Learn the “primal instinct” reason why cold calling is not working for you – and start killing it. In a day.
If you hate cold calling then you’re in good company.
Most salesmen absolutely dread picking up the phone.
They spend hours making calls. At the end of the day, they have been told to screw off in twelve different ways, hung up on a few times, and managed to get through a few calls… that felt like running naked through a minefield.
And probably, they have nothing to show for it.
Day after day, with no results, no performance to speak of… it takes a toll.
But it turns out, there is a very specific reason why things go wrong.
And if you know what it is, then you can handle it… and turn your cold calls from a stressful, anxiety-filled nightmare that gets no result… to a positive (and profitable!) experience for everyone involved.
That’s why, if you are:
A salesperson looking to crush your sales targets, advance your career, and you’re tired of people telling you off on the phone…
A small business owner on the hunt for new customers, but you’re struggling because it seems there are no sales to be made…
A sales manager who wants to find some way to turn your sales force into a group of salespeople worth a damn…
… then you want to keep reading because I’m going to reveal to you the simple reason, rooted inside the most primal part of your brain, why phone sales are crushing your soul.
And I know that sounds like a tall order.
Especially since the internet is full of fluff when it comes to sales. Outdated techniques. Pushy tactics that only work in the movies. Posturing by people who don’t actually cold call for a living…
So let me tell you exactly when and where I stumbled on the key insight that turns sales chumps into sales animals.
My name is Dominic, and I have been cold calling since I was 17.
And unlike most people, I always enjoyed it… but the lesson that made all the difference came when I started as an account manager at Groupon.
Well, I was there back since the early days of the company, before Forbes called it “the fastest-growing company ever” on their cover. And well before it IPO’d with a market cap of over 12 billion dollars…
In those early days, Groupon was a straight-up “daily deal” kind of website. We were cold calling businesses on a daily basis to convince them to advertise on Groupon.
And man, was it rough.
You see, we were convincing them to offer a discount coupon that, after Groupon’s cut, ended up barely covering their costs.
But in reality, it was a good deal: they were getting lots of free advertising, and they just had to break even with a few customers in exchange.
The problem? We couldn’t even talk to them.
Because as soon as they heard “Groupon”, it was over. They were mentally checked out of the conversation. And once that happens, you’re done.
I know now it was a primal survival instinct kicking in…
It was a barrage of “Not you again, for f*** sake” and “Stop calling me and die”.
All we could do is grind… and grind… and grind…
… call after call after call, in a soul crushing deathmarch dialing hundreds of numbers each day to find something, anything to slap on the deal page before the deadline expired…
Bottom line, we had a good offer, but nobody wanted to listen to it.
They were “not, and never will be, interested in this cr*p, and please die in a fire”.
I knew if we could make them see how good the opportunity was, then they would be in.
But how?
Honestly, it all comes down to what I discovered randomly on a Friday night…
I had my TV on, and a documentary caught my attention.
It was about apes — you know, doing what apes do. Beating their chest, flinging poo, confronting each other, fighting for supremacy… But that’s not what grabbed my interest.
They were saying something about how apes react to perceived danger, and that was when I first discovered…
You see, deep inside your brain, in the part of it that deals with the most basic primal instincts (like hunger, anger, fear), is the amygdala.
And the amygdala’s role is, essentially, to help you react quicker than thought when there’s danger around. And since anything unknown and unexpected could be dangerous…
When something unexpected happens, you don’t think.
You just react… by either running away or preparing to fight.
Your emotions get heightened. You’re on edge.
And that’s good. Because when you’re in the jungle and a tiger’s head pops out of a bush… you probably don’t want to stand there debating what to do.
The problem? Your brain doesn’t really know you’re not in the jungle!
And so, when your phone rings… and the stranger on the other side immediately sounds like an annoying telemarketer trying to push you into buying something… something harking back to the time we were wild animals sounds the alarm…
… the fight or flight response get triggered.
Your prospect goes into flight mode, and says it’s a bad time, or just hangs up, or says not interested without even knowing what you’re selling… every word out of your mouth perceived as a bared fang going for his flesh.
Your prospect goes into fight mode, and screams at you, tells you to go f*** yourself… desperately trying to get the threat to back off, to kill or be killed — no if, no buts…
But if you manage to avoid the fight or flight response… then you can have a conversation.
