I work is an account manager for a tech sales company right out of college, stepped away to work in higher education, and now I'm getting back into tech sales. I'm trying to knock off the ring rust, and your channel is an extremely valuable resource to not only refresh my memory of best strategiesand industry terms, but I'm also learning a ton of new information. Recently subscribed, and I'll be sure to refer this channel to others beginning in the field. Love what you're doing dude!

[@sumanghosh6851]

Hey Patrick, I follow your videos a lot in Sales. Great information on cold calls. Can you kindly make a video on how to get through the gatekeepers, specially the reception.

[@Craftymama1234]

I really like your videos! You get right to the point and have great information. Thank you!

[@patrickdang]

Glad you like the videos!

[@WintsonTham]

Great video Patrick! Gonna draft a cold call script by extracting the essence from what you have shared! And you have a very charismatic voice 😊

[@patrickdang]

Good luck and thanks!

[@thewarthens]

Man, your service is incredible.

[@blessingayodele5870]

Really amazing, Patrick

[@patrickdang]

Thanks!

[@ricomason1]

Very good but remember... before you can speak with the prospect you have to get past the gatekeeper! Get creative on the Gatekeeper... Unless you have a direct line to the prospect themselves. The Gatekeeper is the key to opening a positive conversation with the prospect. They could be your advocate for the prospect! We keep forgetting that your great advice never gets to be used if you can't handle the gatekeeper! Like Spock said... Remember!

[@anushajames300]

Really great video Patrick, I learnt a lot from it. Since I recently got into sales and marketing, I want to work on my confidence. Can you share some insight on it

[@patrickdang]

Sure I can make a video about confidence in the future!

[@anushajames300]

@@patrickdang omg! totally looking forward to it!

[@pomojemuteraz]

Hey Patrick, You definitely deserve more subs , this channel is way to underrated

[@R.E.S.T.and.R.E.S.E.T.]

You're amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this step by step technique.

[@patrickdang]

Glad you’re enjoying the videos :)

[@kimchiyamz6150]

Why are you lost though

[@ravipravips]

This video is Bible of cold calling! Salute 🙏👏

[@sukhvinderdhani]

Love the life lessons and psychology that is being taught while learning how to cold call ❤️

[@gladysdepaz4153]

I do cold calling for Real Estate. Please create a sample script for this please😢. You're really so smart😊

[@Arvinross]

Fantastic video Patrick! Love the step by step process in the video. Thanks

[@patrickdang]

Appreciate that! Glad to hear you loved the video

[@bohemians5386]

Hi Patrick! Your videos are really amazing and helpful. English is not my first language so I don't understand why you say I am a little bit lost in the script. What does it mean when you on the phone?

[@tracivie]

Hi Patrick, your videos are great, would like to see one on lead generation 😀

[@patrickdang]

I've done plenty of videos on this topic, feel free to check out my channel.

[@Frederick0220]

As the SDR, how would you schedule a time for a demo with the prospect on the phone when you don’t know your Account Exec’s availability?

[@saraanwar4694]

Hey Patrick, First I can not thank you enough for your amazing videos, they are truly amazing, straight to the point and amazing Second regarding to starting the cold call with the following phrase " hey X I'm a little lost " forgive me but I guess " a little lost " doesn't sound professional or sounds more like someone who is in a desperate need for help, so is there is any alternative that you would advise me to use, truly appreciate your effort and help and wish you all the best 🌷🌷

[@gladysdepaz4153]

You're the best! Glad I found your channel. i would like to be your student.

[@Itzzz_moose]

Really good speech👌 really helped me! Appreciate it!

[@patrickdang]

Thanks for watching!

[@missrosannah964]

Patrick a HUGH THANK YOU. You are a life saver 😊

[@dakshashrivastava7579]

Hi Patrick, this video is really awesome thank you so much for sharing. I request you to make one more video on how to handle when the prospects says he is already using a solution?

[@ishungchan]

Love your content man, it really helps me alot!! Keep it up

[@usmanrana6977]

Great steps

[@nimitacooks]

Hey Patrick, great video! Quick question - what if after you ask them "Does that sound fair to you?" they say yes it does but can you call me back another time? How do we know they are actually interested in speaking at a later time or are just pushing us away? Thanks in advance!

[@patrickdang]

You can then ask “okay great, what day works best for you” if they give you a date and time, there is some level of interest. If they don’t give you a date and time, you can ask “okay interesting, it doesn’t seem like you’re interested in scheduling another meeting. Is this the case here because if you’re not interested, I don’t want to waste either of our time.” From there, if they give a date and time, you should be good to go. And if they say that they actually are not interested, that’s alright. Just move on to the next prospect. Hope that helps!

[@nimitacooks]

@@patrickdang thank you! That definitely helps. I like the upfront approach in just asking if they're not interested so either one of us don't waste time! I'm definitely going to try that going forward. Also, can you do a video in the future (unless you already have one on this) on using a CRM (eg. Salesforce) as effectively as possible in sales?

