Episode notes
Flip No Into Permission
- When a prospect says "no," ask a playful agree-first question like, "Is that because you hate cold calls or just hate me?"
- Follow with clarifying nudges and a permission ask: "I promise I'll make this the least boring one you've got. Do you want to hear me out?"
Use A Minimal Risk Promise
- Use a single-line value promise that reduces perceived risk, e.g., "If it's not relevant, you'll never hear my weird accent again."
- Add a light localized tweak (accent or region joke) to increase relatability before asking to continue.
Match Tone To Region And Role
- Tune tone to the region and role: be more direct in Germany and more playful in much of the US.
- For non-native English speakers or conservative sectors like banking, drop sarcasm and use a direct version of the pattern break.
