Walking Digital Corridors podcast guest Richard Blank. Can cold calling compete in the age of AI?
Cold Calling vs. Social Selling: Navigating the AI-Powered Sales Frontier
As AI revolutionises the sales landscape, the debate is heating up. Is cold calling a relic of the past, or does it still have a place in a world dominated by social selling and automation?
Join us for a high-octane discussion on Cold Calling vs. Social Selling:
Navigating the AI-Powered Sales Frontier, featuring Alex, his sons Jordan and Jensen—both deep in the trenches of today’s sales world—and special guest Richard Blank, Cold Calling expert.
Here’s what we’re asking:
Can cold calling really hold its own in the age of AI?
Is the human touch still essential, or can automation replace it in B2B deals?
How can AI enhance the selling process without losing that personal connection?
You’ll hear Richard make a compelling case for why cold calling is far from dead, while Alex challenges its relevance in today’s tech-driven landscape.

Walking Digital Corridors podcast guest Richard Blank. Can cold calling compete in the age of AI?
Cold Calling vs. Social Selling: Navigating the AI-Powered Sales Frontier
As AI revolutionises the sales landscape, the debate is heating up. Is cold calling a relic of the past, or does it still have a place in a world dominated by social selling and automation?
Join us for a high-octane discussion on Cold Calling vs. Social Selling:
Navigating the AI-Powered Sales Frontier, featuring Alex, his sons Jordan and Jensen—both deep in the trenches of today’s sales world—and special guest Richard Blank, Cold Calling expert.
Here’s what we’re asking:
Can cold calling really hold its own in the age of AI?
Is the human touch still essential, or can automation replace it in B2B deals?
How can AI enhance the selling process without losing that personal connection?
You’ll hear Richard make a compelling case for why cold calling is far from dead, while Alex challenges its relevance in today’s tech-driven landscape.
https://youtu.be/XFryzr3u8BY
Expect a lively debate with actionable strategies for sales and customer success teams navigating this rapidly changing frontier.

Almost four years ago my son, Jordan, Jensen and I were banging our heads against a brick wall trying to make our clients successful at developing pipeline, something every business we spoke to was struggling with in one form or another, whether it's size, quality or progression. So we tested every approach known. And we're still testing!
In the last two years we have refined our approach and now share this with others who want to leverage social media to build meaningful relationships that scale over time.
The results:
- Call rates have improved by 30x
- Territory penetration has increased by 15x
- 34% of calls progress with a meaningful next step agreed
- Clients (on average) generate calls with 10.2% of their target audience
- The number of stakeholders engaged in each active account increased by 6.4x

The problem is that content marketing, social media, and A.I. are over-simplified buzz words. They are ALL short-term revenue growth hacks. Get rich quick schemes.
Branding, organic seo, online ads, email marketing, digital, traditional, funnel hacking, and automation will continue to leave you empty handed and depleted.
That won't change with your next contracted "yes man".
The Law of Abundance and the Law of the Harvest can work in your favor though.
Especially when you focus your life on serving others.
How can you better tap into the power of that truth?
Hard-work is to be embraced.
Entrepreneurs and business leaders that truly care about the people they serve see value in our approach.
If you want to make an impact that helps more people throughout this world, call me.
Sustainable revenue growth is the answer.
Why? Because hype is failing all around you.
96% of businesses fail within 10 years.
Tradition causes that.
But fads aren't the answer.
What can you do about it?
You need true growth, and it's not easy.
You need expert guidance to BUILD a real organization.
1. You must put your customers' needs first.
2. Your “minimum budget” shouldn’t be your focus. Your desired results should be because strategy isn't a passive afterthought.
3. Shifting from a "catch up" culture to a "get ahead" power house takes immense discipline, but great teams enjoy the process.
For lasting success and growth, consider the power of aligning your vision and mission so that your sales department, support team, marketing materials, and processes finally reflect what you envisioned.
I'm sad to see how many visionaries fail by trying to force it on the wrong teams.
If you're reading this still, it's because you or your team need guidance to achieve meaningful growth, so just reach out.
I truly care about forming the right relationships.
If you have 5-10 years of experience in your field, you're ready for proper support.
If you're a mission-centric person, passionately serving your market then come ready to teach us all about you and what you do because we need to believe in it, too.
We show up ready to dive in because legacies aren't built with passive effort.
If you're making a massive impact and building a better future for our world, and you value dedicated team members that aren't scared to refine your vision with you we look forward to catching up with you!
