ADVICE

Avoid Generic Openers

  • Don't sound like a generic telemarketer; avoid common openers like "Did I catch you at a bad time?"
  • Use a tailored permission opener, leading with context and acknowledging it's a cold call.
ADVICE

Focus on the Problem

  • Instead of leading with your service, focus on the prospect's problem.
  • If you're a recruiter, highlight the difficulty of staffing experienced talent and tailor it to their specific needs.
ADVICE

Highlight Your Differentiator

  • Identify your unique differentiator and use a trap question to highlight the gap in their current solution.
  • Sell the "test drive"–offer a glimpse of your service's value without pushing for immediate commitment.
