Very good tips and I have been doing the same! What I liked and stole from you is that you said I can only work with one or two stores of you type! That is powerful and makes it important for the owner to decide to meet and possibly work with you! Awesome line I will be using!!
Dan, great video - thanks for the value. I like how you didn't fall into the trap of sounding overly excited or positive. Just very objective, calm, casual. Didn't sound salesy at all. But most of all I think how natural you made it look. There's lots of theory on cold calling and all these techniques.... You just made it a natural conversation that just flowed. Doing something similar on my end after watching this. Massive value. Thank you!
This man literally uploaded 2 fire videos just to help the whole SMMA beginner community and then disappeared. Respect and I would love to hear more from you!
Dude... your video is pure Gold! I started Cold Calling 3 Days ago First day: struggled to find words Second day: Build a script vom Scratch - called 15 Companys Got confident but didnt made any appointment - saw some week points in my script and updated it ----Saw your video on night---- Third day(today): Didn´t made it salesy, build up a relationship to their existing campaigns, so i could connect to somethinh - TLDR - fixed an appointment with a big Company Chain :)))
Cold calling scares me, have my first one today. I am trying to get on my cool. This video helped a lot. Your confidence and ability to think on your feet is great. Love it.
Daniel, that's a great video, really appreciated the time you took to share it and glad you did. I think it dispels the myth that cold calling is a hard sell. You show that just a friendly conversation can open doors and work like magic. Thank you.
I have yet to resonate with someones attack at a cold call like yours. You nailed it, I love how you approached it and this is exactly how I will be approaching all of my cold calls starting today. Come back and make more videos if you have the time! I wanna see where you are at
Man I have to say, first off this was very helpful. You have really gave me a new way to look at cold calling. Second off, I don't even know you in person but I was super proud when the calls were successful. Keep up the great work.
Brilliant, we need more tips and advice from your knowledgeable self 😁 I’ve got a question, when you go to the meeting what type of things will you talk about, I understand you give your methods on how you’ll grow their business and get them leads but a video demonstrating what you’ll say will be great? And also how do you know what type of business your going to call?
This is a powerful video. Takes some balls to cold call like that but takes confident balls to post a raw video. Amazing work my man! How many clients we got? Probably a full agency by now huh
@@HannahTran1 you dont need to just cold call for outreach there are different methods like freelance websites and cold emails and regarding the meeting you could do it virtually on zoom and close the client online nothing to be scared about take that leap of faith, the least the prospect could say is no lol
@@user-vr8uy6cc6g true yea, I’m somewhat shy so I guess I’m just afraid of them questioning something and what if I’m just not sure what to say or just trip over words. I’d love to outreach to hotels though
Great first video, really helpful to see you do a real time cold call. Definitely is easier to understand and comprehend seeing it in action. Keep up the good work!
Hey, great video! I work in marketing full-time, but I'm looking to pick up a couple of clients on the side and manage their socials. Do you recommend any courses for setting up a social media freelance business?
Great video Daniel! I’ve been looking into social media marketing, but I honestly have zero experience with it. It’s refreshing to watch someone who is just starting out. Gives me hope that I might one day figure it out as you have.
Thank you for getting to the point. There’s other videos on RUclips about cold calling that are 32mimutes long because the host has someone on the video with them talking about themselves like I give 2shits . Great video bro ⚔️
I've watched quite a few of these videos. This is by far the best! Really, really informative. I'm almost exactly going to use your script, it's very in line with my offer and pitch I had in mind. This confirms it and enabled me to improve. Thank you!
Hey Daniel, just stumbled across this video and saw your content. Incredible value in your channel, I'm impressed. I would just like to ask a few questions; how do you find numbers to call? Are you looking through a phone book or something? What types of businesses are you niche-calling? Are they small, local businesses? Or small business owners? I live in Adelaide, Australia which is a small city where most businesses are huge businesses, not necessarily small businesses. Also, everyone is so suspicious and sketchy here. A lot of people are suspicious and scared to spend money if it meant it would bring their business more value, profit and customers in the long run. I've dealt with some un-organised people (in the head) and they've given me a bigger headache than what was worth my skill. In regards to all of this, may I please have a script that I could use both on call and in text that is both effective and uplifting? Thanks Daniel!
