Sus estrategias de crecimiento no funcionan

Everyone’s chasing the next “growth hack.”

In Your Growth Hacks Aren’t Working, Close CEO Steli Efti shows you how to master one of the most underrated (and most effective) customer acquisition channels out there — cold calling.

Even if you have zero sales experience, this book gives you everything you need to pick up the phone with confidence, qualify prospects, handle objections, and close more deals — no “hack” required.

Why Growth Hacks Fail (and Real Sales Wins)

Growth hacks promise shortcuts. But business growth isn’t about shortcuts — it’s about consistent conversations with the right people.

At some point, every startup realizes that clever automations and viral tactics can only take you so far. The companies that truly scale are the ones that learn to:

• Prospect with intention, not spam.
• Build trust through voice, not volume.
• Ask questions that uncover real pain, not just push a product.

That’s why cold calling still works — when you do it right.

This book teaches you how.

Why Cold Calling Still Works in 2026

While most reps rely on email automation, cold calling gives you what automation can’t: real connection.

When you pick up the phone, you:

• Get immediate feedback.
• Hear tone and emotion.
• Create trust faster.
• Shorten your sales cycle.

In a world flooded with digital noise, a real conversation is your competitive advantage.

A Quote Worth Remembering

“Want more customers? Pick up the phone.”
— Steli Efti

That’s the entire premise of this book. Stop over-engineering your funnel and start mastering the fundamentals that actually drive revenue.

Real Reps, Real Results

“I’ve been applying your follow-up teachings. It changed my mindset and allowed me to keep pursuing leads who eventually closed.”

The same mindset applies here: follow up, be persistent, and use cold calls as your tool for connection — not interruption.
