Podcasts about cold call

One of the most vivid memories from my childhood was the day I was bucked off my pony, Macaroni. I was only six years old. We were in an arena where my mother was giving me my very first riding lessons.  Macaroni was stung by a bee, and she reacted by bucking. I couldn't hang on, and I landed hard on my back. It knocked the breath out of me. I gasped for air. Then, as I finally caught my breath, I started bawling at the shock of being involuntarily dismounted.  My mom caught the pony, led her back over to me, and gently told me to dust myself off and get back on. But by this time, I was sobbing the way kids do when they've cried so hard that they can't stop.  Failure is Just a Bruise I shook my head and refused to get back on the pony. My mother tried her best to calm me down and reason with me, but I still refused to get back on.  Then she took a different tactic and got tough. Her stern, direct tone of voice made it clear that she was not asking me to get back on the pony—she was telling me. That's what I remember the most because my mom had never talked to me like that before and has rarely ever used that tone and directness since.  “Get up, and get back on that pony now!” she admonished.  She was unmovable. Like Teflon. My tears and pleading made no difference. I knew I had no choice, so I stood up, shaking. Still trying to catch my breath, she helped me get back on the pony.  Right there in the riding ring, at six years old, I experienced one of the most pivotal lessons of my life. My mother taught me that failure is just a bruise, not a tattoo.  She wasn't being cruel; she was being protective—protective of my future self, the one who might otherwise have carried an irrational fear of horses, or an ingrained habit of backing down at the first taste of adversity into the rest of my life. She knew that if she had let me off the hook and let me walk away from that pony, there was a good chance that I'd never get back on again. That the fear I felt when I landed on my back in the sand would grow and gain a life of its own. That I would vow to never let the pain and embarrassment of falling off happen to me again, and with that, my brush with failure would become permanent.  Failure Can't Really Bite You The truth is, failure is usually a short-lived event. Yes, it's jarring, unexpected, and can momentarily knock the breath out of you. But it doesn't have to be the defining chapter of your story.  That's what my mother understood so well in that riding ring. She insisted that I face my fear, effectively telling me, “Hey, the worst part's over. Now that you've experienced fear and failure, get back on and prove to yourself you can handle it.”  Because once you push through that initial sting, you discover that the fear can't really bite you unless you give it teeth in your own mind.  When Failure Becomes Permanent For far too many people, though, the pain of failure does become permanent. Instead of allowing themselves a moment to dust off and try again, they walk away in defeat—often without fully grasping the long-term impact of that decision.  Rather than letting the bruise fade, they opt to memorialize failure in their minds, assigning it more meaning than it deserves. They replay the embarrassment and pain over and over, until it becomes an unspoken vow: “Never again.”  And in that single choice, a brief setback can morph into a defining moment in which they forfeit the chance to learn, grow, and eventually experience the sweetness of victory. Think about how this scenario plays out in everyday life. Maybe you dream of learning a new skill—painting, playing guitar, writing a book, starting a podcast—but in your first attempt, you falter or feel foolish. Rather than chalking it up to “beginner's missteps,” you decide: “I'm terrible at this; I'll never try again.” And that small bruise becomes a tattoo right there, on the spot. You miss out on the personal growth, the fun, and potentially incredible experiences you would have discovered if you'd simply dusted yourself off and tried again. Sales is a Tapestry of Failure In sales, this avoidance of failure is just as prevalent, if not more so, because the stakes often involve your income or your reputation at work.  