In this brief YouTube excerpt, Hishem Azzouz and a co‑speaker discuss the surprisingly high acceptance rate they experience when asking prospects for a short, 10‑minute conversation. The co‑speaker claims a 9‑out of‑10 success rate, which prompts Hishem to request a live demonstration of the call in action. The dialogue then shifts to the psychological side of cold‑calling, noting that many people hesitate to pick up the phone because of preconceived misconceptions and mental barriers, even when the caller is simply trying to be friendly rather than sell a job.

What do you reckon the hit rate is of like people being like, yeah, Nicholas, happy to give you 10 minutes?
9 out of 10. Nah, really? Yeah, honestly.
Yeah, yeah. I need to see it. Yeah, I need to see that in action. But the only reason why I feel like that is because it's just so like when you're called at work and someone's trying to then— I know you're not selling them a job, you're just saying that I think I'm a good guy.
These are all preconceived misconceptions. Okay. Like these are all things people put into their heads. Oh, this might not work out. And that's why people end up not cold calling. Like, I truly believe the only thing that's ever going to limit me or any of my consultants is my own mind. There's no one there stopping, like, holding my hand back from picking up the phone and pressing the numbers. That's all just preconceived misconceptions. And if you can get rid of that, like, then you'll have much, much, much more success.
