Hustlers,

Ok, so this week I dove into the odd world of cold calling and door-to-door sales.

Cold-Calling

I'm setting up a 6-week summer camp in a town where I have no connections but need children to attend.

My strategy was simple, call the apartment complexes in the area and let them know we're offering a free camp to their residents.

The "ask" is where things got hairy.

I needed them to a) send an email blast with my flier to their residents or b) give me a list of units with children (creepy).

I went 2 for 2 once I could get people on the phone.

One of the property managers ended up forwarding the flyer to 2 other properties and someone registered. Sweet.

Door To Door Sales

The apartment complex that is hosting us for 6 weeks agreed to give us a list of units that had children.

My wife and I knocked on the door of each unit and basically had to pitch the camp.

Out of 11 units, we only met 1 grump but he changed his attitude by the end of the convo.

One mother signed her son up on the spot and I had 3 more registered by the time I made it home.

We need 20 ASAP and we're well on our way.