One day, you run a sales call that goes terribly off the rails—the prospect is disinterested, you get flustered, or you stumble on a key question. You come away feeling embarrassed, incompetent, maybe even humiliated if it happened in front of your sales manager.  That single negative experience can color your perception of future calls. You avoid that type of call, that kind of prospect, or that particular approach. You remember that unpleasant feeling so vividly that you decide it's “safer” never to try again.  So many sales reps finally gain the courage to cold call a C-level executive at a high-value prospect. Then freeze when they get a hard objection, leaving them feeling small and insecure. Instead of analyzing what went wrong, adjusting their approach, and trying again, they vow, “I'm never calling anyone that high up again.”  And while that might spare them from momentary embarrassment and discomfort, the long-term consequences are enormous. Their pipeline shrinks and income tanks because they're playing it safe. And, ultimately, their career crashes because they're afraid to push outside of their comfort zone. Sales Failure: Where the Bruise Can Really Hurt Sales can be bruising. Each rejection takes a piece out of you and can feel like a blow to your self-worth. It's easy to internalize it. Over time, a string of “no's” can erode your confidence, making the idea of picking up the phone and calling prospects feel daunting. Our minds can often be drama queens. When something painful happens, we cling to that memory and replay it, each time piling on new layers of negativity—“I can't believe I said that,” “What was I thinking,” “I'm so stupid.” In reality, the prospect might barely remember it or might even respect your courage. But to you, it's all-consuming. But remember, a “no” in sales is rarely personal. Often, it's circumstantial—maybe the prospect is having a bad day, or their budget cycle doesn't align with your proposal, or they had a negative experience with a different vendor and brought that baggage with them into your presentation.  The more you detach your self-worth from the outcome, the less likely you are to see these “no's” as permanent markers of failure. Instead, you'll shift your mindset. You begin to view failure as data that you can use to gain insight into how to improve. You start to treat each rejection as a chance to refine your approach. Success Stories are Forged in Failure The true success stories in sales almost always come from people who learned to pick themselves up, analyze the failure, and adapt. They didn't let the fear of failure overshadow their potential for greatness.   The best salespeople—and frankly, the happiest people—know that failure is inevitable. Rather than avoiding it, they embrace it. They feel the pain just like anyone else, but recognize that bruises eventually fade. You just have to keep moving forward in order to heal. At the end of the day, resilience in the face of failure is a choice. It doesn't always feel like one, especially in the raw moments right after you've messed up, taken a big hit, or find yourself on your back in the dirt.  But as soon as you reclaim your power to stand up, brush off the dust, and climb back on—whether it's a literal or figurative pony—you'll find your perspective shifting. Failure no longer holds you hostage. It becomes a footnote in a broader story of your determination and personal growth. Failure is Only Final If You Make That Choice So, the next time you bomb a sales call, lose a deal you thought was a lock, get yelled at on a cold call, or face an embarrassing situation in front of your peers, remember: you get to choose. Will this be just a bruise, or will you sear it into your psyche, turning it into a tattoo of permanent self-doubt?  My challenge to you this week is when things go wrong, to look up and get up. Get back on the phone. Set another meeting. Propose the next big idea. Trust yourself to learn, adapt, and keep going. Will yourself to stop and make one more call.  Because failure is only final if you decide to never get back on that pony again.

