Everyone says to cold call for leads but I tried it for a month and got nowhere
I spent 4 weeks making 50 calls a day, got 2 meetings, and zero deals. Then I put $500 into targeted Facebook ads for a local condo project. That got me 15 solid leads and 3 signed clients in two weeks. The ads just work better for finding people who are already looking. Has anyone else moved away from cold calls and seen better results with online ads?

You said you made 50 calls a day for a month? That sounds like a special kind of torture. I picture you talking to a wall of voicemails while your Facebook ad money is out there actually finding real people. It's like choosing to dig a ditch with a spoon when there's a perfectly good shovel right next to you.

What do you think I was doing while all those voicemails played? I was scrolling Facebook and spending that ad money too. The spoon digging was just my way of feeling productive while the real work happened online. Sometimes you gotta do the pointless thing to make the smart thing feel better, you know? It’s like a weird mental game. Honestly the calls were just an excuse to get away from my own ads for a few minutes.
