is there a calling script/framework that is just fire for setting that first call?

Everyone has different styles, openers, next few lines, pitches etc. and once you write a script you hi-key memorize it but


mine goes along the lines of:


'hey, I'm so sorry but this is a cold call, you can hangup or I can ask you a few questions'


get's me through 90% of the time


Then I'm having a hard time coming up with the next couple things to say as im brand new in this gig, thinking of just mimicking one of my peers who has been killing it but wanted to get your advice.


he says a completely different opener and then goes into


'I wanted to follow-up w you guys im not sure if youve ever heard of XX before but weve been helping out ppl like you by combining xx, xx, xx xx, all in one-place to help you w/ some real-time look into your operations. Really just helping ppl b more proactive in their decision making in regards to their XX. so just wanted to check in w/ you guys, see what you might be utlizing as some tools over their for that.'


I know I need to study more to learn the industry, for objections, to kill, but also wanted advice on the way you SAVAGES conduct your calls, research, etc, is there a calling script that is just fire for setting that first call?

Do you use a script?

What your colleague is using is a very typical cold call script. If it works for them, try it. 

Don't be afraid to mimic your top-performing peers -- it's clearly working for them.

Right, I figure I can mimic him and then when I am comfortable develop my own style

Sounds good to me my friend. Try something, if it works keep doing it. If it doesn't work try something else.

Hey, you never what works on different people. Try different approaches and see what delivers the best results. Also, it depends a lot of geography and the seniority of a prospect.
