Episode #117 Cold Calling Role Play Live. With Eli Jones. What Could Go Wrong? 😬📞

Let’s be honest—cold calling terrifies most real estate photographers. Including us.

So instead of talking about it, we did something way more uncomfortable (and way more useful): we brought on Eli Jones and put ourselves on the spot with a live cold-calling role play.

If you’ve been in real estate media for more than five minutes, you already know Eli—educator, business builder, and the mind behind one of the most well-known REP programs in the industry. But what surprised us was how much his ecosystem has grown, now including video editing services, cold calling services, and even help with hiring staff.

In this episode, Eli breaks down why cold calling still works, the specific method he uses to make it effective (and less painful), and then coaches us in real time as we try not to completely fall on our faces.

Will we crush it? Will we panic? Will Eli save us mid-call? We were terrified to find out, but here goes!
