The importance of practice and tonality in cold calling
Being well-practiced and relaxed during a cold call is crucial. Practicing specific sections of the call, such as the intro and elevator pitch, helps reps sound confident and knowledgeable. Tonality should be friendly and approachable, making it hard for the prospect to be rude. Deep breaths and relaxation techniques can help reps before a call to stay calm and focused.
