ADVICE

Use Permission-Based Pattern-Interrupts

  • Use a permission-based opener that pauses a 'no' with humor like "Is that because you hate cold calls or just hate me?".
  • This reframes rejection and often gets prospects to soften and continue the call.
INSIGHT

Stand Out With Uncommon Openers

  • Prospects are bored and have heard generic intros repeatedly.
  • Sound unlike everyone else to win the next 10–30 seconds of attention.
ADVICE

Start Pitches With Their Language

  • Lead with two hyper-specific problems phrased in the prospect's own words before explaining your solution.
  • This tactic signals market expertise and hooks attention quickly.
