'Get straight to the point'
Today, have connected a lot with prospects who clearly sounded a little rushed but wanted me to get 'straight to the point'.. Depending on tone, my default is to push them away slightly saying that I'm happy to call back when it's a better time - but I've had prospects who have insisted. My gambit is 'If I told you we get invited into solve X, Y and Z - you're likely going to tell me that that's completely irrelevant and smashing it right?' I then get shutdown saying that 'theyre good' and then bam. Phone is slammed. Keen to hear how some of you approach this!

Who has it worse
Having a particularly bad week for getting people to answer the phone. I'm hoping someone else's suffering will make me feel better about mine. Lets compare, whats an average dial:conversation ratio for you all? And (more importantly) what does your worst week for dial:conversation look like?

Went to an expo today, speaking to vendors that are a perfect fit for us - general chin wag and the such - potentially booking some meetings for me to properly qualify later down the line. At 10am, some douche spilt his whole pint over me. So I spent today speaking to prospects stinking of donkey piss...🙃

Reluctance taking over
Reluctance to hit the phone has once again taken over and is making me feel like I'm dying of the incurable disease of being a little b****. I was off of work for a total of 3 months since the start of this year - new kid, etc... and I've stopped calling altogether. Trying to supplement by sending videos, emails, LI messages - and am booking demos, but not enough and I want to progress on the phone. I've overcome this reluctance in the past, but right now I keep finding excuses to not do what I know I need to do and just call... I know the solution is staring me in the face, but I keep looking away. Any advice ?

I get the reluctance piece. I find it often happens to me when I overly attach myself to a particular prospect, knowing that they're a good fit. All of the advice above are great ways to overcome this. Personally, I like to imagine myself to almost be a doctor, when removing my attachment. A doctor doesn't get attached to each patient that comes into their surgery, nor do they get flustered if a patient doesn't turn up. There's always more patients, who likely have real problems. Moreover, they won't prescribe the strongest painkiller without doing some serious questioning. They're the ones in control. Adopting this mindset helps me. Hope it helps you too!
Taking the plunge
I'm here because I'm joining my mates start up soon, and he has next to no idea how to prospect. Pretty stoked because I can apply what I know is right (stuff Dennehy and Callum touch on) and I won't have management with their blue pill mentality whereby the salesperson has little to no control. That's why I'm here. To learn and crush it. Let's goooooo
