Key Quotes:

  • “Oftentimes, you're using a notepad just as a crutch, because you don't want to do a direct entry. But if you challenge yourself for 30 days to hit your personal best and maximize your potential, you'll get there and save yourself a ton of time, effort, and headache.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
  • “Do yourself a favor, limit your time spent on follow up so you can focus on cross-selling and following up on new business. In that way, your clients respect you and respect what you're doing. Also, you're getting the job done.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
  • “I believe that if you dedicate a little bit of time to researching, to contact the right clients, you're in a good spot. If you're not taking the time to research and you're dialing for dollars at a great list, you'll get your different approaches and your different results. So, check it out and make sure you understand that cold calling is not the worst thing. Cold calling is an important sales skill, and if you can master that, you'll have a long career in sales.” - Kelly Donahue-Piro
