cold calling starts from 1:19:00
thanks, appreciate it!
🙏🙏🙏
I really enjoyed the cold calling insights in this video, but if you are like me and looking to maximize your outreach, cold emailing should be part of your arsenal too. Mystrika has been my go-to for the past half-year. The user-friendly interface combined with features like A/B testing have really optimized my results. I especially appreciate the email warmup pool, which supports multiple languages. The community of users is another perk-super supportive when you have questions! Give it a look and see for yourself, you might be surprised by the value it adds to your cold outreach strategy.
This is such a top value video. There are so many "marketing gurus" on here using clickbait titles and promising how to get clients by cramming a bunch of reused info into an 11 minute video full of ads without even hitting the top of the iceberg. The reality of dealing with clients and being in the business of social media, marketing and creative work is laid out right here. Ty Mr. Do, supporting The Futur and wishing you the best.
Thank you.
1:17:00 Chris Do Cold Calling - time stamp!
Some of the most valuable knowledge I come across is from this channel. I super appreciate your time and efforts into each video. It always motivates me to become a better version of myself. You're changing business and education already.
Thank you.
This is probably one of the best AMA’s yet! Loved seeing Aaron do some roll play. More of this please!! ❤️
The amount of value in this video was the most impactful for 2 years if me watching theFutur. At the end, that piece was so psychologically deep that in the end I now have a pitch idea I was struggling to complete, and a clear vision of where I'm stuck in life. More than that. This video (and this whole channel) teaches you how to move from wherever you are. theFutur empowers to progress. I don't need a therapist when I can have this)
yay! thanks Yuri.
Watching this three years later... Still so relevant and helpful!!! We love you Chris & the entire crew!!!
I really like role playing because its not theory. You can learn theory but when its time to negotiate I find it helpful to hear the actual backroom language you use in these scenarios. Thank you!
Love the Mindset shift. My spin is I take each call as an opportunity to better my sales call skills. Listen better, ask more questions, talk less and learn more... if I get the client its a win, if I don't get the client it's a Learn. Like Nelson Mandela said... I never lose, I either Win or Learn.
1:19:00 cold calling
Gautam Mourya thanks! too much talking
You mean too much value? Haha all jokes aside, I recommended watching the whole thing
@@edgar123456789P hahah yes, these people are master at what they do, but it's good to revise few lessons when you're in little hurry ;)
1:49:29 The most realest and deepest truth spoken!! I couldn't have agreed any more and also took away a very well spoken reminder to LIFE. The appreciation for it. How time is always guaranteed to run out and to maximize that time. That gave me an enormous amount of motivation just now, damn.
Why we need to know our creator. Jesus
My goal in life is to find a way to create value for Chris. I'm not sure what that looks like quite yet but, if he ever becomes a client, direct mentor, acquaintance...whatever, then Ive made it. Thank you tor the content, insight and perspective, @thefutur
"Aaand... just recently... we're also on Spotify!" It was definitely one of those wait for iiit moments.
I dropped my fork and jaw when you said Spotifiy. I always listen to podcasts on Spotify- namely TED NPR. I'm so glad The Futur made it over! Thanks- literally perfect. I've never followed a podcast before but I just searched it up and followed it on Spotify- whatever that means. Hopefully it means notifications. Thanks again for pushing the envelope on awesome content!
We love the futur and the staff. Lost without you guys!
Thanks mike.
I'm learning a lot about business and clients here even though I'm still a student! I'm graduating this year, can't wait to apply all this knowledge!
I just applied the 1820 presentation avoided the deadly sins and won the contract
Thank you guys. Im learning a lot from you all.
My notes
11:49 What are the other ways I can find hot leads?
1:04:08 Tough Negotiation
1:19:41 Cold Calling
Much Love and Respect to all of you Guys.
thanks so much for all the insights and lessons
The lighting is spot on, guys! A nice upgrade.
This was the best stream I've seen from you guys. I learned a lot from your role playing scenarios between Chris and Aaron. I couldn't look away. Thank you so much.
thanks Joseph. it was totally fun and unscripted.
Quality videos this week with great role playing and insight. Liked hearing the story of the business partner who gave Chris a bad feeling. Best to stop this kind of situation early on and avoid headaches down the line. Practice practice practice to become better at the business of design
Listen to your gut.
