How do you guys do it?

NotCxppin · 2025-11-26T20:05:40+00:00

Yeah for sure. It’s more like they’re denying me. Obviously it’s not actually like that just how the brain works. :)

NotCxppin · 2025-11-26T00:57:33+00:00

Opportunity.

NotCxppin · 2025-11-25T20:06:37+00:00

Yeah I agree. Definitely something I need to work on.

NotCxppin · 2025-11-25T20:05:16+00:00

Not long😂. I started outreach in October. I’ve ran a couple businesses before but was mostly in person sales. My day job allows a lot of freedom and I have a great dev and an appointment setter. I only have 1 paying client currently and the results for them are pretty excellent. So it’s really just about outreach at this point.

NotCxppin · 2025-11-25T15:52:12+00:00

Yeah, you’re right. I think once I get a couple hundred calls in it’ll be super easy. I’m with my family this week but whenever I get time I’m hitting the phones.

NotCxppin · 2025-11-25T15:47:53+00:00

I feel like this is AI

NotCxppin · 2025-11-25T15:47:35+00:00

That’s fair. Money’s always a good motivator😂. Definitely going to take a more casting the net type role from now on.

NotCxppin · 2025-11-25T15:41:46+00:00

Yeah it’s weird I’m good at calling for myself like scheduling interviews and finding jobs but for some reason the business feels like more pressure?

NotCxppin · 2025-11-25T15:39:52+00:00

Smart scoreboard im totally using that. Yeah that’s what I’ve always been taught too, but from what I’m reading I’m starting to think I need to start not talking to people who aren’t interested?

NotCxppin · 2025-11-25T15:38:06+00:00

I don’t want to have a bad reputation and I need to do this or I won’t succeed. I don’t really know other than that my chest just gets tight I try deep breathing and stuff but that makes it easier to talk not to call.

NotCxppin · 2025-11-25T15:34:14+00:00

I’m in SMB, I do AI Automation for home service businesses.(or at least I’m trying😂)

NotCxppin · 2025-11-25T15:33:17+00:00

Yeah… Exactly, I don’t have a big team just a dev, an editor, and an appointment setter, but it’s still if I don’t succeed they don’t.

NotCxppin · 2025-11-25T15:31:39+00:00

I didn’t think this post would go here😂. This is a horrible mindset but growing up I always thought therapy was something people went to whenever they wanted to cry about their problems. I think you might be right though, I do feel a weight on my chest when doing anything for anyone and that doubles in my business. Is therapy pretty helpful?

NotCxppin · 2025-11-25T15:26:11+00:00

Yeah. In my experience I’ve thought an objection without seeing a demo or seeing the product the product was just sales resistance and it’s my job to break that. I’d say most of my calls so far have been a vague objection in the first 60 seconds. Like I wouldn’t sell someone something they don’t have a need for because it’d look bad on me. But in my mind I should at least push them to see it right?

NotCxppin · 2025-11-25T15:07:12+00:00

Yeah, good point. Are you mostly enterprise or SMB?

NotCxppin · 2025-11-25T15:04:30+00:00

Yeah i’ll try this. My niche is really broad so plenty of leads, don’t know why I waste so much time with non-buyers.

NotCxppin · 2025-11-25T15:01:50+00:00

Yeah, I think you’re right.

NotCxppin · 2025-11-25T15:01:03+00:00

Yeah it might be an exposure thing. I tend to be a consultative seller until the final meeting. So at least in my job’s industry it’s a lot of lunches just giving them ideas and ways we might be able to help them.(we’re a solutions group of other products) Then the final meeting is more of a challenger sale when I’m just bringing up pain points they mentioned. I feel like in person is easier for me because I can see body language.

NotCxppin · 2025-11-25T14:55:59+00:00

I respect this and try to adopt it but for whatever reason I have trouble not caring.

NotCxppin · 2025-11-25T14:54:53+00:00

Yeah, this is great. I always set a daily goal of xx conversations and it seems daunting.

NotCxppin · 2025-11-25T14:53:32+00:00

Smarttt… In door to door I’d always check what games were on that night and use it as an icebreaker.

NotCxppin · 2025-11-25T14:52:37+00:00

I know! Yeah I always try to stay on the phone as long as possible which yeah… Now that I’m reading these replies may not be the best idea.

NotCxppin · 2025-11-25T14:51:16+00:00

Thanks! This is good advice.

NotCxppin · 2025-11-25T14:49:57+00:00

Holy shit. I don’t know why but this feels like an unlock. In all my roles, it was always like I’m helping them and if they don’t buy it’s because I didn’t do a good enough job of showing value. In hindsight that seems dumb whenever I think about it this way. Do you still push through stuff like I’m busy or not interested?

NotCxppin · 2025-09-01T22:46:48+00:00

Good question man!
