8 Non-Cheesy Cold Calling Tips Refined From 80,000 Calls (Proven Results)

[@JesúsSánchez-Jauregui]

- No matter how good you are, some people just don´t want to be bothered. - Don´t take rejection personal. - The reason I´m calling you. - Never allow the call to be rushed. - "I don´t expect you to change anything". - Effectiveness: average answer rate is 6%. A great set rate is 15%. 1 or 2 meetings out of 100 calls is the standard. - You are selling a meeting, not your product. - Basics. You may be 1 cold call away from changing everything.

Listening to this at 8 am in between cold call blocks. I'm new to sales, but past the point where I get anxious about cold calling. Im a step or two away from being a machine/top rep. Thanks for the tips

[@TrentDressel]

you will become a machine/top rep

Love the refined, tactical tips. You convinced me - going to tailer your cold-call script to my industry/company and start repping it out!

[@TrentDressel]

go get it

[@vjcoupe]

You said some golden things here, Trent, especially about when they're rude to us. My biggest problem right now though, is that my UK and EU leads just don't pick up the phone - and when they do, I get hung up after saying "Hey X, this is Victor, how are you doing?". It's awful sometimes, especially being an AE with 80 dials as a target per day 😅

[@TrentDressel]

glad you enjoyed and that script will work

[@TrentDressel]

TBD - locked in at the moment

[@bluffbattalion]

Trent, in the course it says don't ask "how are you?" However I keep hearing it used. Is it a big deal?

[@TrentDressel]

test all the openers

[@crankpump8444]

I’ve cold called for ten years. I don’t have it in me anymore. I have no idea what to do with my life anymore.

[@TrentDressel]

cold calling will give you meaning

[@meyershalit]

ACTION ATTACK

[@jameslakeman344]

Wrong, the purpose of a cold call is to see if you can get someone emotional about a problem you fix or something your solution can make better in their world. To the point they recognise yes that is a problem and it would probably be worth some time exploring this further. As humans we buy on emotion and justify on intellect

Trent is finally smiling now that he doesnt have to sit outside the cafeteria watching the execs laugh it up. Now he is in sunny old (some tropical country).

[@JamesofSuttonYorks]

You actually believe cold calling at 8am is a good idea? And calling people post shift? Nobody has enthusiasm then. This is utter nonsense. And this is based on what empirical evidence? If someone cold calls me, I'm a lead engineer on a large world renowned project, whatever time of the day, you get put on the "never do business with this person/business" list. There is some seriously bad advice here. You do not build relationships like this. Take my word for it

[@TrentDressel]

yes calling at 8 is a good idea if you are in sales

[@JamesofSuttonYorks]

@@TrentDressel No. No it is not. There is no evidence, and as I said before, calling at the start of the business day is a bad idea. Business is about to resume, no serious leaders want to here a sales pitch typically for irrelevant crap. I prefer it if someone emails me with a relevant pitch and then I can decide if it's worth moving forward. Cold calling does not work. Same with those moronic recruiters, unless you're selling me a $1 million a year salaried job, don't f***ING brother
