We all know the cold calling sucks, but as Armand Farrokh and Nick Cegelski explain in their book, it actually works... If you do it right. Cold Calling Sucks (And That's Why It Works) outlines the different ways to make cold calling work for you. What to say and what not to say to get past the first 30 seconds of a cold call, and even book the meeting.

Don’t worry about doing it well, just do it! We spend so much time in our lives in our comfort zone, a safe space that is familiar and routine. But by avoiding the things in life that make us feel uncomfortable, we miss out on the life we are supposed to live. 

This mother daughter duo have always worked well together. They are a proud local business creating bath bombs that burst with vibrant color, beautiful fragrance and playful design, turning ordinary self care into an immersive, relaxing experience. They sell their bath bombs at The Kelowna Farmers & Crafters Market from April to end of October every Saturday, as well as over 100 locally owned store across Canada and USA.

It’s Time to No Longer Accept a Life You are Unhappy With. Do you feel as though you are stuck in a life that is not what you hoped it would be? The only person who has put you into this position in life is you. The reality is most of us hold ourselves back without even realizing we are doing so.

What is the Business Security Enhancement Rebate Program? It's a financial support program the City of Kelowna is offering to local businesses to help enhance the security of their properties. The program aims to support crime-prevention improvements and revitalize our streets.

Once you have learned the proper skills for the cold calls, the most important thing you can do is practice. Practice like it is your full time job, because well, it kind of is. You want to be practicing in the car, the mirror, while walking down the street, even if it makes you look a little crazy. And I am not saying to memorize your script word for word, I am saying become so comfortable with it, you can go with the flow of a call without losing your groove.