Linkedin, companies house if you are in the Uk, their Fb page... Contact page on the site/about section. A google search with insert restaurant name then owner. There are a bunch of ways to find the decision maker. It's pretty easy to do if you do your due dillegence on the company. Good luck.
Good video Daniel! I started a own business in webdesign and social media for local businesses. I started cold calling today and at one point of you I don't agree. A few times I get the receptionist at the phone and I asked if I can speak to the owner of the company. They said the boss isn't there and ask where I call for. So I told them convincely my reason to call that I analyse their website and there are a few points I would like to discuss because their is room for improvement and I want to help to grow their business. Then the receptionist said the boss was already looking for someone that could improve their website and I can mail them. So I think when you also convince the receptionist you probably could add value to their business, they will bring you in contact with the owner. :)
Nice done Daniel! I have one question though. You mention that in the past you have sent thousands of emails. What do you think of opening with a script like: "Hey I'm Danial and do so and so, I have sent you an email about..." Do you think it is OK to send an email in advance and then on the call to mention that you have sent an email? Thank you and cheers!
Hey Daniel! In the beginning of each call, do you ask for the decision maker by his/her first name or last name? (i.e. "May I speak with *first name*?" OR "May I speak with *Mr/Mrs. last name*?"
Very nice! These videos will help me a ton! I'm about to take a class now and am super nervous but watching as many videos like yours as i can! Please keep them coming! Also if you can post more often, I'll turn on that bell and dedicate time to watching your videos and helping out your channel in that way plus comments.
Great advice!! I’ve yet to land a meeting. I’m starting to think my voice doesn’t sound serious enough :( guys definitely have a more affirmative voice by nature
Nice work Daniel. Just came across your channel. I will subscribe. You seem genuine. Thanks for the video. Just curious, were you able to sign up the first call for your SMMA?
Thanks for the encouragement. I have set up everything I need in order to start receiving and serving clients. Now I'm at the point where there's nothing left to do except get on the phone and I just can't yet bring myself to call anyone. I'm glad I found this video. It eased my anxiety quite a bit. I guess its time to grind.
Floris A I hate to say it, but no. I tried cold calling for about a week, but I wasn't getting anywhere with it. I decided to redirect my efforts towards facebook groups, and not much luck there either. I really don't have any sales experience to speak of either. Any tips or advice?
Jonathan Boykin try checking out Bradley Riley’s accelarator group, it’s not really a course but it Will give you lots of motivation from other people on the exact same track, we have a live call tomorrow at 12pm uk time
Jonathan Boykin you can always rewatch them if you join the group, we have Made 3 calls of over 90 minutes and he also gives a 1 hour class on different things every week. The first was getting clients on LinkedIn Second for getting clients on upwork etc we can also ask questions in our group chat and you’ll get info from everybody and learn from them. It’s at least worth checking out for 50$
Awesome content Daniel. Super original and straight to the point, keep it up man. I’ve been running FB ads for my e-commerce stores and FB pages for past year and a half and recently I’ve been considering starting a SMMA here in San Diego, if you want to connect and share some knowledge let me know.
Hey! Am totally new to this so I want to ask you a question but please dont assume it like silly one coz I dont know about all this am just strating out. If I reach out to a business and close a deal with them as a SMM then I have to take payment before my work as I have to pay for ads and promoting their content like all that or do I have to do work first with my own money and then Ill get paid. Please answer this bro?
Nice job on your first video, Daniel. I think we have a lot in common. I too just posted my own first RUclips video and I am in digital marketing, mainly SEO. So what made you decide to do SMM instead of SEO? Also, I noticed that you had a list of names, what if you don't have names? Thank you so much, Daniel. I would love to connect and learn more from you.
Doing lead generation generates results faster than SEO. When you start an ad campaign, you can have leads in 24 hours. So, I do my own SMM, and email marketing, but I sell SEO, as well, and outsource it.
Awesome first video bro!! Nice work on that meeting.
Thanks a lot man, trying to catch up haha
Jordan Platten- I am following you both now..
I know you busy so I'll be quick - Jordan Platten
Can you please make more cold calling videos! : )
Dude this is quality
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
when asking for the decision maker in the beginning of every call, do you say their first name or last name? (i.e. first name vs Mr/Mrs. last name)
Sean Singh First name
Very good tips and I have been doing the same! What I liked and stole from you is that you said I can only work with one or two stores of you type! That is powerful and makes it important for the owner to decide to meet and possibly work with you! Awesome line I will be using!!
