Cold calling / tele-calling is a tough job. Let's learn from it.

Image
Phone rings. I look at the screen. I already know. It is a marketing call. Caller ID makes it obvious. Still, I pick up. But I stay silent. After a couple of seconds, the voice comes. “Kya meri baat SHAVANKUMAR se ho rahi hai?” Even my name is not right. It is “Saavankumar,” with a soft ‘S’. The tone is always the same. Fast. Loud. Urgent. Maybe that is what they are trained to do. To grab attention. But I don’t engage. I disconnect. And this repeats. Again and again. I am sure many of us do the same. Either we don’t pick up, or we disconnect quickly. But then a thought comes. Someone is on the other side of that call. Calling strangers. Facing rejection. Every few seconds. Q1. How do they manage this work? Q2. How do they stay motivated to keep doing it? --- Q1. How do they manage this work? Most telecalling or cold-calling operations run on structured systems: Scripts and training: Callers are given fixed opening lines, tone guidelines, and objection-handling responses. That “urgent ...

एक एक्शन पैक्ड मूवी जो 3 महीने जितनी लंबी हो उसे आप क्या कहेंगे?

15 तारीख़ को मेरे अफ्रीका से लौटे हुए 3 महीने पूरे हो जाएंगे और उसके साथ ही एक अनाउंसमेंट होने वाला है। ये 3 महीने कैसे रहे? सोचिए, अगर कोई एक्शन-पैक्ड मूवी 90 दिन तक चले तो? कुछ ऐसा ही था -  ✈️ लगातार ट्रैवलिंग 🤝 ढेर सारी मुलाकातें 😂 ढेर सारी मस्ती (बारिश में बाइक राइड्स से लेकर कुछ वीडियोज़ से सबको हल्का डराने तक) 🤔 गहरे चिंतन और 💡 जबरदस्त लर्निंग पहला महीना: "क्लीनअप मोड" सूरत की ऑफिस में बैठकर एक-एक पाप धोया। पुराने ईमेल्स, रिप्लाईज़, बैकअप, LinkedIn के सारे unread messages क्लीयर किए। नतीजा? सीमेंट इंडस्ट्री के प्रोफेशनल्स और प्लांट सप्लायर्स का एक दमदार डेटाबेस तैयार। दूसरा महीना: "डिजिटल रिवाइवल" 5 साल से सोई हुई सारी वेबसाइट्स को जगाया। Inbox में बाढ़ आ गई। अब उन सबका री-डेवलपमेंट भी पाइपलाइन में। क्लाइमैक्स: " Monk-mode " अहमदाबाद के एक अपार्टमेंट की टॉप फ्लोर पर खुद को कैद कर लिया। और वहीं से शुरू हुआ असली खेल - पहले किया revision → HTML, CSS, JavaScript, MySQL फिर ज्वाइन किया एक Online Course रोज़ 2–3 घंटे पढ़ाई + उसी की प्रैक्टिस बाकी वक्त ...

Don’t Just Follow Successful People—Build Your Own Success System

Image
We all admire successful people. We follow them on social media. We read their books. We watch their interviews and TED Talks. And why not? They’ve achieved what many of us are aiming for. But here’s something important I want to share: 👉 Just following successful people will not automatically make you successful. Let me be clear— I’m not saying it doesn’t help. Listening to them, watching them, reading about them—it does give you insights and motivation. But there’s no guarantee that doing what they did will work exactly the same for you. Why? Because the truth is— successful people create their own success systems. They are not following someone else’s steps; they are figuring out what works for them, in their context, with their personality, skills, timing, and luck. In fact, many successful people can’t even explain their system properly —because most of it is happening in their subconscious. They do things a certain way, they react a certain way, they take decisi...
