The Lie Sales Reps Are Using In Cold Emails

Posted May 3, 2024

There’s a new strain of lies that sales reps have been using in their cold emails and I’m asking you not to partake!

The tactic is to begin with a compliment and the phrase that’s typically used is this;

“I see you’re doing great things at (company name)”

Really, like what? 

The best part is that they go from the “compliment” to an immediate pitch.

Nice way to show a decision-maker that you’re shallow and insincere!

How about this one;

“Hey Paul, we’re big fans of The Sales Playbook Podcast”

Then they pitch me on having someone they represent on my show, but;

If they had listened to my podcast, they’d know I never have guests.

Here’s a crazy thought . . .

If you research a company before sending a cold email, and you can’t find anything to use, don’t lie, use the approach I will share during our cold email webinar (May 17th).

If you don’t know what to say, don’t lie, use one of the approaches or one of the 10 email templates we’re going to discuss!
