1. To warm up a cold call do a little research. View the persons website, checkout their LinkedIn profile etc. Then when you contact them you can open by saying, "I was on your website or saw your profile and noticed (blank) so I thought you'd be interested in (what you do).
2. Give a brief benefit statement like - we help businesses triple their sales in 30 days. This is your HOOK to grab attention.
3. Build a bridge to open the conversation. "But before I go any further can I ask you..." Make sure you ask open ended questions starting with:
Why
What
Where
How
Who
4. If the prospect engages in the conversation make sure you paraphrase what they have said back to them to highlight the pain point they have identified.
5. Pay attention to any objections you receive. After a call if you received an objection you couldn't answer, Stop. Devise an answer so it does not stump the conversation in the future.
