Episode notes
Structured Cold Calling Blueprint
- Use a step-by-step cold calling process with talk tracks for every part of the call.
- Include tone guidance via QR codes and back advice with real call data.
Cold Calling Effectiveness Revealed
- Average reps make very few meetings from cold calls despite many dials.
- Better reps more than double live connects and triple meetings from the same calls, making cold calling very worthwhile.

- Use context-based openers like the "heard the name tossed around" or the "tailored permission opener" to engage prospects.
