That is such a good point. I did some telemarketing in the beginning of college - not my own product, so much easier to make a "game". I always got a lot more "no's" than "yes's" but I still got enough "yes's" to be at the top of the sales list each day. Also - one of our biggest retailers said No way! at first, but I kept going back and they love us and we sell well there. Thanks for your input!!!! Keep sharing. Hi Pam and welcome!

That is such a good point. I did some telemarketing in the beginning of college - not my own product, so much easier to make a “game”. I always got a lot more “no’s” than “yes’s” but I still got enough “yes’s” to be at the top of the sales list each day.

Also - one of our biggest retailers said No way! at first, but I kept going back and they love us and we sell well there.

Thanks for your input!!!! Keep sharing.

On the subject of cold calling: I word in sales for quite a few years and even was a trainer. The most imprtant thing to remember is you have something they can use. Regection is not at you personally. No does not always mean forever. Keep posting. I’ve been reading your blogs and enjoying your venture into the sewing industry.