I love the fact you are doing cold calling for real. That is GREAT!!!
first call was gold. a lot of subtle nuances that led to the owner opening up more to a meeting with you. good job man!
FEAR = False Evidence Assumed Real. Keep Rockin it :)
Diego Could also be False Evidence Appearing Real
OMG DUUUUDE
Good for you bro, hope it went well with you...
How did it go
You close the deal??
i closed a deal today, shit is real
What niche are you guys in
Dan, great video - thanks for the value. I like how you didn't fall into the trap of sounding overly excited or positive. Just very objective, calm, casual. Didn't sound salesy at all.
But most of all I think how natural you made it look. There's lots of theory on cold calling and all these techniques.... You just made it a natural conversation that just flowed. Doing something similar on my end after watching this. Massive value. Thank you!
Hey Daniel! Way to go this is how i built a six figure agency making calls it works...Thanks.
Thanks, Daniel! Just landed my first meeting from the first call itself.
This man literally uploaded 2 fire videos just to help the whole SMMA beginner community and then disappeared. Respect and I would love to hear more from you!
The man, the myth, the LEGEND
I've been a Corp. Trainer for Cold Calling for many organizations, that was top notch in every way.
I agree - STRONG 💪
Wow. I’ve been working with the sales mentality and cold calling with no success. This boosts my confidence 💪
How is the cold calling going for you now?
Dude... your video is pure Gold!
I started Cold Calling 3 Days ago
First day: struggled to find words
Second day: Build a script vom Scratch - called 15 Companys
Got confident but didnt made any appointment - saw some week points in my script and updated it
----Saw your video on night----
Third day(today): Didn´t made it salesy, build up a relationship to their existing campaigns, so i could connect to somethinh - TLDR - fixed an appointment with a big Company Chain :)))
hey im also looking to start cold calling , whats a good way to find local business owner numbers?
You can make one or two appointments or other valid follow-up per every 60 calls.
Just don't give up.
Cold calling scares me, have my first one today. I am trying to get on my cool. This video helped a lot. Your confidence and ability to think on your feet is great. Love it.
Great conversation with the pawn shop owner he seemed very relaxed and open.
Thanks, yea he was cool
It’s scary how emotionless you are
😂😂
omg i laughed so much
It’s actually an asset in many ways of business. You won’t get to emotionally happy for wins or too sad at a failure. This guy is sharp as a tack.
😵💫😂
What you mean is focused. That is what a focused human being looks like.
This was very helpful and enjoyable! Better than reality tv if you ask me LOL. GREAT JOB!!!!
This is crazy! Landing a meeting on your first call, very inspirational. You have a lot of courage Daniel, I am routing for you here in the UK! 🇬🇧
Thanks Craig, that means a ton man!
Bro you get a like on the vid in the first few minutes for booking a meeting on your first call of the day-well done!
Tried it and it worked like magic with every client I called! Thanks Daniel
Really like how simple this video is but still have a TON of VALUE. Thanks man, Keep up the work.
Thanks Daryl, I'm really happy this gave you value!
Damn! You hit the first appointment on your first call!
You're insane, Daniel
Had to subscribe your channel.
Keep sharing such gold nuggets
Daniel, that's a great video, really appreciated the time you took to share it and glad you did. I think it dispels the myth that cold calling is a hard sell. You show that just a friendly conversation can open doors and work like magic. Thank you.
I see that fanatics prospecting. Let's get it bud!!!!!!!
I have yet to resonate with someones attack at a cold call like yours. You nailed it, I love how you approached it and this is exactly how I will be approaching all of my cold calls starting today. Come back and make more videos if you have the time! I wanna see where you are at
Absolute masterclass in tone of voice
Love the sense of scarcity you created narrowing their company down out of others. Fantastic work!
Bro it's awesome... Everyone who are in the same role they really need this.
Man I have to say, first off this was very helpful. You have really gave me a new way to look at cold calling. Second off, I don't even know you in person but I was super proud when the calls were successful. Keep up the great work.
RUclips recommending underrated channels??? awesome finally
Thanks so much
Nice one. Why no more videos for over 2 years? Did u forget ur RUclips pass 👀 r u safe! Thanks for the video 👍
I love the content of this video, very natural, a lot of determination and good result!
