How do you feel about making sales calls? Are you intimidated about the idea which causes you to shrink back from the idea of making some calls to prospects? Making outbound calls or sending emails and engaging people can be a challenge. We are all bombarded with “scam likely” calls and way too many emails that many shrink back from doing what will help them grow their business. In this episode,  Outbound Calling With a Serving Mindset, Jason Bay shares his insight as a master of outbound calls. There is a ton of value he provides in this conversation, this is just a glimpse of it below. “I think that's super important and that's something that I'm really fascinated with prospecting. It's so important. Like when you pick up the phone and make a call to a prospect, or you send an email or you reach out on LinkedIn, what's that experience like for them to be on the receiving end of that? Because you're not the only person reaching out to them. So how do you stand out? How do you do this in a way that feels good, you know, to do, how do you do this in a way that's effective because outbound is getting much harder.” Website: https://outboundsquad.com/ Bio: Jason Bay is Founder & CEO at Outbound Squad™.
