Cold calling, once the only method of sales prospecting, no longer works in today’s world. Here are the top five reasons to avoid it:

1. Cold calling makes you look desperate.

We all know that people want to do business with those who are successful; however, cold calling makes you look totally unsuccessful! Prospects think if you’re cold calling, you must have nothing else going on, and they should avoid doing business with you.

2. Cold calling makes timing work against you.

How can you know if someone is ready to buy when you call them at random? You don’t! If you get leads from cold calling, there’s a good chance they’re looking to buy next year, not now. And most people you call at random will never buy, ever.

3. Cold calling limits your sales production by time.

Leverage is very important, and is missing from cold calling. In other words, you can make only one call at a time or knock on one door at a time. There is no leveraged system working on your behalf, and as a result, even if you get leads from cold calling, there are only so many hours in the day to do it.

4. Cold calling is the leading cause of salesperson turnover and lack of morale.

Endless surveys show that the requirement to make cold calls is the number one reason why sales people quit, and the lack of cold calling is the number one reason why salespeople stay. Cold calling is very demoralizing and has a very negative impact on sales performance.

5. Cold calling fails to get qualified leads and generates unqualified leads.

Managers tend to measure the results of cold calling by the number of appointments set; however, appointments gained through cold calling have the lowest close rate of all. People who respond to cold calls generally aren’t the busy, successful people we want and need to meet with.

"I agree with the author. Salesperson has to be aware and keep track of his sales target on a daily basis and not by month. Only with consistency, planning and hard work can he achieve success in sales."

"I am a salesperson for over 15 years. I truly agree that Unique Selling Proposition (USP) is very important as It differentiates between your product/service against your competitors. For example, McDonald's USP is serving fast and fresh burgers in a clean, modern and friendly environment."

"I started working on home-based online business part-tme for more than a year now. The 4 points you mentioned are important, especially for newbies. Many newcomers rushed into online business believing they could make huge income fast but became disappointed after trying for a few months. It is true that one can earn unlimited income but one must be prepared to put in effort, time and most important, get a mentor to guide you."
