War gut, aber hätte an vielen Stellen detaillierter sein können, vor allem in Bereich, konkrete Sätze vorzuschlagen. Gate Keeper und Appointmentsetting hätte tiefer ins Thema einsteigen können

This sales training is packed with actionable insights, from creating effective scripts and handling objections to staying motivated and using tools like standing desks. The emphasis on mindset, preparation, and gamification really stands out. While a bit lengthy at times, the tips are practical and easy to implement, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their phone sales skills. Highly recommend!

The amount of fairly simple knowledge, that should seem very obvious but is sometimes something that needs to be pointed out for a person to see, is very helpful, useful, insightful and will help a lot moving forward in my career.

It was an amazing experience getting to know and learn more key points in the sales environment. Reviewing this course has aided me and also made me improve my customer skills, to build better and stronger relationships with clients.
By Jeanette Eichele on 10/4/2023
This course is a steal for the price. He’s so thorough, easy to follow, but my favorite part about it is that he teaches from a place of empathy and understanding rather than listing ways to make a quick and dirty sale. It’s exactly what I was looking for.
By Leo Oxtoby on 9/6/2023
Great content - Course goes into depth and Rob explains brilliantly how to approach different styles to a cold call. Dependant to who may be on the other end of the phone, each style is a brilliant guide on where to set off. Resources are easy to follow. Engaging and guidance available for anyone dipping their toe into the deep shores of telemarketing. Highly Recommended.
