Cold, Hard Calls: Take the 30-Day Challenge
A defensive entrepreneurship go-to strategy for increased work, income, exposure, traction
When Diana Schneidman approached me for help producing her book, Real Skills: Real Income: A Proven Marketing System to Land Well-Paid Freelance and Consulting Work in 30 Days, I more than kind of wanted to publish it myself. Sure it was the evergreen topic aimed at a broad, hurting demographic in an easy niche like business/self-help, and sure Diana’s dry humor, direct approach, and natural writing style was fun to read.
But the clincher was her premise. It was insane. And when I read it, I knew she knew what she was talking about and that her knowledge was hard-earned from firsthand experience. This wasn’t recycled and repackaged pap.
Work on making 1,000 phone calls in a month and you’ll land the business you want and need. Yeah, that’s about 50 calls a day for 5 days a week for four weeks. It’s a sort of “Don’t Break the Chain” of phone calling.
