Did I Get A Cold Call From SellingTechnicians.com?

If somebody called you about what it would take to bring Scott Sylvan Bell in to train your technicians, the answer is yes. That was us.

You are on this page because you hung up and wondered whether it was real. That is a reasonable thing to wonder. Owners and sales managers get called all day by people claiming to be somebody, and most of it is noise. So here is the straight answer, in writing, on our own site.

Yes, We Do Cold Outreach

I run paid ads. I also do cold outreach by phone and by email. I am not going to pretend otherwise, because pretending otherwise is exactly what makes people suspicious.

I teach technicians how to have honest conversations with homeowners. It would be a strange thing to teach that and then be cagey about how my own team reaches out to you.

So if a member of my team called you or emailed you about HVAC sales training, that is real, and it came from here.

Every Road Leads Back To Me

This is the part that matters most.

My team does not close anything. They do not quote you, they do not sign you up, and they do not run the conversation to the end. Their entire job is to find out whether there is something worth talking about and then get you and me on a call together.

Every conversation leads back to me. If you are talking to somebody from SellingTechnicians.com, the next step is always a conversation with me.

Nobody On My Team Asks For Money Up Front

Write this one down.

If somebody calls you saying they are with SellingTechnicians.com and asks you for money up front, they are not from my team.

There is no deposit collected on a cold call. There is no card taken over the phone by somebody you have never spoken to before. There is no wire, no link to pay, and no urgency about a spot that disappears tonight.

Anybody working an angle to take money from a business owner or a sales manager on a first phone call is not working for me. That is not how I do business and it is not cool.

If that happened to you, hang up and tell me about it. [LINK: reach the team here] or call 808-364-9906.

How To Verify The Call Was Real

You do not have to take anyone’s word for it, including the word of whoever called you. Do this instead.

1. Ignore the number that called you and come here. Do not call back a number somebody gave you over the phone. Use the booking link on this site, or the phone number published on this site.
2. Book the call yourself. The booking link goes straight to my team and puts you on my calendar. If the outreach was real, we will pick up right where it left off.
3. Ask to talk to me. That is the natural next step anyway. If the person on the phone will not route you to me, that tells you everything.
4. Watch for the money question. Any request for payment before you have talked to me is the tell.

What The Call Is Actually About

Nothing on that call is a trick. Here is the whole agenda.

I come to your location and train your technicians to set quality leads on the service calls you are already paying for, to sell maintenance agreements and club memberships, to deliver bad news without losing the homeowner, and to hand an opportunity to your comfort advisor without it dying in the driveway.

The conversation is about whether your company is a fit, what your team is running into right now, and what dates, available times, and the investment look like. If it is not a fit, I will tell you that on the call and you will get your time back.