Nick Cegelski breaks down why most cold call pitches fail—and how to fix them. Nick explains why generic value propositions packed with buzzwords like optimize, streamline, and AI-powered sound nice but mean nothing to buyers. Instead, he introduces the problem proposition framework: leading with a vivid, emotionally charged problem your buyer actually feels, then briefly showing how you solve it. Through real-world pitch rewrites (including Ramp and Laurel), Nick shows how to ditch marketing jargon, speak in “dumb human language,” and build cold call openings that spark curiosity instead of instant objections.

A cold call on my personal mobile this week turned into a useful reminder. The call wasn't malicious. The pitch wasn't terrible. But within a minute it became clear we were in the same line of work. In this short Inside Out episode, I unpack how cold calls and outreach can go wrong not because the execution is bad, but because the context is missing. Marketing and sales are investments of time, money, and attention. When the who isn't clear, even good effort can quickly backfire. This episode is a simple reminder to slow down just enough to do the homework, understand the context, and make sure your effort is aimed in the right direction.

In "Vanity Metrics Don't Move Freight: Building Real Pipeline in Freight-Tech", Joe Lynch and Jim Waters, Fractional CMO and Founder of FreightTech (marketing), discuss how marketing must shift from a tactical cost center to a strategic operating system that drives real revenue. About Jim Waters Jim Waters is a Boston-based B2B marketing executive with a proven track record of building robust sales pipelines. His passion lies in driving meaningful conversations, understanding customer pain points, and creating compelling content that generates active pipeline velocity. A results-driven innovator, Jim was an early employee at both FRAYT and Tive, where he spearheaded Global Marketing. Jim's entrepreneurial spirit led him to build successful marketing teams at Coveo, (CVO.TO), FAST (MSFT) and StreamServe (NASDAQ: OTEX). He earned an MBA from Northeastern University and is now Founder of FreighTech Advisors fractional CMO and advisor services to companies in the Logistics Technology industry. About FreighTech FreighTech is a company that delivers fractional CMO consulting, content development, marketing and advisory services specifically to logistics technology businesses. The company was founded in 2023 by Jim Waters, a logistics and supply chain marketing veteran. Key Takeaways: Vanity Metrics Don't Move Freight: Building Real Pipeline in Freight-Tech In "Vanity Metrics Don't Move Freight: Building Real Pipeline in Freight-Tech", Joe Lynch and Jim Waters, Fractional CMO and Founder of FreightTech (marketing), discuss how marketing must shift from a tactical cost center to a strategic operating system that drives real revenue. FreighTech's Specialization: Founded in 2023, FreighTech provides fractional CMO consulting and marketing advisory services specifically for logistics technology businesses. Jim Waters leverages his deep industry experience (having scaled companies like Tive and Frayt) to help growth-stage startups turn marketing from a cost center into a revenue-generating engine without the overhead of a full-time executive. Marketing as a Portfolio: Jim argues that marketing should be treated as an investment portfolio, not a one-off cost. Just like a financial portfolio or a fitness routine, it requires time and consistency. Companies often fail because they "micromanage" their marketing, expecting an immediate ROI within two weeks, rather than allowing for the 6–9 month cycle often required to see real pipeline growth. The Death of the Cold Call and the Rise of "Stalking": The traditional sales model of making 100 cold calls a day is losing effectiveness because buyers now screen calls and conduct their own research online. Joe and Jim discuss how the buying process starts long before the sales process, with potential customers "stalking" a company's content on LinkedIn, YouTube, and podcasts for up to a year before ever engaging with a salesperson. Navigating the 2026 Visibility Shift (SEO, GEO, and AEO):  Visibility in 2026 requires more than just traditional Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Jim introduces two critical new concepts: GEO (Generative Engine Optimization): Ensuring your brand is cited by AI engines like ChatGPT and Gemini as a subject matter expert. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization): Structuring content to directly answer binary buyer questions (e.g., "How do I improve ROI in logistics marketing?"). The "Revenue Engine Blueprint" Basics: Before scaling, companies must master the basics. Jim emphasizes that a "blueprint" requires a clear understanding of the Total Addressable Market (TAM) and a refined Ideal Customer Profile (ICP). Without knowing exactly who you solve problems for, adding expensive tech stacks like Salesforce or HubSpot is simply "accelerating into a wall." The Danger of "Chainsaw" Customers: Jim shares a cautionary tale from his time at Tive about a salesperson wanting to tape a high-end tracker to a chainsaw to prevent theft. While any revenue is tempting, Jim warns that chasing customers outside your ICP is not repeatable or scalable. True growth comes from "niching down" to focus on fans and specific verticals (like Pharma or Cold Chain) rather than trying to be everything to everyone. Multiplying Reach through a Distribution Engine: Content is only half the battle; the other half is a distribution engine. This involves using a "one-to-many" strategy—leveraging partners, PR, and podcasts to amplify a single piece of high-quality thought leadership. By turning one conversation into video clips, articles, and social posts, companies build the authenticity and trust necessary for modern freight-tech sales.

