    Best industries to cold call today

    Not historically but today...

    Easier to reach owner?

    Most favorable for underwriters?

    Thanks.

    it's six and one half dozen of the other. It doesn't matter whatsoever.

    The thinking is always "What's the best easiest and quickest way to make the easiest money fast" but it does not matter. There are probably 12 major industries that mca thrives on. If you talk to 50 owners per day, you will get x number of owners in need of funding. It's simply a numbers game and there's no easy way out.

    If you don't know what the top 10 industries are, ask your funding coordinator which industries they fund the most.

    As long as you are calling, instead of worrying and deciding what to call, you will be successful.

    Just remember, the people you call are receiving numerous calls every day from people like you so don't make it sound like a poll trying to find out who is in need of additional working capital.

    My advice is to work under a successful shop for a while and you won't have these sort of questions. This is not meant to be a negative statement as most would take it. I learned a long time ago success leaves clues and foot prints. Modeling people that have what you want is the path of least resistance not searching your way through the dark.

    Construction and Auto Repair both are easier to get owner on phone

    Here is a trick: When your calling a John that owns ABC Construction and Ashley picks up ask her what kind of contractors are you ? Oh home builders!! how nice ! are you good at it?? of really?!! good let me please speak to John (at that point she thinks your a client) and connects you to John, same with auto repair hey is Alfred in today? and immediately to ask.. and do you repair mufflers??? oh great yep pass me to Alfred, if he needs capital at that point your muffler question is as relevant to them as last weeks newspaper.... if your coming in as a sales pitch your climbing a slippery wall.
