    Default Cold Calling

    I had to get on the phone today and start drumming up some more business and follow up on leads. I always hate it but once I start,k I get in a groove and just keep going. It helps out everytime I do this but getting in the ol salesman mindset is not always easy to do. It could be worse and I'm not bitching.

    I think "got any booze or weed?" comes between "shirts?" and "No?"

    It's funny because I just keep going until I get someone. The mom and pop shops that order 50 -100 t-shirts keep me in business. Than I also hit the streets with
    samples and business cards. I'll do this tomorrow