We break down the exact cold call script that's helped book meetings on 1 out of every 3 connects then prove it by making live cold calls on camera. Armand Farrokh and Nick Cegelski walk through the full cold call framework they've used as operators, leaders, and authors of *Cold Calling Sucks (And That's Why It Works) from opener, to pitch, to objection handling with real examples and zero theory fluff. You'll learn how to use the “Heard the name tossed around” opener to break the telemarketer stigma, why context-first openers outperform permission begging, how to pitch by leading with the problem (not the product), and how to handle objections using the 'Mr. Miyagi method' without sounding pushy or desperate. Then they pick up the phone and make live cold calls showing exactly how the script holds up in real conversations, where reps usually get stuck, and how tone, confidence, and EQ matter more than saying the “perfect” words.

Cold calls. Tight lanes. Government freight.In this episode, I'm talking with Garrett Bowers, owner of Bowers Trucking and an SPI Logistics agency owner, about what it takes to build a steadier carrier business when the market is doing what it always does.We get into why he swears by early-morning prospecting, how he thinks about tighter lanes and saying “no” to the wrong freight, and what changes when you stop treating sales like something you do only when you're panicking.Then we go into the rabbit hole most carriers ignore: government freight. Garrett breaks down how he found opportunities around Tinker Air Force Base, what the Defense Logistics Agency actually does, and the practical first steps to get started (yes, SAM.gov is involved). Plus, the kind of freight that makes for a great story later, including hauling the Air Force One staircase.What we cover: ▪ Why early cold calls work ▪ How to choose lanes that keep trucks moving ▪ Government freight basics: where to start and what to expect ▪ The operational standard required for military shipmentsWatch this episode on YouTubeFeedback?

Being a probate real estate specialist brings a unique kind of pressure to the work we do every day.When the market shifts, income feels uncertain.When calls get emotional, the conversation carries weight.When regulations change, both licensed and non licensed folks adjust right alongside the families they help.Here's where a probate real estate specialist stands out.When the options you present feel clear and safe, families respond with trust.When choices feel rushed or confusing, they pull back.This coaching call walks through the conditions that help a probate business grow.The same way real estate pros create movement by giving families choices that protect them and still support your work.You will hear questions from agents, investors, wholesalers, and new professionals stepping into probate for the first time.If you are building your foundation, the call gives direction.If you are scaling, the call shows what to tighten so momentum stays steady.Timestamps/Highlights :00:00 What has to be done in setting up a well rounded business with probate6:20 When you choose probate as your main thing, what makes it worth your time, energy, and money16:20 For non license folks, what needs to be in place for you to feel confident that you get paid fairly when a lead chooses to list24:30 What happens when probate becomes the core instead of a side option in your real estate business37:50 What makes an option feel safe, practical, and respectful for heirs, and how to communicate those choices in a way that still supports your work46:06 How do you decide which leads help your momentum and which ones slow you downIf these questions match what you deal with now, then this call helps you see your next move as a probate real estate specialist or someone entering the space.If you want to understand how probate fits into your long term business, this conversation gives you a clear view of the path other professionals are taking.Watch the call and notice which part connects with you first.Your response usually points to your next step.

A probate real estate specialist does not succeed by  "just copying" one tactic. Results come from choosing a business model that fits how much time, money, and responsibility you are prepared to handle. This coaching call breaks down how different models actually perform, what happens when deals become more complex than expected, and how professionals adjust without burning out or losing control.If you are deciding how to structure your probate real estate business, the timestamps below help you compare options, pressure-test your current system, and see whether it can support what you want next.Hot takes/Highlights: 00:00Different probate business models and where each one breaks downMail-only systems, attorney-centered referrals, cold calling, ISA support, and paid automationThis section helps you decide whether predictability, control, or cost matters most to you as a probate real estate specialist.13:03Squatters, repairs, time investment, and unexpected expensesWhat happens when responsibility expands beyond the listing and how to think through fees and boundaries before it happens again.32:53Listing agreements with administrators and estatesWho signs and how contracts are typically handled35:30How partner calls work and when they make senseUseful if you are deciding how much support you want versus doing everything yourself.37:00How consistent effort compounds over timeThis helps you evaluate whether your daily inputs match the results you expect long term.37:58How much probate business actually exists and how much typically turns into transactionsThis section helps you decide if your market can support your goals before you overbuild a system.42:34Deciding how much business you wantThen asking whether your current system can realistically produce it43:30Reverse mortgage referrals connected to probateIdentifying motivated situations and filtering opportunities46:47Presenting options based on speed or moneyThis section shows how probate real estate specialists position choices so clients can decide without pressure.If you are refining your approach to probate, these sections help you see what aligns with how you want to operate and where adjustments make sense before scaling further.

