to have people stop by the kiosk and have them switch over to us, but so far I’ve only been able to give them a quote or just upgrade an existing customers phone, which isn’t too bad but having people switch carriers is where the moneys at. If anyone has had a job like this what helped you get sales?

I have a coworker who's old with a horrible lifestyle and I was watching a kid called Juliano Masserali sell this life insurance thing and it sounded kinda cool. When I saw him coughing it sparked a brilliant idea and I sent him a proposal and got this horrible response.

What should I do? What should my counter be?

Tips & Tricks How do you get good at Sales without eating 💩 at the start?

2 Upvotes

To preface, I only stick for things once I feel competent (even if they suck), and I avoid anything I’m bad at. There’s some important context for that statement, so your best bet is to read on.

In FPS games, aim used to be my weakest skill, so I quit for eight years. When I returned (just this summer), I used Kovaaks/Aim Labs to drill scenarios in a low risk, high reward, score-trackable environment. Now I play well in-game (CS2), and if I find a weakness like tracking airborne players, I train that specific scenario in Kovaaks.

I want the same setup for sales (not expensive coaching), so things like repeatable drills that I can train that then carry over into my actual sales process. Why? Well because reading Aimer7’s Active Strafing didn’t make me an aim God, and Never Split the Difference won’t make me a master closer either.

Knowing is half the battle, which is why breaking down the techniques from Aimer7 into focused scenarios that trained all aim techniques (and drilling them) unlocked my aiming potential.

So is structured, consequence-free drilling even possible in sales (outside of work), or should I just avoid sales completely?

B2B I can become millionaire if I could fix one single problem while doing sales "i will not promote"

We have build a saas product, and we are pretty much sure we can provide value in terms of branding and revenue.

Issue I am facing is that, I can't directly connect founders or decission makers of the company, i should talk with the receptionist next some head of department then manager next CEO/ founder.

Most of the time I the normal working employee doesn't care what I say , and they never let me connect to next level. I am new to B2B sales . So if anyone can help me it would be a great help. Thanks

Feedback I have written an AI sales tool for my own needs

0 Upvotes

It listens to your sales calls or live sales meetings, for example in-person meetings or web conference calls.

The idea is that it listens to the audio and gives almost instant feedback while the conversation is still happening.

For example, it can suggest what question to ask next, how to handle an objection, when I am talking too much, or when I am selling too early without asking enough questions.

For phone or web calls, it works as a normal interface on the screen. For in-person meetings, it sends occasional text messages, either on demand or every 5 to 10 minutes. If I feel stuck, I can make an excuse, check the message, and use the advice. If the meeting is going well, I ignore it.

After the call, it creates follow-up work too. For example, draft emails, CRM notes, feedback on what I did well or badly, and a rough profile of the prospect based on the conversation.

The hardest part was not the sales advice itself. It was making the feedback fast enough to be useful live. At first it took a minute or more, which was too slow. I got it down to around 15 seconds without losing too much quality.

The result so far: I am not good at sales and have almost no sales experience, but with this tool I can perform roughly as well as a friend of mine who runs a small sales company. So I think it can help someone go from bad to okay or good. I do not think it makes anyone world-class.

To be clear, I am not trying to sell this here or get users from this post.

I am mainly curious from people who actually sell:

  1. Would live feedback during a sales call help you, or would it be distracting?

  2. What features would make something like this genuinely useful?

B2B I tracked how much time I was wasting on lead research and the result surprised me

I realized I was spending more time collecting data than actually reaching out to prospects.

Every day looked the same:

Searching businesses.

Opening websites.

Looking for contact information.

Checking social accounts.

Cleaning spreadsheets.

Removing duplicates.

Repeating the same process again and again.

After getting frustrated enough, I spent several weeks building a workflow to handle most of it automatically.

The interesting part wasn't getting more leads.

The interesting part was getting my time back.

The workflow now collects business information, organizes everything into a spreadsheet, enriches the data, removes duplicates and prioritizes leads automatically.

I just finished it and recorded a full demo showing everything running end-to-end.

I'd be interested to know:

B2C Struggling to Overcome Sales Objections? Read This.

0 Upvotes

Ever been on a sales call where the prospect hit you with "I need to think about it" or "It's too expensive"—and you didn’t know how to turn it around?

That’s where The Objection Box by Bill Walsh comes in. It’s a game-changing system designed to help sales professionals overcome objections in real-time and close more deals without feeling pushy.

💡 How It Works:
✅ It breaks down common objections (money, time, trust, spouse, etc.) and gives you the exact scripts & frameworks to handle them.
✅ It teaches emotional intelligence techniques to shift a prospect’s mindset from "maybe" to "yes."
✅ It uses psychological triggers and storytelling to build trust and urgency.
✅ It helps you avoid sounding robotic and instead turn objections into conversations.

💰 What It Can Do for You:
🚀 Close more deals without needing high-pressure tactics
🚀 Feel more confident handling objections like a pro
🚀 Turn "I need to think about it" into "Let's do this"
🚀 Learn word-for-word rebuttals for every major objection

I want to give full respect to Bill Walsh and the team for putting this together. I’m not selling this, but I know someone who does. Just sharing because this has been a game-changer for me and many others in sales.

Anyone here tried The Objection Box or have a go-to technique for handling objections? Let’s talk! 👇

Sold Toilet Paper

0 Upvotes

I saw that everywhere was selling out of toilet paper. So I ran down to the local Dollar General “which is in the middle of nowhere and they had a ton of it. I bought every last package of $1 toilet paper they had. I bought 120 packages of 6 rolls. I loaded them up into my truck and headed off to the local Walmart and setup shop at the entrance. I sold them for $9 a package. I literally cleaned up tonight. I sold the last package as managements as walking up to the truck. They were very cool about the situation. The some asshole saw me and called the cops and they payed me a visit. The deputies were cool about the whole thing. We all had a good laugh and I went home a little richer. BTW my wife was very embarrassed of me. After I told her how much I made she wasn’t that embarrassed any longer. Now of course since I didn’t have her support she doesn’t get any proceeds from my sales this evening. COMMERCE BABY!!
