Publisher's summary

Are you ready to conquer your call reluctance?

That is the promise of this book! Everybody is promoting something, and most of us have some resistance to the process of getting other people interested in whatever you are offering.

The resources in this book are a reflection of 30-plus years as a full-time sales performance coach. This information has helped thousands of people break through their barriers and find the will to make the prospecting calls they need to make. Many different perspectives are presented because everyone is different. The key is finding a state of mind that allows you to take action.

From a bigger perspective, this book is about how to positively deal with the resistance you have to doing what you need to do to succeed. There is a part of you that doesn't want to take any risks, but there is a part of you that is practically fearless. If you can learn to block out the part that is putting on the brakes and listen more carefully to the part that can do anything...you can find a way to make the prospecting calls you need to make!

He turned me down

we were scheduled for a call to discuss coaching, however I didnt get to the confirmation email that day and by the next day he must have been booked because I got a cancelation and a few pdf resources to browse. So I looked online for his book. Thought it would be the same old "just do it" hype but bought anyway. I was wrong. I have severe call reluctance and this book helped.

More psychological than I thought—excellent

This is good for those who are not pushy sales people or people who try to close everyone they get on the phone. It has lots of good anecdotes and practical advice. I especially liked the final chapters. It was an overall good listen. I recommend it if you’re feeling stuck and overwhelmed trying to start your business by making phone calls—for any business in any industry. These tips are timeless.

Make those calls!!

I ordered this after reading about Sidney in an online selling forum that I am in. I watched a couple of videos and decided I had to have this. He is a great source for call motivation but I don't feel like he is the household name that he should be. He speaks clearly and doesn't have the distracting twang of some other motivational speakers. I recommend this!

Very Effective!

The content of this audio book is most relevant to anyone who does prospecting for a leaving. The authors reading style is very easy to listen to. I felt like he knew exactly what I go through and had the solution to overcome it. He may have saved my sales career.

Exactly what I needed to hear

I bought the paperback after listeninhg and am going through the book again. One of the best, revelant and intelligent books I've heard on sales.
