Depends on who is on the other line. If it is a sweet old lady then I start of with a normal conversation that their grandkids would say with a "Hey how are you doing today, did I catch you at a bad time." 

If I am talking to the CEO who has 5 seconds to spare I just right in saying, "Hey John, don't want to take up too much of your time but the reason for my call..." 

However the above is so "Salesy" that I have been trying out is "Hey is this John?" When they say yes I then say "Hey John can you hear me?" What this has been doing is throwing them off guard unlike the normal cold calls they hear everyday. Still testing this one out so don't hold me to it lol

I do something similar to you sometimes, and pull the old "whoops, I was on mute there" and if they laugh its over. If they are dry, then you can get straight to the point.