Once I figured out why prospects react as they do, I knew how to tackle my Groupon problem.
I had to find a way to avoid triggering the amygdala alarm bells… to start a conversation without immediately giving the “vibe” that I was trying to waste their time and pressuring them into getting a bad deal.
And then I could get across that the deal wasn’t bad at all.
Does that sound familiar? Do you ever think:
But my product is great! If only I could get them to listen…
To do that, the key is trust. So I had to find a way to create good rapport with them before they got turned off by their prejudices about the company or my role as a salesperson…
Before their primal instincts mark you as a potential predator lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce…
And that’s why all the outdated approaches you find online don’t work. Most “sales coaches” teach some kind of Boiler Room cold calling style that may make for good television… but in reality, people today are wary of sales calls, instantly perceive them as threatening, and they need to trust you to really listen to what you have to say.
In fact, if you can learn how to avoid triggering the fight or flight response in your sales calls, you will be able to:
It took hundreds of calls to tweak the system, but once I figured out what exactly was happening when they got “triggered” by our name, and managed to bypass the “mental firewall”…
Today you can learn the same techniques I teach in my coaching with my new course:

“It’s quite a unique approach but actually made me and some prospects laugh, we actually had fun …during a cold call!”
This course distills all I learned about cold calling throughout my 10+ year career since those Groupon days. It is the single most powerful cold calling system on the market — bar none.
Think about a time you had a great sales call with a prospect. They listened, you made your argument, and it turned out, you could help them. It was great for everybody involved… but that was only possible because they did not immediately feel threatened!
Now imagine if it wasn’t random, but you knew exactly how to avoid triggering the primal tripwire that screams “danger”. What results could you get? How many more calls would you close?
How much would that be worth to you, across the length of your career?
You will get:
Get Crush Cold Calling to start saying the right thing to your prospects, instead of triggering their primal survival instinct… starting from your next call batch.
If you are thinking “Dom, I’m not sure this will work for my industry, my industry is special because of X, and Y, and Z”…
Let me be frank: you’re wrong, and you’re making excuses to avoid change.
If you sell on the phone, this is for you.
I believe that deeply enough that I’m ready to make you this 30 Days, 100% money-back guarantee. You go through the course, adapt my scripts (and if you think you can’t, I’ll help you myself), and test them on your next batch of cold calls.
And if you apply the contents of this course and get no improvement in your results, I will personally refund every dime of your money, and also eat the credit card fees.
No. Cold calling isn’t “easy”. It’s hard work.
If you’re reading so deep into this page you know that already.
So no, this course is not a magic pill, and you still need to put in the reps yourself. But if you’re going to work hard, don’t you want to use the right tool?
While it might not be easy, however, it can be simple. Follow the system, get results.
On the other hand, cold calling is definitely easier to handle when every call doesn’t feel like a fight to the death in the jungle… that’s true.
If you actually pick up the phone and call… it will.
Because unlike other cold calling courses, these techniques were developed in the trenches, and I actually use them — every day — to sell all kinds of stuff.
Other people use them to sell all kinds of stuff. I have used these techniques to train salespeople from marketing agencies, car dealerships, stock brokers, web design agencies , tech companies, and more.
It’s worked for them, why not you?
My techniques are based on human psychology and primal instinct triggers, not gimmicks. They are not dependent on what you sell, on who you are, or your personality.
Adapting the script from the course to your own sales needs is extremely easy.
It’s really all about replacing the relevant parts — the structure (which is what does all the work!) remains the same.
You already know the ins and outs of your own offer, so I guarantee you won’t have an issue.
Believe me: you might be worried about it now, but you’ll discover it’s so easy you don’t need any help.
You know what though? No problem.
You will have access to an exclusive facebook group – with 1 on 1 coaching and feedback from me and other members.
The bottom line is: if you are going to cold call, whether at your job or for your business… if you’re going to make twenty, thirty, fifty calls a day… you might as well do them right.
And look, forget about outdated techniques and Boiler Room style “tough guy” calls.
If you really want to learn how to have powerful sales call results, get past gatekeepers, and get meetings with decision-makers… the way is to learn how to avoid triggering the fight or flight response in your prospects. It’s that simple.
The Crush Cold Calling In One Day course is the only training you need (other than good old practice) to get your cold calling skills to world-class.
Are you ready to get your cold calling and career to the next level?
