The Joy of Cold Calling

In this episode of the Graphic Sales Stories* podcast, Peter and I explore the ups and downs, and downs, of cold calling. What drove the meaning and lessons behind the comic, "The Joy of Cold Calling" and why despite it all you should keep dialing. We also share quite a few tragic stories of our years of cold calling ourselves.

*If you're not familiar with Graphic Sales Stories, I invite you to check it out. It's a look at sales through a comic book format. All comics are written by Peter Cleary and me and illustrated by Eli 5 Stone. No AI is used in illustrating these stories.

My goal is to entertain while also teaching. We use humor and real stories to help illustrate a point (pun intended) and to help the lesson be remembered.

I also use these stories in my training materials to help reps retain information better.
