3 Best Cold Call Opening Lines & Techniques 2024

[@QasimAliWriter]

I'm trying out your "If I told you this was a sales call..." opener and it's getting some good chuckles from prospects 😂

[@kg100Calisthenics]

how to you continue after the opener using that line?

[@WaaGriever]

I can attest these all work brilliantly. The close I’ve been using recently is: “look I don’t want to waste your time by sending you a boring email. If I could show you how we’ve helped your biggest competitor do xyz would it be a complete waste of your time to see how we do it?” Would love to hear your top 3 closes Benjamin. Great content as always. ❤

Loving all the new content good stuff

[@yesand5536]

This is one of your best! You've really got it down pat now!

[@yesand5536]

Yes, I'm sharing this around

[@razorwireclouds5708]

I occasionally do drop my name into the opener, but it's super quick right after I say "hello, [PROSPECT'S NAME]..." Then I go in with the 1st example you give here. I've noticed later in our conversation they do call me by my name. It's like you say, delivery is everything, so even introducing yourself can work if your delivery is on point.

Ben keep these up mate, and the ad with the prime minister calling is GOLD

[@Geoeoeon]

Fantastic video cracking up most of the way through haha

[@benjamindennehy]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Alex-cy8dp]

I’m in a software sales gig and I cold call everyday with your scripts… Works 98% because some prospects WILL actually hang up 😂 … move on to the next…

[@benjamindennehy]

Based on your post, I can see why 😆

[@AlphaChinou]

@@benjamindennehywhat do you mean by that?

[@roshanjain6599]

Yes, what does it mean?

[@kno3911]

​@@benjamindennehyI'm guessing is cause he stated his profession first . Shows that's he is focusing more on himself rather than the client,right?

[@joshuadharman]

This video was so well done I could NOT not give it a like. Wow. Lol 👏🏾👏🏾

[@benjamindennehy]

Cheers 🍻

[@AhmedMohamed-b2c1e]

amazing man, this is my opener line and don't know if it's good or not "This’s X, Listen I wanna be honest & straightforward here . I'm a business owner and not trying to sell but i have some outcomes and wanna see if it'll fit you. Would you like to hang up or gimme 28 secs for it ?”

[@RecRoyalty]

Thank you sir 🙏🏾🙏🏾 love from South Africa

[@benjamindennehy]

You're welcome

[@BenBacina]

Really amazing and helpful stuff! Game changer. Thank you Benjamin. Shout out from US. Do you mind if I ask you a quick question lol Is there any chance there will be a video of a freight broker cold calling shippers, little bit more focused of questions? Cheers bro 🤜🤛

[@benjamindennehy]

Highly unlikely.

[@smallhabitsbigchanges4379]

I love it ben, keep up the good work. I'm trying the "if I told you it's a sales call" how would you open up to an existing customer, who you have done work for. Would you use a different opener?

[@jasonbernier8996]

Hey Benjamin, for a sales role that needs to identify themselves, how would you adapt script 2?

[@benjamindennehy]

Remind me what no 2 is?

[@Gong14921]

I’m trying to figure out how to adapt these to my commercial cleaning sales job. Do you have any videos specific to that industry? You’re the best, thank you!

[@kanedaandiolini6542]

Great stuff! Does someone in Germany has experience with those lines and techniques?

[@benwhiteside3565]

Who edits your videos? I need to hire a freelance video editor, they look great!

[@kg100Calisthenics]

yo, could you make a short or a video where you give us tips on how to continue using the "if I told you this was a sales call" opener?

[@benjamindennehy]

How to continue? Just continue.

Help me. I've been doing this for 20 years. Worked for all the top warranty companies in the states. But lately I can't close a window in a hurricane. Idk what I'm doing wrong I've never had this problem before.

[@benjamindennehy]

Will these work for a recruitment sales calls?

[@benjamindennehy]

[@dimitrispavlakis2590]

Benji, it would be greatly appreciated if you could dial up, we'd love to see you again in a live demo! Or at least a roleplaying scenario! 😊

[@benjamindennehy]

Coming soon!

[@QasimAliWriter]

Many coaches in the UK I cold-called said they'd hang up with a chuckle 😂

[@benjamindennehy]

Unsurprisingly

[@samphelps856]

You're still a genius

[@theeemightybuck1]

I think saying the company name of “Jizm” is causing pushback

[@voltract]

4th one works every time haha

[@despiertateymotivate]

butt! hahaha...love it!

[@yesand5536]

Quick question: you said senior leaders are the least called. I thought they were the most called - hence gatekeepers using their electric fences to keep away all the solar panel/OEM/SaaS 'sales'humans.

[@benjamindennehy]

Decision makers make decisions and act. That's why they don't want you to talk to them. Management just manage.

[@rusty2222]

Ben, I just dropped would you die inside a little? to a director. The guy laughed & we were off & running.

[@benjamindennehy]

Told ya!

[@lizaholodovsky9326]

What if it's not the 1st or even the 7th time that they've heared these lines on a cold call? (Especially if you say you popularized them)

[@benjamindennehy]

What do you think will happen?

[@lizaholodovsky9326]

@@benjamindennehy I think that the effect that we're aiming for (surprise, personalization, and humor) will be lost

[@benjamindennehy]

@lizaholodovsky9326 whenever a sentence starts with I think, it means "I don't know". So if you don’t know, then there's no excuse not to do it. It's creating an excuse not to do something you don't want to do.

My only problem is that I can't thumbs up more than once...

[@Grimhobby]

This guy is bonkers.

[@benjamindennehy]

But correct!

[@krispoe93]

Definitely interesting and different, but not every culture is the same. If you try these with I don’t know, Chinese people, you’d be considered very unprofessional. Very hard to generalize these things.

[@benjamindennehy]

Good observation. Hence why all my content is in English.

[@zaclegend132]

How are you doing today? is by far the worst question ever.

[@benjamindennehy]

Yup

[@tonyonboardyt]

Why you look like retired austin powers?

[@benjamindennehy]

Why you type like moron?

[@josephg_1969]
