How Successful is Cold Calling?

Posted on August 27, 2015January 11, 2022 by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Did you ever do any podcasts that covers the probability and numbers game aspect of cold calling and sales? Was listening to one of your podcast episodes and seems to be a lot of similarities between trend following and cold calling.

Lots of small losses (the people who say no) and then the big gainers (the companies who say yes and become great customers).

Discipline, having and following a system, managing your bankroll (which in sales is time), cutting your losses (move on to the next call), letting your winners run (developing a long standing client who does a lot of business with you, tracking and analyzing metrics (best days to call, best times to call, best approach to use, best questioning strategies, etc).

Know any good write-ups on cold calling and math?

We Don’t All Live Forever

Hi Michael,

Love the podcast. Just started listening going back into the archives and have found it very enlightening. I have a question with regards to a comment you made in this specific podcast (364) about shooting for average and who wants to be just average. You are speaking my language there!

What is your response to people when they say they got rich because of investing in a diversified index portfolio instead of getting rich by taking on more risk?

For example, authors of books like “Millionaire Teacher” by Andrew Hallam or even the Coffeehouse books that claim to do really well by just buying index funds and riding the market returns instead of taking on more risk shooting for higher returns.

When people challenge me on the index fund thing saying it is the only way, my response is that the authors of these books got rich (define rich right!) because they ended up saving so much of their income as opposed to gaining their wealth through market returns. Both books (more so Hallam’s) talk about being frugal and then investing. I would love to hear how you answer this question!

If you don’t have time to answer, I totally understand and will still continue to be a loyal listener…

Just buy and hold?

But the Nasdaq was underwater for 15 years?

The Nikkei is down 50% still since 1989.

Wake up and NOT turn on CNBC.

Work out.

Eat.

Read.

Listen.

Enjoy.

When all is done, review price & volume data, make adjustments when necessary. Rinse, wash repeat…

Still trying to remove Snoop Dogg from daughters tablet and replace it with NOTORIOUS C.O.V.E.L.

Hey Micheal, I have recently started as an intern at a financial planning business and they invest in and are great believers of trend following. I am looking to learn as much as possible and have started reading your books and listening to your podcasts and I am really enjoying them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and I hope to keep learning and developing in the future. I was wondering if you could help me get the first 60 episodes of your podcast because they don’t show up on iTunes. Anyway keep up the great work. Hope you hold a conference in Australia in the future.

All episodes.

Trend Following Feedback from Brazil

Posted on June 19, 2015January 11, 2022 by Michael Covel

Hi Michael,

I just read your book The Complete TurtleTrader and already bought the others. Starting Trend Following now. Do you have any idea when are you coming to presentations here in Brazil? I’ve been three times in USA (Miami, Orlando and California recently) for vacations and would like to attend one presentation of yours the next time. Is there a schedule somewhere?

I thank you so much for changing my way of thinking about the markets. I listened each of your episodes at least twice, some of them three or four times and I’m learning a lot with you and your guests. I even started to read a lot more because your guests are always indicating books. I read books from Schwager, Tharp, Altucher, Radge, Basso and the list goes on…

Thank you for everything and keep your awesome work going on.

All the best for you!
