On this, our twentieth episode, we talk about five common types of objection you might face when cold-calling, and how to deal with each one. The five most common are:

• Send me something in the mail
• We already have one of those
• We don’t have that problem
• It’s not a priority for us right now
• (on second call) I didn’t get a chance to look at your stuff yet

We also talk about the difference between sincere and insincere objections, and how to recognize, and deal with, each.

If you have any comments, questions or feedback, or if you would like to suggest a topic for a future show, please e-mail mike@coldcallingpodcast.com or greg@coldcallingpodcast.com.

This week, we revisit a topic we covered a while back in show number 2 - Finding Direct Numbers.

Hot on the heels of last weeks episode, where we covered how to find target names using LinkedIn, we felt this would be a good time to explain again some of the more useful techniques for finding direct numbers, by fair means or foul!

If you have any comments, questions or feedback, or if you would like to suggest a topic for a future show, please e-mail mike@coldcallingpodcast.com or greg@coldcallingpodcast.com.

This week, we focus exclusively on LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com) as a means of finding new prospects to call. LinkedIn is an absolute goldmine when it comes to finding target individuals, so long as you know how to get the best out of it.

We talk you through how to use the People Search function to best effect.

Please e-mail mike@coldcallingpodcast.com or greg@coldcallingpodcast.com if you have any suggestions, comments, questions or feedback.

On this weeks show, we talk about cultural differences. How should you change your approach when cold-calling decision makers who are based in a different country, or who come from an entirely different culture, to your own? What works in the US does not necessarily work in the UK, and vice versa.

Additionaly, we talk about some of the things you should be aware of when calling France, Germany, Scandinavia, Middle East, Asia, etc.

This is a topic on which we would really welcome some feedback, so please send your e-mails to mike@coldcallingpodcast.com and/or greg@coldcallingpodcast.com.