That soft light caressing Mr.Do's face is 👌!
asif zzaman Stop the video at any moment and he has an edited profile pic :)
as a photographer..i've always thought of the lighting being kinda wonky in these videos. it's not distracting, but i am always surprised by how amateur and harsh it looks. the content is amazing so it's hard to complain.
Thanks!
Listen to you guys everyday. You've been very important for my creative agency!
Glad to hear
Hi @thefutur!
Just to let you know the pitching by Chris is on mark 1:17:02, not on 51:00.
Thanks for all the great content you give us. =)
Matthew is love, Matthew is life
Where were you hiding all these years Chris!! Love everything about this channel
Hiding in plain sight.
I got so much value from Mathew’s explanation of case studies @ 9:50. It’s almost as if I was meant to find this video. I’m late but better late than never 😎
Welcome to the Futur. better late than never.
Thank you so much for the superb content. I am super non-confrontational, so this role-playing and client insight are really helpful.
To Aaron, a story to share. Jack Ma got interviewed with a question.
He is asked how he can go through all these years hard work and consistently put himself into breaking situations with fears and discomforts. He got praised for going through such a gruelling years. The interviewer said if for him he will suffocate.
Jack’s replied, “I should be the one who admire you. To live a life without progressing and stayed stationary. If for me, I will be suffocated.
Another amazing video guys... Thanks a lot. I love the part where Matt tells CHris: "we should do a role play where you do a cold call to sell the service", and Chris goes like: "I CALL TO SELL MY SERVICE? Ok let me try" hahahahahaha
How did I do?
@@thefutur like you use to, annoyingly well. Hahahahaha.
No, seriously. I find myself cold calling right now and it was quite interesting to learn to focus the calls as trying to find people you can help, instead of trying to sell (what you guys have saying for ages). As always: thanks a lot for this videos, they are way more useful than even you might think.
this was entertaining and educational. People who aren't even into design can watch this content.
Appreciate it!
this is probably one of my fav RPs i've played this back to back a few times
The Futur is am amazing channel to get new ideas, thank you guys a bunch!
That cold call, smooth as butter
"smooth like a butter"
When I actually "don't need" this video for now, but because there's those two shades guy in the thumbnail that I watched it. Lol. Still, i learned.
1:16:48 Inspiring! Self respect Positive energy
Matthew is such a good client for role plays
just love YOUR content, all of you + I LOVE Chris' way of thinking and teaching:))
I've seen this a bunch of times and it's always good.
Great content. I appreciate what you do.
Thanks for putting it out there.
wow guys this is huge and helped me understanding more the negotiation in life not just in business, thank A LOT :)
This video really highlights the art of cold calling, but if you are serious about broadening your approach, do not sleep on cold emails. Mystrika is all-in-one solution provided me with unlimited sending addresses and essential AI writing tools for personalization. This has allowed me to cater campaigns to individual client types effectively. It is cost-effective and downright versatile, making it perfect for businesses of all sizes. Definitely worth flipping the stone and adding it to your arsenal!
Loved this episode, always know I'm gonna invest in valuable time when watching you guys !
Non-linear paradigm truth both are right because transcend logic, to the level of Happiness and Love
You are great! So much value! :) (I 've been applying Core in my process... it was a game changer for me)
it was for me too!
Why does Aaron, Nick and other guy give me my money dont jiggle jiggle vibes 🤣. The coolers and the atmosphere. Coools and poor Aaron tho It is lil fun to watch I feel the heat in the processor
Haha.
Thank you so much, excellent video as always! :D
Getting stoned at work. Perfection.
THIS IS GOLD....i totally felt this video negotiation
This is the best video ever! Thank you so much the futur! ❤
Thank you.!!!
Hi Team! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Could you do a lesson about digital filing systems? What's the most efficient way to work on servers and name folders and files? Thanks a lot
Can't wait to meet all the other contestants!
see. you on the show.
You just gotta love chris.
Issue is linear and non-linear paradigm: linear paradigm is to assume if you prove they are wrong that means you are right but non-linear is both can be right
damn, those are so true about the "what can you do for us" type of businessman or professionals. I've had experience with most of them from government and crappy businesses. You're not gonna wish to work with them, they will belittle you and squeeze you up to the most extent just to make use of you for their own interest.
