Why is the Whole Cold Calling Thing So Stressful ?

What is your conversio rate?
Mine is 1-2% and I think that is extremely low. Some telemarketing experts make 5-10%.

Cold calling? That send extremely high, 1-2 sounds about right.

I not only sent you a number of emails, but I called 4 times. You never got back to me.

I need advice. Why won't you help me?

Calling at 3am and breathing heavily while not saying a word doesn't quite count as calling for advice.

Conversion rate depends on what type of lead you are cold calling. Even if you are calling aged insurance leads for example, it is still a cold call even though it was an inquiry one month ago, two months ago, etc. because they did not specifically request that you call them at this time. Cold calling a list like this can have a higher conversion rate because these are people showed interest in a product that you are calling them about.

Now if you are cold calling off of a demographic data list for example then if you are doing 1-2% conversion, this is a good conversion.
