Today I\u2019ve got something very different for you and I hope you love it as much as I do. Shannon Selis describes herself as a Jill-of-all-trades and a Master of Puns. She loves to find creative ways to do her job as a BDR at Mediafly, and as you\u2019re about to find out. She\u2019s got a dash of talent that she\u2019s able to apply. Here she is:<\/p>\n<p>Shannon Selis: <em>You think all salespeople are savage and you&#8217;ve had so many cold calls, I guess it must be so.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>But still, I cannot see, how the savage one is me.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>How can you hate someone that you don&#8217;t know? You don&#8217;t know.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>You think I&#8217;ll call just any lead I land on.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>You think my chosen careers kind of lame, <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>but I know every account on my LinkedIn, every person, every title, every name.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>You think all salespeople, aren&#8217;t people.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We&#8217;re not people who think and feel like you.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>But if you walk the footsteps of a sales rep.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>You&#8217;ll learn things, you never knew. You never knew.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Have you ever gotten a call from a strange number or wondered how this person got your cell?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We all get that information from zoom info.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>So please do not tell me to go straight to hell.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Treat me like I am a person. Please don&#8217;t yell.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I research every person on my lead list.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I&#8217;ve qualified each company on earth.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I send out custom emails on the daily, yet you curse me and make me wonder what I&#8217;m worth.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I figured out the pain points for your persona.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I test out your objections on my friends and still, I have to consider Corona with a sales cycle in a year that never ends.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>How much can I hear the word, &#8220;No&#8221;?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>if you hang up now, you&#8217;ll kill my ego and you&#8217;ll never hear the voicemail that I&#8217;ll sing to you because you won&#8217;t give me a chance to speak.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Will you at least let me get through my pitch first.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I promise listening will not make you seem weak.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Getting rejected is a skill, but I&#8217;ll keep calling you until you can see I&#8217;m just a person in sales.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Scott Ingram: If you like this.
