Cold calling for cash value life insurance is an easy way to nibble at the 10 pound elephant in the room.

I have been trying to cold call for biz p&c. I use reference USA for info, but my script obviously stinks. I try to make the 20 contacts a day, but I admit I get discouraged and stop at 5 ish.

I just see cold calling as an annoying solicitor. At least if you have some sort of relationship with the client, even if it is a very old one, you have some familiar ground to be on.
But if you have a great sales person who is comfortable and can sell ice to an eskimo, put them as your cold caller and best of luck!

How did you find your telemarketer? Is he/she an individual or do they work for a specific company? Do they use a specific list to make their calls from?
20, you need to be calling 50-100. You'll get nowhere at 20. Cold calling for commercial insurance is easy. You just have to do it.
I have been in the insurance business for 34 years now at what could be considered near the top... I have a large agency, with producers and partnership agencies... I cold call each day....!!! I have found that to teach and work with new producers, csr's etc... telling them how great I use to be doesn't seem to be as powerful as getting more leads everyday than anyone else in the limited time I have to call... everyone knows how busy I am so if I can do it, no one has an excuse....
