Email Is Easy. The Phone Gets Results | Donald Kelly - 1897

It may be easier for you to copy and paste a ChatGPT-generated email for your cold outreach, but it’s probably not landing the results you want from your prospects. Instead, get on the phone and dial your potential clients to close a deal. Before you tell me that you can’t do it, I’m telling you that it’s way easier than you think.

Why I Think Phone Calls Are Better

• After working with various organizations and sales reps, I've noticed how phone calls have been proving more effective for them.
• Following the pandemic, many of us grew tired of constant online interactions. Everyone is craving genuine human connection now, and this includes your prospects.
• Those hundreds of automated messages you’re sending? They're making your prospects feel disconnected from you and believe you’re not genuine. Phone calls allow you to build real trust, helping them feel connected to you and less like you’re just after their money.
• Also, when you take the time to actually converse with your prospects, building rapport becomes much easier. I'll even share an example from a client of mine who prefers phone calls over emails, perfectly illustrating this point.
• And even if you’re making phone calls and not immediately reaching clients, remember there are tools to help you out. For example, services like JustCall can help you reach more prospects effectively, without spamming them.

"If we can have ways to have more engaging conversations, you can have a higher chance of success.” - Donald Kelly.
