MOTIVATION

Y'all, I am lazy AF. I hate making cold calls even though I think I'm pretty good at them. I have a funny opener, can build rapport well, but just dread interrupting someone's day. Also, the fact that no one picks up.


So I challenged the rest of the SDRs on my team that if they can book more cold calls than me tomorrow I will send them $20.


What are some other ways you or your team have motivated each other to kick ass?

Light a fire under their ass. Like...literally. Nothing more motivating than avoiding a charred asscheek.

Same. It costs a lot of money to be me.

Cocaine isn't cheap. It's expensive. You gotta make money.

When I was an SDR I got pretty tight with the guy that sat next to me and we constantly bet lunch on who would book the most demos before lunch that day.

SDR bingo. Make a game board with all the hits, "Waiting on another call" or "I thought you were someone else" or "Send me an email/brochure" (lol brochure). You'll break your dialing finger trying to get them all.ย

See how many No's you can get. Or keep things light (like you have) with a small wager.

I did this with my whole company to get them to understand what itโ€™s like cold calling - โ€˜cold call Thursdaysโ€™ (or any day you like) where you give everyone a cold lead and they have to ring in front of everyone else to feel the pressure of what we go through everyday. Once my team saw that the ceo and the CTO etc did it and struggled, my colleagues were way more comfortable just dialling the keys. I guess, try and make the comfort zone as comfortable as possible!

I feel this I love money and it does motivate me but sometimes I just wanna call quits and do nothing work related. I have about 2 full 8-5 days in me per week max