Probate real estate marketing becomes easier to commit to when you can clearly see what is working, what is supporting trust, and what is quietly wasting effort. This coaching call looks at how professionals structure their probate marketing through vendor relationships, visibility channels, and direct conversations, and how those choices shape results over time.A recurring theme in this discussion is alignment.If your marketing activities require more time or emotional energy than you can consistently give, friction builds.If your systems depend on channels that only work under specific conditions, results become unpredictable.This call helps you evaluate whether your current probate real estate marketing setup matches your capacity, your market, and the kind of outcomes you want to support.You'll hear how specialists decide when tools like Google Business Profiles function mainly as credibility checks versus lead sources, how follow-up materials such as probate resumes clarify positioning, and how vendor relationships become referral channels when handled with consistency rather than pressure.The goal is to recognize what needs to be in place before scaling effort, spending more money, or expecting stronger referrals.The timestamps below help you pinpoint where structure, clarity, or support may be missing:2:15Building vendor teams around estate administrationEstate administration vs estate creationHow presenting yourself as a coordinated solution increases referral confidence6:37Three pillars of probate real estate marketingChase, Attract, and Sphere of Influence How balance reduces dependency on any single channel14:20Google Business Profiles in probate marketingWhen they support trust and verificationWhen they realistically contribute to inbound activity18:06Sending credentials after probate conversationsWhat a probate-focused resume clarifiesHow positioning affects follow-through31:37 / 32:12Softening early conversationsLanguage choices that keep dialogue open rather than guarded42:58Adjusting outreach based on contextHow flexibility and volume influence consistencyWhy rigid scripts often limit results

Probate real estate leads respond better when your business follows a clear path instead of a mix of unfinished setups. If your leads keep coming in but your system to handle them still feels halfway built, this call helps you see what a complete structure can look like.This session walks through three clear paths for a probate business, the numbers behind a full partnership model, and what happens when a pipeline runs long enough to compound. You will hear how agents  and investors  can plug in their own data, how old lists can still support early months, and what changes around month six when systems, coaching, and lead flow all point in the same direction.This call fits you if...➡️ If you already have probate real estate leads and no clear follow through, then you need a simple way to see where each contact stands.➡️ If you keep going back and forth between building alone or joining a partnership, then you need to hear the economics explained in clear terms.➡️  If you want a business that can keep moving even when you are not prospecting at full speed, then you need to see how ISAs, mail, and resource packages support that outcome.Highlights and Hot Takes: 1:19 Three paths to running a probate business and how each one handles time, money, and support22:20 Using your existing data inside the system and what needs to be true about those leads26:08 Pipeline on autopilot, how calls, mail, and resources keep probate leads moving toward you39:15 Monthly economics for a full partnership and what that looks like in practical numbers46:00 Options for partners who stay beyond six months and how expenses can shift as results grow48:28 Split structure for investors who move deals through this model49:54 What happens if you decide to end mentorship or partnership once systems are in place53:14 Paths for running a lighter version of this setup when you want lower spend1:07:22 Expected outcomes once these systems are implemented and given time to workWhen this matches where you are with your probate real estate leads, watch the call with your own market in mind and decide which path you want to commit to next.

