Слайд 16 tips to help you warm up a cold call
Слайд 21. Research
Before picking up the phone, find out a little
about the person you’re calling; their name, title and an idea of what they work on so you have some context for the conversation.
Слайд 32. Timing
Be considerate about the timing of your call. Think about
what the person might be doing at any particular time of the day and schedule your call around it.
Слайд 43. Ask
Before you launch into conversation, ask the person if
they have a few moments to chat with you.
Слайд 54. Call with a purpose
Be prepared with conversations points to discuss
with them. Don’t waste time with chit chat and vague questions; this will make you appear insincere.
Слайд 65. Introduce ahead of time
If you have the opportunity, give
the person you’re going to call some warning ahead of time. You can introduce yourself ahead of time either through a mutual contact, email or via social media.
Слайд 76. Be grateful
Don’t forget to thank the person you’ve called
for their time and the opportunity to speak with them. You can go the extra mile and send a thank you note; either hand written or by email to really show that you appreciated their time.
