Try This Cold Call Opener To Improve Your Results

Posted November 22, 2023

The first few seconds of a cold call determine your fate, and;

That’s why I intentionally go “off script”!

Decision makers are used to an introduction and a “The reason for my call today . . . ” or a “How are you?” after the intro.

I introduce myself and say;

“Quick question, I noticed that ___________”

The “Quick question” part of the phrase takes them “off script” and renders their knee-jerk objection impossible to use.

The “I noticed that” part of the phrase demonstrates that I have something of interest to discuss because I fill in the blank with something I noticed about their company, industry, competitor(s), challenges, opportunities, etc.

After I reference something relevant, I end the statement with a question. 

Questions help you take/keep control of the call and make it harder for the prospect to give you a knee-jerk objection.

Give it a try and better yet;

Give it a try and record your end of the conversation so you can listen to the “game tape” later!
