What have you been up to lately?
I’ve been working as an SDR in two different roles—one with a language company and another with an assistive technology company, both in the ed-tech realm.
How did you come across Glencoco, and what made you decide to give it a shot?
I came from a real estate background of 12 years and had recently started a family, which made the demanding nature of real estate challenging. I was looking for other options to use my sales background and transition into the tech industry. I found a platform that suggested Glencoco as a great way to gain SDR experience while making money. Initially, I was intimidated by the training involved, but needing extra money and experience motivated me to give it a try.
Can you describe your experience from signing up to making your first call on Glencoco?
The process was smooth and efficient. After signing up and completing the training, I was approved to start calling within 24 hours. My first day on the platform, I booked an appointment, which was encouraging. The training and onboarding process was straightforward and made it easy to get started.
What was your strategy for choosing which campaigns to call on?
I considered several factors: the payout per appointment, the number of leads available, and the success rate of other callers. I also chose campaigns that aligned with my interests and background, making the calls feel more natural and convincing. Additionally, listening to successful calls from other top callers helped me refine my approach and scripts.
How did your previous cold-calling experience compare to using Glencoco’s platform?
I’ve done cold calling before, both in a corporate setting and as a real estate agent. However, the Glencoco dialer made the process much easier. The dialer connects you to multiple leads quickly, reducing the downtime between calls. This efficiency was a game-changer, allowing me to focus more on pitching and less on dialing.
How did you ensure your appointments showed up, and why is that important?
Follow-up is crucial. After booking an appointment, I always made sure to follow up to confirm their attendance. Ensuring that appointments show up is vital because it’s how you get paid on Glencoco. It’s not just about setting the appointments but making sure they convert into actual meetings.
How did your experience with the Glencoco community contribute to your success?
The community was incredibly supportive. I received guidance from other successful callers and shared my own tips and experiences. This collaborative environment helped me learn and improve continuously. Building relationships with other callers created a sense of camaraderie, which was motivating and encouraging. I even made friends through the platform, and we would often discuss strategies and share advice.
How did you maximize your ROI on Glencoco?
I set clear goals for myself, aiming to book at least one appointment per day. I tracked my progress and adjusted my approach based on the results. Consistency was key. Even if I had a rough day, I knew there were plenty of leads to call, and persistence would pay off. This strategy helped me earn nearly $8,000 in a relatively short amount of time, with an average of about $242 per hour on the phone.
What was your internal process for managing your time and tracking success on Glencoco?
Once I made a few appointments and understood the rhythm, I set personal goals and KPIs. For example, I aimed to spend a solid hour making calls each day with the goal of booking at least one appointment. Tracking my appointments and the compensation per appointment helped me stay motivated and efficient. Knowing that some appointments could earn me up to $400 in just one hour of work was a huge motivator.
How did learning from other callers contribute to your success?
Observing and learning from successful pitches by other top callers was incredibly valuable. Glencoco allows you to listen to recordings of successful calls, which helped me refine my approach. It’s important to internalize that it’s not a competition against other callers but rather an opportunity to learn from the best. Emulating successful strategies and making them my own played a crucial role in my success.
What aspects of Glencoco’s technology did you find most helpful?
The AI-powered dialer was a game-changer. It minimized downtime between calls and ensured I was always connected to potential leads. The dialer’s efficiency allowed me to focus on pitching rather than dialing, significantly boosting my productivity. Additionally, the ability to see successful appointments and access high-quality leads streamlined my calling process.
How did your experience with Glencoco help in your subsequent roles?
Adding my Glencoco experience to my resume was a significant boost. It showcased my success and skills in B2B sales, which helped me secure my current SDR roles. The structured approach and skills I honed at Glencoco, such as efficient time management and effective pitching, have been invaluable in my career growth. The platform taught me to set up my day efficiently and attack calls methodically, which translated well into my current roles.
