Wondering how to turn your artistic sensibility into profit? Being inspired to create art is easy. Developing new business, on the other hand, is not. Given today's economy, knowing how to easily, inexpensively and effectively reach potential new clients is a must. Wendy Weiss is a former ballet dancer who understands both the artistic process and cold calling. In this interactive workshop, based on over 15 years of real-life, hands-on cold calling experience, Wendy teaches specific techniques which enable participants to use their creativity to terminate telephone terror and turn cold calls to cash.

Topics include:
• Developing a can't-miss marketing plan for cold calling
• Eliminating Telephone Terror and Call Reluctance
• Creating cold calling scripts that make prospects want to see you
• Breezing past the screens/gatekeepers and handling the voice-mail barrier
• Doubling the number of face-to-face appointments set
• The forgotten wisdom: It's not what you say, it's how you say it.
