"I really like cold calls as a way to sell and I think this actually is because I began sales doing this. When I was in college, my internship was with a home appliance company selling kitchen appliances. My entire internship was focused on making cold calls, and it really allowed me to learn how to create connections with people over the phone and how to sell in a really difficult setting, which I loved. I actually had about a 50% sale rate for calls made, which for interns was really great. I think cold calls are one of the more challenging ways to sell, but I find the challenge to be a big motivator."
