That's funny! Good single malt scotch, say maybe a quart, might also help

Yep, you nailed it. Hearing "no" is a good thing. "Yes" is great, but we get to "yes" a lot faster the sooner they say "no".

Any friend of Thomas Jefferson is a friend of mine. Referrals are so much more productive than cold-calling, I don't understand why agents don't ask for them more. Fear of rejection, obviously.

Cold calling is entertaining when it's successful.

Mark, it's a guy who requites! That's not hard to understand. Actually. Merriam-Webster defines requiter as a noun meaning someone who makes a return or retaliates. I don't think the poster knows what it means.

We are watching 24/7 365 days a year and 366 in leap years; however, because of the sheer volume of errors we let some things slip by, viz., using then when than is meant. (A very common error)
You also forgot your and you're; and the commonly misused to/too combination!
!As I have stated several times on this forum in numerous threads.......cold calling is how I get new clients almost exclusively. I keep it fun by not having a full script at all!!!!! I have talking points that are the same in every variation of my intro but every new phone number I dial I try to introduce myself a different way. It keeps me in a groove so I am not sounding dull. starting a conversation is key and humor comes along with that. If I make a cold call laugh during the initial call I normally get a f2f with them.
to answer a ? that was on the first post.....YES. and more often then you would imagine. I ALWAYS ASK "do you know anyone who might benefit from having a conversation with me much like the one we just had??" I just got two med supps off a cold call that was going no where (lady was ignorant as heck and didn't care cause she is dual eligible)....I asked her and she immediately said yes, gave me her parents phone numbers and names. waited 20 minutes and called them (they were waiting for my call as their daughter called them before me). they were so happy to get answers to common questions with documentation that my answers were correct according to CMS and DOI here in Michigan.......just goes to show that seniors who sign up direct with companies or actually listen to the stupid people they hire at the commission on aging are not well informed on ALL THEIR RIGHTS AND OPTIONS while on Medicare!!!

Don't forget "their" and "there"..You also forgot your and you're; and the commonly misused to/too combination!