Hey man, incredible video that was awesome. My question is how did you research the presumed business owner’s name?
Thanks! And I found the names on Yelp.
Nice work... Did you make the move to Amazon FBA or still do this on the side?
Curious to know what happened to the Social Media Agency business!

Did a great video. I'm a fellow agency owner. Always seeing what others are creating. Found this simple, to the point, and valuable. Well done.
I’m scared watching this 😭😂I’m 18 and just terrified to start but I really want to 😅
start you wont regret it, im 16 just started outreach
@@user-vr8uy6cc6g I’m nervous to cold call, I know we don’t got to do cold call but I’m even more nervous for interviews lol. How are u doing ?

I needed a video like this.
Glad you found it helpful!
Good job! This is very good content that no one else is doing. It is very helpful! Thank you!
Daniel, great video. Please do one on how to bypass gate keepers.
Thank you for getting to the point. There’s other videos on RUclips about cold calling that are 32mimutes long because the host has someone on the video with them talking about themselves like I give 2shits . Great video bro ⚔️
Hell yeah Daniel! Great first video bro, keep at it!
Thanks Chandler!
Just starting my career in the sales field. Thanks for this video, man! So useful!
awesome call. I have worked in the call center for 5 years. you have done a great ethical call with a booking. superb. upload more calls like this
This is a great video man! I hope you jump back on. What did you use to organize all your contacts/Prospects?
This was great and provided awesome insight for me. Thank you very much. I look forward to exploring more of your content :)
I've watched quite a few of these videos. This is by far the best! Really, really informative. I'm almost exactly going to use your script, it's very in line with my offer and pitch I had in mind. This confirms it and enabled me to improve. Thank you!

You said this is your 1st video? You are very very good! Good stuff Daniel Smilansky! Keep on doing it.
Good Job man.... always keep up the good stuff!
I don't think you mentioned how you're asking for the decision maker. How do you find the owners name or decision maker?
Ricky Rocks i’m having the same question indeed
yeah wondering the same
Yelp
LinkedIn is a good resource for that
Linkedin, companies house if you are in the Uk, their Fb page... Contact page on the site/about section. A google search with insert restaurant name then owner. There are a bunch of ways to find the decision maker. It's pretty easy to do if you do your due dillegence on the company. Good luck.
Nice to see someone who is just starting out. What camera did you use for the youtube video?
Nikon D3100!

Awesome man, how many clients do you have now?
Hey Daniel! In the beginning of each call, do you ask for the decision maker by his/her first name or last name? (i.e. "May I speak with *first name*?" OR "May I speak with *Mr/Mrs. last name*?"
Don't say their last name, it's more casual if you say their first name.
How do you know who the decision maker is?
I would say "Mike, the owner" because there could be other Mikes working there.
the manager if you don't know their first name
Great work! I was able to pick up a few tips myself :)
Great stuff here! Solid way to prospect. Just be human. 👍
Very nice! These videos will help me a ton! I'm about to take a class now and am super nervous but watching as many videos like yours as i can! Please keep them coming!

I am going to be starting up videos soon as I have many new updates to share!
Daniel Smilansky awesome! I cant wait!
Did you close any deals from these cold calls? Are you still pursuing SMM? Any updates? Thanks.
This is gold.
Great advice!! I’ve yet to land a meeting. I’m starting to think my voice doesn’t sound serious enough :( guys definitely have a more affirmative voice by nature
That's a self limiting belief, babe! You can do it. Have faith in yourself and just rock it!
Very valuable information. Thank you!
Nice work Daniel. Just came across your channel. I will subscribe. You seem genuine. Thanks for the video.
Just curious, were you able to sign up the first call for your SMMA?
Thanks for the feedback! No I actually wasn't able to sign them up as they already had an in-house marketing team.
Daniel, man, this is some solid content. Do you have any tips on how to go about structuring the meeting when you meet face to face with the client?
Thank you man, my first call and the potential customer told me to call her back January.
Dude this is gold
Thanks for the encouragement. I have set up everything I need in order to start receiving and serving clients. Now I'm at the point where there's nothing left to do except get on the phone and I just can't yet bring myself to call anyone. I'm glad I found this video. It eased my anxiety quite a bit.
