I have never understood why anyone would ever ask a closed question on a cold call opener. "Do you have a minute etc etc?" The answer you will get is "No" The end. As soon as you give them a chance to say no, they will. Gabrielle hands down the best approach on this video.

agreed

Young people are taught to be polite. Just as scammers get more an more sophisticated😅
Do you cold call? How do you open?
Being honest and saying it's a cold call worked for me the best.
I never comment but this. Pivoted the game for me
I love Belel's approach .. quick, direct, educate decision maker of problem, boom
0:30 Excellent framework. And I like the second response.
3:40 Interesting take and still provided her thoughts on a script. Her pitch at 4:00

Leading with acknowledging the interruption and asking for permission to continue generated better results immediately for me! 50% of my last 10 callers we interested in wanting me to continue. Thank you.
Kyle's answer is the best! To each their own!
❤ THANK YOU! I began cold calling a few weeks ago. Very hard to do. These are great tips❤
how has it been goign?
Hey guys, love these intros, especially the 'old skool' acknowledgement of interruption and request to talk. Always the best way to go. And yes! Cheeky and fun all the way! And Belal... I know quite a few people called Belal / Bilal, and I know the historical important of that name too ;)
I am going to apply these techniques in my upcoming mok call..hope Soo I will find this better for me for my first cold call...in logistics company 🫣👐....I will tell you on Monday is this actually work😊
Any video with GB included is a value. Thank you. #enjoylife #sales
Present their Problems and Present your solutions. Boom
great tips and I love that there are some many experts here, you can find the one that matches your personality and style and try it out
Sooo great. Thank you for this bro!
I loved Belal's approach.
Roll the dice 🎲!
that kyle is a funny dude "Youre not me, and Im not you...i dont think" hahaah overall this video is a lot of help. Have an interview tomorrow. lets see how it goes
Guys…thank you!
And as for the young lady with countless sales awards getting someone on the call and then asking "Can we put something in your calendar for next week etc" WHAT?!?!! Youve got them on the phone now!! get on with it !!!!!! Unbeliavable.
I know, I would hang up so quick with her lines
@@apexgym6515 hers is the only one that doesn't sound like she's going to sell you snake oil
I think you should ask that question ^ ( put something on the calendar) when you get like an objection, like “ I don’t have time right now, can you just email it to me?” I would probably say, I know your time is very valuable and I think you would benefit from this ( & how) and would love to put something on the calendar for this week to discuss in person how we can help you save time and money, would that be alright with you?
I use the "Can I take just 30 seconds of your time"? approach. And I stick to 30 seconds. However, most of the time it goes longer because the prospect has questions. If not, I just move on. As Sandler says "Some do, some don't; some will, some won't. Who's next?"
this is a great video.
Bookmarked 😄
The question is if they pick up an unknown number do you even need to ask the 30 sec permission? Or you should just go right in
That’s up to you and your preferred style
@@Sales_Feed i think my comment got misinterpreted,i was asking,if you suggest shooting the shot or ask for it
@mehulsharma4884 - *I've had people say "I picked up the phone, didn't I?" Just spit it out!*
Lol the guy with the one piece hat is gold
In love with Samantha tonality 😍
EQ through the roof
@@Sales_Feed 😁
Samanthas was fire 🔥
Not bad for someone who doesn't cold call. Love that EQ "I'm CERTAIN I'm catching you in the middle of something"
This is such a good fucking video
Alot of these echo @The UK's Most Hated Sales Trainer.
Had Ben on the part 2 of this series
To the clari guy, if you don't wanna help go away
Stop calling us. Cold calling should be band!!! It’s not even a job. Your a scammer.
@@itslavenderduh- *Exactly.*
@@itslavenderduh If you don't even know how to put up with criticism, you won't even be doing a good job as a cold caller. Yes, they need to make a sale but understand that part of doing cold calling is also putting up with people's criticism. If you claim comments are stupid and you view comments as too negative, you won't even last a second in a cold calling business. You will end up finding that job boring. Many cold callers think they can keep calling back angry customers and ended up finding themselves not being able to fix the problem. Cracking under pressure is what will make you fail as a cold caller. If you know you are a cold caller, you aren't even in position to correct people's behaviors because if you do that, that customer have a right to cut you out of your life. Got to understand that many cold callers job is to impress and at the same time, many cold callers aren't even good at that kind of job. I can challenge any cold callers to bring value and all they will do is make promises they can't even keep. If any of the cold callers crack under pressure, that would already give me a chance to tell them to go away. So if you show signs of weakness way too early, you as a cold caller would already get rejected. Chances are, many cold callers would pick the route of taking a challenge they suck at and then they will never learn to detach after they fail. If you can't even put up with negative comments, you are not fit to do cold calling. Why do you think it is called cold calling? It means you call them and you are not expected to be appreciated.
I even had cold callers who complained about the background noise when in reality it is them that couldn't handle it. So part of doing cold calling is also never ask for any convenience. Even if you are at a disadvantage, you can't beg anyone to make it easier because you would be the one initiating and you would be the one who originally bothered them. Once you initiate, you have to make it count. You cannot beg for time extension and you cannot hide behind your coworkers and you can't just transfer to run away from your job. Many cold callers do these things.
@@itslavenderduh If you cannot even handle critism, you can't handle cold calling. If you respond like this as a cold caller, you won't survive a day in that kind of job. Why do you think it is called cold calling? You aren't expected to be appreciated. You will hear negative comments from them. If you claim their negative comments is stupid, then it is clear sign cold calling job is not for you. If you give in to entitlement, you are making your own image worst. Got to understand that customer do not depend on cold callers. If you initiate, it is your job to impress them and normally in this job, many cold callers initiate a call only to freeze up in fear. Some don't even say anything once a customer say hello. If you spend too much time thinking, you forfeit your call. Cold callers do not get to defend their busy schedule because they already initiated a call. If you are a cold caller, you are in a position where you need clients but clients don't need you. They may say negative things about your job as a cold caller but you are also not in position to talk back. This video is only meant to give you strategies but what this video does not tell you is you have to put up with toxic behavior and you cannot argue back.
What? That's a dumb take. For starters it's "banned", not "band". In Australia email marketing is banned, SMS marketing is banned, if cold calling were to be banned, there wouldn't be any free way to do out reach left. So start ups and small businesses would be limited to doing paid ads, which are often only in reach for the larger companies and corporations. Do you really want to further the issue of corporation dominance?
