You gotta know the product backwards and forwards but some clients are gonna be arseholes no matter what.
You can make some serious money though if you're good

Understandable. People expect you to be an expect on their operation the moment you step foot in their facility.

I don't know how you do it. Man the worst is when a vendor does a lunch and learn and everybody grabs something to eat and don't even bother to listen to the presentation. Especially the mechanics them baws will walk right in the middle of the presentation stack a plate full of food and walk out. Zero frick were not considered let alone given. The savagery is on a whole 'nother level. I just sit there take notes and try to ask some softball questions so the vendors don't fell like shite.
I at least sit through the presentation while I eat. The second I'm full I tend to get a "phone call." The worst is when some business development guy comes to do a lunch and learn but doesn't fully research what our company does and end up doing a 45 minute presentation and spending a couple hundred bucks on food only to be told they are no use to us.

Yup, that salesman did not do his homework.
It is simple ask someone about their business or in my business customers about what they are trying to accomplish.
They usually will tell you and you find out what their needs are.
If you know your products or services you can come up with real solutions.
People will seem interested in your product and possibly buy it.

Try cold calling for political campaigns. That shite sucks
That must have been an interesting experience. I have fricked with a few of those callers. I can only imagine the things you have heard.

You gotta keep hammering. Sooner or later they will want something you have.

Cold calling sucks for the first 6 months or so, but once you're able to build a client base and a relationship with people it gets a lot better. People work with people they like, and getting someone to like you over a fricking cold call is tough.
Some of my best clients started off with them telling me to frick off in the beginning. Now? My company is flying me to the Grand Caymans for a 4 day vacation, all expenses paid for because of the sales I was able to generate out of those same clients.
If you're not being persistent, you're being passed up.

Retail Cellular Sales, most major carriers you will make 50K if you have a pulse. 70K if you're good. Not to mention top notch benefits.
This does not include working for indirect retailers that sell service for companies. You have to work directly for Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T Mobile.

I could not do cold calling. I sell an essential commodity that my General Contractor clients have to buy. I would suggest looking into vendors that sell commercial construction industry products.
Glass
Steel
Concrete
Flooring
Electrical
Elevators
HVAC
The list goes on and on. Very little cold calling and the ones you do call need your product. You are not pushing some bull shite that they could do without. You just have to do it better than the other guy.

Quit being a pussy. Cold calling is an essential step in getting the cash. Thats kind of like asking how to get ripped without going to the gym. If you don't like putting in the work, don't expect the rewards. Selling isn't for everybody and if you are asking the question you are asking, it isn't for you. Go to work for somebody and bitch about not making enough money like everybody else.
