Cold Calling...For Softball Players

I am about to do some cold calling but I am procrastinating by writing a blog first. I am not cold calling for Real Estate leads, rather I need to find a few extra softball players for one of our church softball teams.

Cambridge Lutheran Church had two teams last year and this year a few more people wanted to play so I decided we would start a 3rd team. I captain Team #1, but overall I coordinate the program so to get things going I need to make sure there is enough players.

I got a list of people I don't know much or at all to call from one of the pastors and this morning I am going to start calling. I have not cold called for a while, so I needed to post a blog first to get me in the cold calling mode.

Thankfully I don't have to cold call for real estate clients because its not something at the top of the list for me. If this does not work to find enough players I will have to go door knocking!

It sounds funny but you need to do what you need to do...in this case to get a full softball team. For Realtors this is something you might need to do if you don't have enough business.

By the way anyone in the Cambridge Area (Minnesota) is welcomed on the team. Let me know!
