Here are the 6 that stood out for me:

1. The best time to cold call is between 4:00pm and 5:00pm (second is between 8:00am and 10:00am)
2. Thursday is the best day to prospect
3. Today it takes 8 cold call attempts to reach a prospect (in 2007, it was just over 3.5)
4. Average salesperson only makes 2 attempts to reach a prospect
5. Average salesperson makes 8 dials per hour, prospects for 6.25 hours to set 1 appointment
6. Email marketing has x2 higher ROI than cold calling
