"Cold calling is the lowest percentage of sales call success. If you invest the same amount of time in reading this book as you do in cold calling, your success percentage and your income will skyrocket."- Jeffrey Gitomer
Cold calling has never been fun, but it's less and less effective. Rumbauskas describes the reasons well, although no one will be surprised if you've given or received cold calls - We're all busy, and we don't appreciate being interrupted by some salesperson trying to sell us something we don't need or aren't ready to buy. Yet many sales organizations are stuck in the past, with sales managers repeating the same old lines they were told years ago, such as "Increase your activity," meaning do more cold calling.
Rumbauskas describes a number of alternatives, including using technology to identify and reach prospects. One of the key points of the book is that salespeople can be more effective if they use a system of techniques, rather than just one magic bullet technique. This systems approach is the 21st century way to apply the old advice for improving sales. - From quoting a reader

Frank J. Rumbauskas Jr. started his sales career cold calling to no avail, failing to make his numbers, only to receive the useless advice of "increase your activity" from managers. He then went into a trialand-error period of several years and developed a complete system of selling that made him a top producer without cold calling. Author of the self-published sensation Cold Calling Is A Waste Of Time, Frank lives in Phoenix, Arizona, where he is a partner in several businesses including an insurance agency, a telecom services provider, and, of course, his sales training company, which strives to educate all salespeople that there are much better ways to prospect than cold calling.

From the publisher
Salespeople everywhere are learning the hard way that cold calling doesn't work anymore. Yet, millions of salespeople are stuck in the past, using twentieth-century sales techniques to try to lure twenty-first century customers. There has to be an easier way to find prospects - and there is. Today's most successful salespeople are using modern technology to bring prospects to them, rather than fishing for prospects over the phone or knocking on doors.
Never Cold Call Again offers practical, step-by-step alternatives to traditional cold calling for salespeople, small business owners, and independent professionals who are actively building a client base. The Information Age presents endless opportunities for finding leads without cold calling. In fact, Frank Rumbauskas's system brings prospects to the salesperson, rather than the other way around. Readers will find unbeatable sales advice on effective self-promotion, generating endless leads, how to win prospects using e-mail, prospecting on the Web, networking, developing effective proposals, and much more.
Frank J. Rumbauskas Jr. provides marketing consultation and coaching services to firms who wish to provide qualified leads to their sales force rather than have them spend productive work time cold calling. He is the author of the self-published hit Cold Calling Is a Waste of Time.

As a salesperson I always try to improve and have read almost every book out there trying to better my sales. This book is THE best sales book I've read, bar none.
The title is misleading but not in a bad way. It implies that the book will teach you how to generate leads without cold calling, and it does, but that's only one part of this outstanding three-part book. The first part is fantastic eye-opening general sales advice. Alone worth the price. The second part is the nuts & bolts, the step-by-step system of how to drop cold calling and have leads coming to you instead. The third part is all about how to develop, present, and close your proposals, and to be honest it totally blew my mind because the techniques and processes are so amazingly powerful it made me re-think everything I'd been doing up to this point.
I've read some good sales books and plenty of garbage (the publishers seem to crank them out as fast as they can). This is one you don't want to miss - solid, practical advice from a man who obviously walks his talk. |

I highly recommend this book for anyone in sales or sales management. The book explains, in a very matter-of-fact way, all the reasons why cold calling no longer works (it's very eye-opening and really makes you understand why prospects hate receiving cold calls so much). Then it goes into an extremely detailed, step-by-step plan that will have you generating leads without cold calling in no time at all. The book is very practical in how it teaches you, unlike other books I've read that promise to show you how to stop cold calling but only provide convoluted theory and no step-by-step techniques like this book does. It provides a wide range of strategies that you can use, so there is something for everyone here regardless of what industry you are in. Finally, the last section of the book explains a very powerful - and again practical and step-by-step plan - to writing proposals, presenting, and closing in such a way that no 'hard sell' is necessary and that prospects will naturally be enticed to buy from you. Very de-stressing for anyone in sales. In all, this book is a must have for anyone who wants to stop cold calling and become a sales superstar in the process! |

This book is absolutely a goldmine of information put in simplistic form and bullet points for any and everyone to read and understand. If you want to increase your profits, income, bottom line, net worth, READ and APPLY every principle in this book. |

An excellent, common sense read that offers alternatives to a practice, (cold calling) that is dreaded by many. There are those of us who hate to interrupt or bother someone who is busy doing business, Mr. Rumbauskas offers different ideas how to contact potential clients, without making a nusiance of oneself. |
