Hi Jennifer! I feel your pain just thinking about going door to door. The best way to show your employer that your way works just as well (if not better) is to prove it with numbers/results. Of course, ultimately, they’re the boss … so if they want you to pound the pavement to prospect for new clients, I’m not sure how much choice you have in the matter. But if you can put some data together proving your methods are effective, you might be able to take it to a higher-up and see what’s possible. Just a thought! 🙂

I am 46 and have been a sales rep about 15 years. I love cold emailing. And nowadays “Facebook messaging” too. I absolutely hate prospecting door to door. In fact I have huge anxiety about it. Problem is, my office EXPECTS me to do walk ins between my booked appts. How do I tell them my way works too??

Your approach to getting clients through emailing really made sense to me. So many other copywriters push cold calling. I just wasn’t sure if I could do this. I’ve been thinking about copywriting for a while now. This one of the deciding factors in helping me to make up my mind to join the CCA and really go after it. Just joined about 2 weeks ago. Thanks for all you do.

I am a current CCA student, I love love love this advice. I think of the cold calls I receive, and they are often telemarketers. They irk me and are bothersome, so that has been my concern about cold calling prospects when I get to that point. I love this system and appreciate the advice. Thanks for everything.

In reply to Danny Allen. Absolutely, Danny! There's a major difference between showing the value you have to add and begging for work. Thanks for commenting! :)
