Use Customer Examples When Cold Calling
Why this is helpful:
1. Establish credibility (social proof)
2. Can help explain what you sell
3. Build interest
Simply sharing an example of a customer
1. You only have a small amount of time
2. When to squeeze it in
โ€ข We worked with a sales trainer at a software company and they were having
difficulty getting their reps to learn the pitch.
โ€ข We helped to solve that by implementing our SMART Sales System.
โ€ข This not only made it easier to teach reps what to say, but ultimately it helped
to make the training department look a lot better.

Great. The reason for my call is that:
โ€ข We worked with a sales trainer at a software company and they were having difficulty
getting their reps to learn the pitch.
โ€ข We helped to solve that by implementing our SMART Sales System.
โ€ข This not only made it easier to teach reps what to say, but ultimately it helped to make

Key: Customer | Pain Point | Product sold | Value Point
Based on what you have shared, it might make sense to talk more because as I
mentioned, I am with [Company] and we provide a web-based app called
SalesScripter:
โ€ข Sales message builder
โ€ข Sales playbook
โ€ข CRM and email automation
Some ways we differ are:
โ€ข We are the only platform that helps salespeople know what to say and ask
โ€ข We are the only software platform that generates call scripts and email
templates
Some impacts from not doing anything in this area are:
โ€ข It can be difficult to teach sales reps what to say and ask when talking with
prospects
โ€ข It can often take a long time to get reps ramped up and producing sales
results
โ€ข It can be costly to have to let reps go due to sales performance

But I have called you out of the blue and I am not sure if this is the best time to
discuss this.
Are you interested in discussing this a little more?
Are you available for a brief 15 to 20-minute call where I can share some
examples of how we have helped other small businesses to:
โ€ข Increase the revenue generated through their website
โ€ข improve website conversion rates
โ€ข Increase website traffic
Are you available on Tuesday or Thursday morning? Or are you available to
continue talking about this now?
