Leave If the Prospect Says It's a Bad Time But Asks You to Pitch
In this episode of the Cold Calling Podcast, Collin takes a page from the Kevin Hopp playbook. He says that if a prospect says that you've reached them at a bad time but then asks you to pitch anyway, then just end the call. They're in the zone of resistance and it likely won't matter what you say to make it result in a positive outcome. Collin also suggests to always end the call on a positive note even if the call went unfavorably.

Call Out That Your Cold Call Is an Interruption with Kevin Hopp
In this episode of the Cold Calling Podcast, Kevin Hopp comes on the show to discuss adding a disposition to the dialer called "Not a Phone Lead." If you've tried reaching out to a prospect several times and the answer is always not interested, then the insight is that the phone may not be the best way to reach them. Kevin also suggests calling out your interruption in your opener as a way to acknowledge that you are indeed taking time from your prospect's day to have a conversation with you.To learn more about Monster Connect and to claim your free dial session visit: https://monsterconnect.com/salescast
