You can blame the other person, but usually:

It just means your opener sucks.
(or you have PE syndrome)

I like my openers like my personal trainers.

The crazier the better.

Nathan Mills and I put 6 together for you 👇

I promise you, the wildest you've heard.

𝟮𝟬 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

It doesn't matter if you:
• Have a great opener
• The best tone in the world
• A super-relevant pitch for them

You will catch some prospects at a bad time.

You will call people who hate being called.

Some prospects will just hate your voice.

The hard part is not making the call.
It's knowing you may do everything right and still lose.
Just like assembling IKEA furniture with the instructions.

This is why cold calling is a game of resilience.
(and IKEA is a form of masochism)

"𝗜'𝗺 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝘆" 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀' 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁.

It doesn't need to be the end of the call.

The right move is to playfully push forward:
"𝘐'𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘺; 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘧 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬."

The trick is making the next 10 seconds worth it.

𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺'𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦: 
"𝘋𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘪𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳?"

There's always another line, another angle.

Your job is to give them a reason to stay.

Follow Giulio Segantini or I'll cold call you.

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝘀 💩

This is what it sounds like 69%+ of the time:

"𝘞𝘦'𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘴"

The problem? 
Everyone says the same BS.
You'll sound more boring than white rice.

Instead, you should always lead with their problems:

"𝘞𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 {𝘫𝘰𝘣 𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘭𝘦}, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘣𝘶𝘵:
1. 𝘚𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦 {𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮 1}
2. 𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘺 {𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮 2}
𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘴 𝘵𝘰 {𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦}.

𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘺 𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴, 𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘵?"

Now you speak their language. 
You're not a salesperson - you're someone who *gets it*.  

Still pitching like Jordan Belfort? 
That's why you hear the beep sounds...

Which is why when you call them:

They'll ask you for an email.

And most salespeople will send that email.

As if they don't receive enough emails.

Cold calling is not about politeness.

You'll have to push a little.

"Shy salespeople have skinny kids."

Agree to send that email and then say:

"𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘵-𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘰 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘭, 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘭 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘴, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘳?"

Most of the time, they won't even read the email.
