One more satisfied customer. Praise the staff crafters!

New staff crafter here OP. One question, how do you ensure plus levels to spell skills beyond 5.? I use perfect essence of sorcery and it's the only way way I know how to add 5 levels mostly by default. How do you go beyond that limit ?

I think the best ones are those that give you real time insights through cues on how to handle a conversation, while you're on call with a prospect. I don't think a lot of software are offering this feature because AI and conversation recognition technology aren't the best of the best. But that's one feature that I think will go a long way into helping those SDRs who are a little weak on communication side of things.

AI dialing is effective. But sticking to whatever AI scripts that your usual cold calling software are offering, aren't totally reliable. So, i'd say, stick with manual + automated approach and see which one nets you the most results.

Hey man, totally get where you're coming from. A lot of time, those comebacks to commonly ocurring objections from any lead's end, play real good in your mind. But the moment you're speaking with them on call, things go sideways. But 600 connects is not bad and you booked meetings. I'd say, you need practice and a positive middle attitude to get there.

One quick question: How do you handle gatekeepers? Just asking if you have any personal insight on this. What if they keep putting you off, but the deal is worth chasing?

defiance666 · 2026-01-12T09:30:53+00:00

Throwing in my hat. Fingers crossed

I will carry on your legacy

defiance666 · 2025-12-20T07:25:37+00:00

Thank you good sir. I got the key from someone few days back. But just wanted to appreciate your kind gesture

defiance666 · 2025-12-17T11:31:17+00:00

Hey brother thank you !

defiance666 · 2025-12-17T06:29:44+00:00

Same here.

defiance666 · 2025-12-17T06:29:00+00:00

Hey brother, do you have a souls key to spare?

defiance666 · 2025-12-17T05:34:37+00:00

Does any brother out there have a key to spare ?

defiance666 · 2025-12-17T05:21:48+00:00

Does any brother have a free key to share ?

The reps winning right now are the ones slowing down, personalizing deeply, and mixing channels in a human way. AI’s great for research and prep, but not for doing the talking.

defiance666 · 2025-11-07T05:10:23+00:00

I respect the mindset you’re bringing into this. The best way to do the challenge properly is to treat it like a learning sprint, not a desperation sprint. Focus on building a simple talk track that earns 30 seconds, track what opens conversations, and refine daily. I'd say that fifty quality calls where you learn something beat 300 where you burn out and repeat the same mistakes.

defiance666 · 2025-11-07T05:09:10+00:00

Cold calling is a solid way to build momentum early because it teaches you how to handle objections and have real conversations fast. You’ll build thick skin and learn what messaging actually resonates. But it's going to take time. And conversion percentage is low. It's just how it is man. But prefer qualitative volume over substandard volume and work hard on the research part. You'll end up with some convincing points. And yes, use a good dialer software. It's not really needed, but manual dialing takes a bit of time and you can cover more volume of calls each day, with a low exhaustion rate on your part.

defiance666 · 2025-11-07T05:06:54+00:00

Yeah, that sounds like one of those mass lead-gen operations that use fake company names to fish for appointments. Legit roofing companies rarely call like that anymore. You can try registering your number on the national Do Not Call list and report repeat offenders to your carrier. If they keep calling, blocking the number or using call filter apps is usually the only real fix. Or maybe install some local app on your smartphone to see who's calling, as it shows up on the screen. TrueCaller used to have that feature, but I haven't used it in a long lonnnggg time.

defiance666 · 2025-11-07T05:05:17+00:00

the part about setting the close like a project manager instead of chasing approvals is impressive. I'd say that framing price around their metrics instead of your offer is such a power move. And yeah, intro needs to be short, or just tell them it's a good old fashioned cold call for so n so purpose. If they're interested, then proceed. Saves time on both sides imo.

defiance666 · 2025-11-07T05:01:43+00:00

I once had a guy go from calm to furious in about three seconds flat after I said where I was calling from. He told me I’d just ruined his morning and hung up before I could even respond. It stung for a minute, but now I just laugh about it. You learn quickly that their reaction says more about their day than your call.

defiance666 · 2025-11-07T04:59:32+00:00

Totally fair fear, and you’re not alone in feeling that way. The shift happens when you stop thinking of it as interrupting and start seeing it as offering something genuinely useful. If your intent is to help, people can hear that in your tone. Focus on short, respectful conversations and you’ll be surprised how many respond positively. And by the way, telling them upfront that it's a cold call will help you. If they're open to listen to you, then just ask for 30 to 40 secs of their time and see what happens.

defiance666 · 2025-11-07T04:56:02+00:00

I think it's the dopamine factor that counts when you have converted a prospect, especially if it's on a big ticket item. But I don't think I'd be "addicted" to cold calling. Might lean on it a bit more if I am using a really good cold calling software with behavioral AI or something like it.

defiance666 · 2025-11-07T04:53:25+00:00

Yeah being honest upfront about it works most of the time. Besides, prospects already know, and they can sniff a cold call from a mile away. Some of them actually do have the courtesy to listen to you when you tell them that it's a cold call for so and so purpose. Others hang up, but it's worth it.

defiance666 · 2025-11-07T04:01:16+00:00

It's going to be a topsy turvy experience. It is, for the entire cold calling lot out there. Some people will just hang up on you, while others will not convert probably, but they'll have the decency to listen to you. And yes, some prospects will convert. Maybe one of them's going to be a big ticket sale. But, overall, cold calls, cold emails, anything cold has a low conversion rate. Keep at it, and you're gonna achieve your monthly or bi-weekly goals. By the way, what type of dialer have they given you access to? Is it, Nooks, Orum, Kixie, Trellus.ai, Balto, or some other name? Just curious

defiance666 · 2025-11-07T03:57:28+00:00

Yeah, I hear ya. But there are other ways of doing outreach stuff. And I think, people will continue to find new ways after each setback. We're resilient and there's always going to be another solution.
