7 things that happen when you make 100 cold calls a day

What the Jungle Closers fellows are signing up for, and what you can practice from home.

1. The first 20 calls are the worst

Your voice shakes, you read the script too fast and you hang up relieved when nobody answers. That fades with volume. Most people stop dreading the phone somewhere in the first week of real reps.

2. Most calls don't connect

Voicemails, wrong numbers, gatekeepers. Out of 100 dials, the conversations are a small slice. That's why the number is 100: you need the volume to get enough real conversations to learn from.

3. "No" stops meaning anything

After a few hundred no's, a no is just information: wrong person, wrong time, wrong offer. You stop taking it personally because there isn't time to.

4. Your opening line is everything

You get a few seconds before someone decides to hang up. At Jungle Closers the opener is easy to say, because the founder already has a new website built for them. "I built you something" gets further than "Do you have a minute?"

5. You learn more from recordings than from reading

Every call that goes wrong teaches you one line to change. The fellows review their calls every evening. Listening to yourself is uncomfortable for about three days.

6. Your body decides your afternoon

100 calls is a long day. Sleep, food and a morning workout show up in your energy at call 70. That's why the fellowship starts at 5am with training instead of email.

7. You can start practicing today

You don't need a jungle or a sales job to start the reps. The Cold Call Kit has the openers, the 25 objections and their replies, the 20-minute call structure, a 100-call day plan, 10 role-play drills and a daily tracker.
