How to Make Cold Calling Easy
The document provides guidance on cold calling techniques. It discusses opening the call, stating the purpose, asking qualifying questions, sharing product/company information, and closing. Some key points include introducing yourself casually, focusing questions on the prospect's needs to build interest, and asking for a brief meeting to provide examples of how the company has helped others. The overall goal is to qualify prospects, build interest in further discussion, and close by scheduling a follow-up conversation or appointment.
