Leslie: good points - sometimes that phone can feel like it weighs a ton and is too heavy to lift again.
When a string of rejections starts to make me want to avoid the phone, I take a break and psych myself up by telling myself that there is someone out there that both needs and wants my product. I need to get through all of the rejections so that I can reach this next “yes” and solve their problems for them.
This seems to give me an amazing boost of energy. Somewhat coincidentally my next call generally IS a “yes”!

Your comment is awaiting moderation.Dr. Jim: you make good points yourself!
Your phrasing “psych myself up” is critical to ongoing success in cold calling. When talking face-to-face with prospects the majority of sales professionals learn skills that eventually become automatic — seemingly instinctive. Sellers choose body posture and words that will impact the prospect’s psyche in a way that is favorable to buying and/or leaving the door open for another conversation about buying.
When it comes to cold calling, however, the need to learn a new set of skills is rarely considered. Then, on the magical day when the light bulb goes on and sellers clearly see the need to learn about cold calling - then and only then do they give themselves the option of “psyching themselves up”. There is a genuine need for we who cold call to “sell ourselves” on the possibilities waiting for us on the other end of the line!
