The Best Cold Calling Script That Actually Works

[@TrentDressel]

Whether you believe you can or you can’t, you’re right

[@seans9203]

Clichés at twenty paces... If you aim at nothing, you'll hit nothing right in the center :O) cheers and thanks again Trent

[@seannoll4463]

Love the aspect of "cold calling as an art." Thanks for the videos man, super helpful as an enterprise BDR trying to hit quota!

[@TrentDressel]

glad you enjoyed

Glad you found it useful

Just love your videos I'm starting this journey from switching customer service to b2b much love from India

[@HGarach]

Great video Trent!! I appreciate you going into your reasoning behind WHY you start your call with "How are you?" at the beginning. It actually makes sense to me now why you do it consistently. And you obviously are having success with it so there is no valid reason for you to listen to the sales gurus who advise you NOT to use it. Thank you!!

[@TrentDressel]

Thanks for the positive support

[@scottmoseley5122]

how about "How are you?" reworded... "How have you been?"

Thank you for your efforts Trent! Great content.

Hey Trent. your content’s super helpful in keeping my mindset where I want it to be in addition to the tips. I realize that most of if not all of your content is video independent. It would be awesome if you put it into a podcast just as it is. That could also be another revenue stream .

[@TrentDressel]

that's a great idea

[@scottmoseley5122]

Stay Awesome Trent. great stuff. I am an old school b2b outside sales guy just now learning cold calling. I wish I had mastered the phone early in my career. I admire your work ethic and presentation. Cheers!

[@TrentDressel]

Thanks Scott, you’ll get it with time

How about when you cold call with no mane or email you’re calling to try and get pass the gate keeper?

[@elkeru3350]

Trent. I absolutely love your content. You are the cold call KING (King in all Caps). I have a question. You mentioned sending them an email prior. I don't have an email marketing system. I am a consultant for a company that specializes in reducing overhead for businesses, and we get paid high commissions. I have business phone numbers and emails. I was just planning on cold calling these businesses and asking for the owner. Can you please offer some advice on how I should do this? Thank you.

[@tomasdinnel6949]

Hey Trent , I have an opportunity at NetSuite this coming august when I graduate , what are your thoughts on this opportunity ? Is it too good to pass up and move to Texas ?

[@TrentDressel]

Certainly good opportunity, I think they have office in Austin

[@warrioryt7037]

Will this work for calling small businesses asking them if they want a website?

[@TrentDressel]

Yes

[@andrewroberts5055]

@@bkkev8147 would recommend startup saas orgs - reason being that they tend to not worry as much about prior experience - as long as you demonstrate the qualities they are looking for...coachabilility, drive, interest in learning etc

[@pakerandmak]

you're actually not legally allowed to market to peoples emails unless they agree to receive emails about your marketing or products

[@TrentDressel]

good cal out

i think this is only applicable if they are on a DNC list, could also vary state by state.

I never see many if any people in your office when you work there. Do only a few people come into the office when you do?

[@TrentDressel]

I make the vids after everyone else has left

[@jacobtuwiner]

"What you're saying is more important than how you're saying it" --> I think you switched the order

[@TrentDressel]

you right

[@Victoria71936]

Ill try this and get back to this video if it worked. So far its been dry

[@TrentDressel]

keep pushing

[@ashtontharvey]

How are you, has been statistically proven to not work. It's been used for too long. I usually go right into the call with "Hey (prospect), this is Ashton Harvey calling from SN. I know I'm calling you out of the blue and you weren't expecting my call (in thier mind they said "yes" twice) the reason I'm calling is .... do you have 5 min to discuss?... this is what all our top SDR's do/say.

[@TrentDressel]

whatever it takes to achieve the desired outcome

[@JimNunleyJimNunley]

Thats wordy...The longer I talk in the opening the more my chances go down. How are you or how have you been both work.
