I got in the trenches for real this time - cold calling 25+ tree service companies with no website, door knocking on decision makers, and testing two different offers (a free website build vs. a free mini AI assessment) to see which one actually converts to a booked sales call first. You'll hear the rejections, the pivots to my script, and the exact numbers behind how many conversations it took to land two sales calls for episode three.