In this episode of Hanging With The Hoopers, Andrew goes solo and sits down with Mike Simon, the founder of Agent Brief and a returning FNF Energize Conference sponsor.Mike isn't just another vendor in the title space…he's one of the few people building real tech that actually supports what title sales is supposed to be about…relationships, consistency, and showing up at the right moment with real value.Mike's career runs deep…Realogy, Keller Williams, Coldwell Banker (including leading Coldwell Banker International Franchising)…then a pivot into prop tech where one core idea hit him hard…Most people use real estate data the wrong way.They use it to look backward…who closed with who…who “stole” what…who's on what deal.And Mike's take is simple…there's no sales opportunity in historical data.So Agent Brief was built around something different…Identify actionable moments in time…so title reps can stop making “checking in” calls…and start making timely, value-driven touches that actually build trust.In this conversation, we get into• Mike's path from big real estate leadership roles to building a product company• Why he believes most title reps misuse data…and what they should do instead• The core Agent Brief philosophy…timing + accuracy + consistency• “Relationships aren't a moment in time…they're moments over time”• Why cold calls fail…and how to turn outreach into value instead of spam• Mike's leadership lesson…humility, accessibility, and listening at scale• His take on AI…why automation isn't the goal…and why relationships still win• Why Energize matters…and why he keeps coming back• The question he wants every title leader to ask him at Energize“You want to grow…how does Agent Brief help me do that?”If you're heading to Energize, go find Mike…press the flesh…talk growth…talk timing…and walk away with a cleaner strategy for building relationships that actually convert.00:00 Intro and Mike's impact on title sales00:39 Vegas vs Maryland weather01:20 The Richmond road trip and Mike's vision01:40 Mike's background…Realogy, KW, Coldwell Banker03:33 Why historical data doesn't create sales opportunity04:33 The Agent Brief mission…actionable moments in time05:06 “Relationships are moments over time”07:37 Why “checking in” is a useless outreach strategy10:09 Leadership lesson…humility and accessibility15:42 Mike's AI take…support humans, don't replace relationships21:43 Why Mike keeps sponsoring Energize26:20 The one question Mike wants at the table28:10 One word Mike's team would use to describe him28:41 Closing…and yes…another Baltimore to Richmond car rideHanging With The Hoopers explores the Attitude of Leadership through real conversations with industry builders, operators, and role models.Connect on LinkedIn and share what hit you from this episode.#HangingWithTheHoopers #HoopX2 #AttitudeOfLeadership #SparkThought #InspireAction #Leadership #Podcast⏱️ Timestamps

After nearly 200,000 cold calls and a million auto-dialer calls, Stephen Oommen discovered something shocking: 98% of his revenue came from warm referrals. Today, he breaks down how sellers can turn relationships into predictable growth. In this episode, host Lyndsay Dowd sits down with Stephen Oommen, a 25-year go-to-market veteran, speaker, and author of the upcoming book The Referral Effect. Stephen shares why nearly 98% of his business revenue came from warm referrals, despite making hundreds of thousands of cold calls throughout his career. Stephen opens up about growing up as the child of immigrants in Oklahoma, navigating an identity crisis that ultimately became his superpower—the Chameleon Effect—his ability to adapt, connect, and create trust across any environment. That skill later became the foundation for his referral-based sales methodology. You'll learn: - Why executives don't respond to cold outreach—and what they do respond to - How to close the trust gap by scaling warm referrals - The "Magic Networking Question" that instantly upgrades your network - The 99 and 1 Principle for managing energy in sales and relationships - How leaders can balance intensity, kindness, and long-term legacy If you're a B2B seller, founder, GTM leader, or executive tired of low-yield outreach, this conversation will challenge how you think about networking, sales culture, and growth.

