Today, Bill records a cold (voicemail) call from a vendor and dissects it with Bryan. The attempt here is NOT to disrespect the person making the call...but to use it for learning purposes. Listen as they analyze the process the caller goes thru...and then the recommendations they make to them--or anyone else if you MUST do cold calling.

We get great questions from our listeners. Today's episode actually references back a few episodes to an unfinished topic. Bill & Bryan will address, "How do you adopt the attitude of a business person vs a salesperson?" And, "How do you coach yourself so you will be clear to the buyer about what you do?"They'd love to hear from you.