1:08:02
Aaron's "I see" had me try so hard to stifle my laughter
Same here 😀
Haha. And the way the both laugh.
Quality content once again guys.
Great episode! I will try some of your techniques at tomorrow's meeting with my the client.
good luck Marek
Hey The Futur Buddies,
You're doing an awesome job
The 3 man crew on the other side was on fire too... literally
I'd like to suggest that you guys check out content from Jim Kwik
He's a memory expert who'll blow your mind
And I really mean it
You'll no longer run into problems when trying to remember previous topics
And you can do that in a FAST and FUN way guys...
I love your content and I believe Jim's SUPER BRAIN program will elevate your content to the next level
Anyway, Happy Friday 6/3/2020 from Kenya
@thefutur team and Sifu Do, it would be cool to show some love to the YG applicants that weren't selected. A token gesture that helps their development you know. Maybe a limited release of some of the sustainer/pro member content, some merch, etc. You guys are probably on it already, but it goes a long way to build community.
Note to self - 1:19:29 start
I love seeing Mr Do or Do Not
this is gold.
1:13:00 , start from where the roleplay ends , somewhat back from the timestamp
1:17:00 roleplay
1:24:00
1:49:29
Awesome work you guys
Great Video and a lot of insights as always!! On a different note, the 4th contestant's name is pronounced ''My-trey-eee'' :)
Haha...I appreciate it!
Aaron Leveled up !!! Toss up some fire emoji. Good job
Great as always everybody. I missed it I wanted to ask you guys a question about the 3D industry and how you see the futur(e) of it because I have a bad feeling that it will be wiped out like crazy.
By the way the light Chris.....ohhhhhhhh yeahhhh!!!😎
My fav channel
Your designers of course your in the merch business! Lol God is a Designer is my favorite.
Agree with all of the above! But I'd like to underline that the 'relationship' end of this HAS to be genuine. If the 'cold call' or email comes off like a hustle, of if it's apparent that you're a middleman of some sort, it will almost always fail. These things work when the relationship is direct and 1 to 1.
Non-linear paradigm is where joy health Love abundance friendship happy relationships are
mathew is great, but do is gold!
the Futur Rocks...................
”Who told you guys to burn all that material in there?” 😂🤣😂
1:34:03 where is that video?
It’s been too long for me to dig this up
I wish I could do this kinda of sessions with somebody. Seems cool.
love those role plays.
29:52 - and you got him! 👊💥
After this intro I am definitely down to work with The Futur ( not that I wouldn't before hand )
Gold content!
Can you guys please give links of the podcast channels on Play music and other platforms too?
Great video
Love this!
The best school ever.
Aaron could have expressed what he was needing in order to take the project at a lower rate, or what his going rate would be to get the job done with the deliverables mentioned in the conversation.
J'aime votre énergie, Amazing !
merci beaucoup.
i feel like having two channels is too much, don't you believe for example, making a website where you can have the youtube video links, where you can organize everything by categories/pages ? i believe that would be better so you can see the full curriculum, it will be even better because the videos will be organized like lessons
Chris Dojo!
Thanks
I think y'all should do this Young Guns again but no limits. Old vs Young, college vs streets.
Idk which was funnier, angry not understanding Chris persona or Aaron the Beauty Salon Owner. 😂
Can't seem to find The Futur Academy. Anyone have any luck? Maybe they haven't created the channel yet?
We are about to launch it. We need to make channel announce video.
Dang Matthew is good at being a tough customer
what was beat at the beginning of the video?
hahaha fun episode guys
Ya'll are the closest thing to friends I've ever had. Haha. Yea its messed up but I'm ok with it if you keep making videos
Happy to be your friend.
Your videos leveled up my game in a week flat. I'm selling cakes and pastries to restaurants, and doing it with confidence! I will be saving up for your courses. Thanks for being real, the roleplay is especially enlightening.
Note to none designers: this channel is a goldmine for business in general, stick around
1:03:42 "Pentium 486"? No such thing, dude. Intel made 486 CPUs but Pentium was a later generation. Nice impression of the Intel sound though 👌
