Day 8
Things keep running smoothly. There's another holiday coming up, so there won't be another update until Tuesday.
Voicemail
Every now and again I don't reach anyone. I always leave a voicemail, since I count the number of calls made, not the number of people I talked to. Today I left a particularly shitty message. Not on purpose, mind you, but it was just utter garbage. I created a template to save myself the embarrassment in the future:

Every now and again I don't reach anyone. I always leave a voicemail, since I count the number of calls made, not the number of people I talked to. Today I left a particularly shitty message. Not on purpose, mind you, but it was just utter garbage. I created a template to save myself the embarrassment in the future:
- Introduction: Hey, my name is Stefan
- Give context: I found your company through the Yellow Pages
- Value proposition: You're missing out on potential customers every day, just because of your website
- Add credibility: We helped numerous companies like yours acquire new customers in the past (not using this line right now since I'm not a fan of white lies, but it should definitely be included once you have some references)
- Contact information: Let's talk. [Phone number]
- Repeat: I'm Stefan. [Phone number] Thank you.
You're absolutely right. Unfortunately, I'm the guy who tends to break the silence first. But I'll flip it on them in the future. Thanks for the advice!People are terrible at staying quiet. You'll feel uncomfortable staying quiet. But it works.