Everyone loves a success story, but what we don't talk about enough is what it costs to get there.And what it's like before the money is wired or anyone cares. Before all of that, there was a guy with a phone, a thesis, and a long list of people telling him no.That guy was Cole Wilcox.In this episode, Stacy Havener sits down with Cole, CEO & CIO of Longboard Asset Management, to talk about what it really takes to build an investment firm when you don't start with pedigree, proximity, or institutional backing, just conviction and the willingness to keep going when quitting feels rational.In this episode, you'll hear:How one cold call turned into Longboard's first $5M Why founder-led fundraising is unavoidable in the early years, no matter how strong your strategy isWhat it feels like to hear “call me at $100M”… and then hear it again at $1BHow surviving multiple market crises permanently reshaped Cole's relationship with riskThe moment Longboard nearly shut down, and the structural pivot that kept the firm aliveThe real cost of broken partnerships (and why people issues end more firms than markets)What resilience actually looks like when walking away feels like the logical moveWhy staying power might be the most underrated edge a founder hasMore About Cole:Cole Wilcox, Chief Investment Officer at Longboard, has specialized in trend following investment strategies for over 20 years.

YouTube for Real Estate changed everything for this couple, and they didn't even start until their late 50s.In this video, I sit down with Stephan and Leslie Gleason to talk about how they used YouTube, Passive Prospecting, and simple real estate videos to build a thriving real estate business in a brand-new market. They didn't know anyone. They didn't have a big sphere. And today, they are the most watched real estate YouTube channel in their area, closing multiple six figures in commissions without Zillow, cold calls, or door knocking.If you've ever wondered whether YouTube for Real Estate actually works, especially in a small market or later in life, this conversation will open your eyes. We talk about what made their channel stand out, how they got their first phone call just days after posting, and why YouTube leads are so different from traditional real estate leads. They share what types of videos worked best, how often they post, and how being real and consistent helped people trust them before ever picking up the phone.This is a real, honest look at how Passive Prospecting works in the real world. No hype. No shortcuts. Just clear proof that YouTube can still work for real estate agents who are willing to follow a proven process and stick with it. If you're thinking about starting YouTube for Real Estate or wondering if it's too late, this video is for you.If you're interested in learning more about YouTube for real estate, we'd love to show you how to build a Passive Prospecting lead-generating machine using YouTube for real estate!

In this episode, David sits down with Ali Amin and Omar Eltabei from Lead Stream Call Center to break down what running 2 million seller calls per year actually teaches you. They reveal how they hire top-performing cold callers, the data that really moves the needle, why 60% of deals come from “generic” lists, and how they diagnose weak results across different markets. If you want a clear look at cold calling at scale, this conversation lays it out. KEY TALKING POINTS:0:00 - Intro0:40 - Ali Amin And Omar Eltabei's Business & How They Started3:35 - Transitioning From Engineering To Real Estate4:32 - Their First Deal They Called7:31 - Hiring A Talented Cold Caller11:31 - How They Handle Data15:31 - How They Diagnose Issues & Handling Acquisitions21:04 - Their Pricing Structure24:24 - Outro LINKS:Instagram: Lead Stream Call Centerhttps://www.instagram.com/lead_streamcc/ Website: Lead Stream Call Centerhttps://www.leadstreamcallcenter.com/ Instagram: David Leckohttps://www.instagram.com/dlecko Website: DealMachinehttps://www.dealmachine.com/pod Instagram: Ryan Haywoodhttps://www.instagram.com/heritage_home_investments Website: Heritage Home Investmentshttps://www.heritagehomeinvestments.com/

Jason hits the phones to prospect into sales and enablement leaders, sharing his live approach between each call. With a 30% connect rate (thanks to Titan X) and 11% conversion, you'll see how Jason handles objections, switches messaging mid-call, and learns in real time. Think cold calling is hard? Try doing it live for 90 minutes, under studio lights, in a room with no AC, with a crowd listening to every single word you say. That's what the #1 outbound sales trainer, Jason Bay, did to prove he can do more than *teach* cold calling — he can actually get on the phones and *do* it himself. We rolled the cameras, loaded a list of exclusively executive level prospects he'd never met, and let the chaos unfold. You'll hear how he structures his cold calls, adjusts messaging on the fly, and reflects on what could be improved after each conversation. Includes practical takeaways for improving connect rates, objection handling, and setting meetings with senior buyers. ✅ Get the Outbound Bundle (scripts + cold email guide): https://www.30mpc.com/course/cold-email-course
