Last week, after reading the thread of @Fox and the book "Breaking the time barrier", I was really excited to start creating websites to be financially independent and then be able to start my fastlane projects.
As I already created some websites from scratch and I'm not that bad with design, the development part is not the problem.
The sale part is.
Following the Fox advices, I contacted people with big following (300 000+ Youtube subscribers) to redesign their website (for free) and highlight the books that they published (I think it's a good added value, no?).
I get only one response "Thanks for the proposition. I think about it regularly but I didn't make a decision yet."
Without telling him, I redesigned his website and I sent him the url yesterday night. (no response yet. Should have use a tool to know if he opened the email).
Then, I mailed a few other Youtubers who published books with the url of the design I just did but no response yet.
I think now of cold calling businesses like lawyers.
I never thought this would be SO DIFFICULT to take the phone.
With a single line of script I finally called a lawyer and when she said "allo", I read my sentence with only one breath so I'm really not sure she understood anything... and then she said "sorry, this is my colleague who takes care of that and she is in vacation until august" - "Ok ty, bye".
I hung up and finally took my breath.
After that, I was looking for some motivation and advices on cold-calling so I watched "Pursuit of happiness", I read "Go for no!" and opened google sheet to prepare a list of 30-50 lawyers who need a redesign.
After reading "Go for no" I gave me the goal to get 10 "no" today.
So it is 11:52 am and I didn't do anything !!! I wanted to cold call between 9 and 12 but I didn't have a script so I said to myself that I needed it first. The real reason is that I am just afraid to call those guys.
Goals for today:
-> a little script to start cold calling with
-> 10 no's
