Hereās how to stop getting rejected every time (and start closing more).
The majority of salespeople approach cold-calling the same way: āHey, this is [Your Name] with [XYZ Company], and the reason I called you wasā¦ā
If you use this approach, youāll sound like everyone else, so youāll be treated like everyone elseāwith āWeāre not interestedā followed by the prospect hanging up.
Instead, your opening line should trigger curiosity:
āHey is this John? Yeah, itās just Kiel Couturier with ABC Company. I was wondering if you could possibly help me out for a momentā¦ā
(Slow the pace.) But still be Enthusiastic as hell, sharp as a tack, and a figure of authority.
Then follow with this:
āIām not sure if youāre the person I should be talking to, but I called to see who would be responsible in your company for looking at any possible hidden gaps that could be causing you to [negative consequence].ā
This is just a quick example to show you that cold-calling worksāif you do it the right way.