[@thathunter1760]

Such a great idea

[@patrickdang]

Appreciate that

[@lewiscardwell6878]

Hey Patrick, Great video. Just had to prepare a sales prospecting video for an interview. I got to the final stage. Would love to see your take on it in a youtube video. Any plans for a video on the topic?

[@patrickdang]

That’s an interesting interview process. I’ll see what I can do in the future video. Thanks for the suggestion

[@mahhingaminggate5028]

Petrick when you say i am a little lost doesn't it give the impression that you're just not confident and uncertain guy ?

[@rickjohnston5069]

Can you do a video of some live cold calls with this script? That would be awesome :)

[@patrickdang]

Great idea. I'll see what I can do in future videos.

[@travissean]

definitely would be interested in seeing some demos of live calls

[@fayazahamed6802]

Yes some live cold calling videos

[@tania9433]

Thanksss your valuable sharing

[@rodrigo.moreira]

Why are you lost? I didn't get it!

[@miguelangelpinto6761]

This is great. How can get to the gate keeper to talk to the decision maker?

[@JamesRoss-b7o]

I need a guide to finding businesses to contact and how to contact businesses for sales opportunities how do i do that any videos for that?

[@Brahmdagh]

Yeah, I'm not very confident about that "I'm lost" intro

[@searchbug]

Hi, Patrick! What's your take on those who are doing cold call and their first line is asking if the person's name is this or that? 😅

[@nikitashcherbina8878]

Gold.

[@lh3643]

What do you say to get thru to the decision makers? How do you get pass the secretaries?

[@arv2125]

Patrik please make some videos about linkedin linkedin marketing

[@dennydavidful]

Hi Patrick its realy giod, can you share sample cold calling with nine step sales cycle

[@ameyborhade8597]

What are applications used for researching prospect info

[@alfredmhone]

What is the title to the background music

[@aqazahb8915]

I work in laboratory equipment sales. And I make cold calls to industry/ factory... Do you have any idea, how to start the conversation? To introduce what im selling about.

[@samuelramos6689]

Do i need college to work in tech? I am 21 and work in sales at a car dealership and want to transition into tech sales

[@patrickdang]

It’s not mandatory but large established tech companies like Google and high profile startups typically prefer a undergraduate degree. It’s still possible to break into tech sales without a sales degree but you’ll have to demonstrate you’re ability to sell tech products which is typically more complex relative to car sales.

[@samuelramos6689]

Thanks a lot

[@jaysocial3663]

I like talking but its bit too wordy Patrick, if your making many sales calls per day it will sap your enthusiasm saying same long opener over and over, your vibe will be off after the 5th call, any shorter version that does the same job?

[@jacoblim8634]

How do you know if someone is running Google Ads?

[@markocarapic47]

what's the name of the track in the background?

[@thareallildeecy]

You related to Johnny?

[@RhoseDayInMyLife]

What if the client you called is not the decision maker. I hope you can create a video whereas they are not the client itself and pursuing them to give you the direct contact or transfer you directly to the owner

[@cheazinwingwa2584]

Hello i this video is a value bomb. I was wondering if there is any way which I can use to get the business Owners social media accounts of eCommerce Businesses. I think it will be better and more effective if we can reach out directly to the Business owners but unfortunately I don't know how to do so. Please if you can help me this I will very happy

[@patrickdang]

Thanks for the question. In your situation, I would make a list of all the eCommerce businesses you'd targeting. Then I would go on LinkedIn to find the owners of these brands and use a tool like Apollo or Hunter to find their direct email. If you're targeting larger brands, you'll most likely find the key decision makers on LinkedIn. But if you're targeting small local brands, finding the decision makers may be more difficult if those owners are not on LinkedIn.

[@cheazinwingwa2584]

@@patrickdang thanks for your response....it will go a long way to help me out. Am grateful. You have one of the best channel on KZbin becuase you share value and you still make sure you answer all the qu in the comment section though you are a busy entrepreneur.. That's alsum

[@bestmixesonline7744]

if someone calls me and start with I am little lost, I would tell him to use google maps. LOL.

[@patrickdang]

It works for me but it might not for your industry. Try it out and see what works. Best of luck!

[@ionsravan]

Cool

[@patrickdang]

Thanks!

[@basilnaidoo2917]

Don't think it's appropriate to address the prospect as Hey!

[@nostarswithoutdarkness]

If you say the words, do you mind or can I have a second on a cold call you are going to have limited success. Call control is everything.

[@jeffmays1949]

One way to get more credibility with affluent, educated clients is knowing how to spell "Openers" instead of "Openners." Just sayin'.

[@dkiss01]

A call goes downhill at "I'M A LITTLE LOST" 😂😂😂🫣

[@rodrigo.moreira]

Why are you lost? I didn't get it!

[@Triumph2024.]

He's not really 'lost.' He's just saying that and then asking for 'permission' to tell the prospect why he's calling to make the prospect drop his guard and go into listening/helping mode.

[@arv2125]

Cool
