The BEST way to start a cold call 📞 

Cold calling in a Kobe jersey gotta be the biggest statement move I’ve ever seen

"Before you hang up quick..." I know its a marketer and hang up

my way is straight to the point, I simply let them know we are booking appointments for 2024- who do you know that is looking to sell or buy a home? I get 95% better response- people want people to be upfront and honest, just have a genuine conversation- no special way of putting it

I just ask if they want to sell their house. But I do it with a smile, and enthusiasm, haven't had an click in ages! Most people are quite receptive.

I tell them its a cold call.. They can either hang up, or give me 17 seconds of their time.. People have been surprisingly receptive to it and give me a shot

At first I thought this was too weird but you are right! I love using this line now and it allows for a smoother conversation

The biggest issue when getting a cold call is the amount of my time you're taking up. I don't wanna listen or be obligated to talk to you. Get to the point and stop being so wordy. I hate to be asked "can I ask you this, before you hang up is it okay if..." Its asking me to do you the favor of listening to you when we both know I'm not interested. Start with what you can do for me, I gotta be immediately interested and see why IM being helped. No one likes "please listen and buy this for me" vibes.

I think you should combine this with being direct… “hey my name is … I called because I saw your house was bought in 2012 and appreciated 150%, are you looking to sell right now… if so can I get a few minutes of your time to discuss how I can get you maximum value?

Why is everyone is such a rush when they cold call? The reason language used to be in a rush happens is because people are trying to get one call closes. Stop thinking like a boiler room douche. Just realize cold calls are to start a convo and get leads, not deals. Deals come from sending information, getting demos, appointments, that's when you sell your guts out. Not on the first cold call.

Yeah I agree If you say it correctly is absolutely will work. Like you said it gives them the feeling that they are in control of the conversation while you are actually controlling and directing it.

This has been working very well for me

My dad was in sales and I have the highest respect for such a thankless job, but if someone asked me that my response would be,”Sorry, I don’t have time.”, click.

I like this version better than your longer script. 👍 thanks

CIRCLE PROSPECTING Script… Hey Jeff.. it’s Adrian with REMAX.. is this a good time you have just 30 seconds? Thank you, the reason for the call is I have a client looking to buy a house ..just like that one .. so I was curious.. do you have any plans in moving? If no.. MOVE ON If yes.. set the appointment

My favorite way to start a cold call is “did I catch you at a bad time” 90 % of people so no it’s a good time.

Better if you say - Do you have a moment so I can let you know why I called. Stop telling them and talk with them. Tonality matters too. Use a concerned, calm, curios tone. Speak slow words and let it sink in.

After they say OK let me know why you're calling what is your script for that?

I heavily disagree This gives away all your power and gives them an excuse to get to say NO! And hang up on someone after spending all day talking tedious bullshit on the phone at work. If you act soft and meek and delivery this timidly like you're begging them not to hang up they will just see it as an excuse a free pass to be an asshole and definitely hang up. But alot of comments are saying that they've had success with it so it can definitely work for some people. But be disastrous if said with any weakness. If you deliver it in a very confident way and know exactly what to say next to guide and control the flow of conversation then yeah you'll be in complete control. If you have something exciting to sell at least.

Agree with everything in the vid except for the lakers jersey.

Hear the click sound at “before you hang up”

This even works for prank calls!

Super weak advice. Clearly you have no confidence in what you’re selling if your “go to” opening line is begging someone not to hang up, lol

This is fire. Listened to it serval times and took notes.

When i tried confusion techniques on lawyers they were really upset because they work a lot with words and they hate playing games

This video is help me a lot thank you

Maybe 20yrs ago but now a days unknown calls are rarely answered and target audience is minimal

Thank you Brandon. Big help.

This is actually VERY solid advice. 👌

Not true. I've tried and observed. The reps that can maintain control are the top sellers EVERY place I've worked

Hey listen, my name is Lennon and before you hang up, real quick, I was just hoping to tell you why I called. Would that be ok?

I don't even say that. Why start a conversation with negative words? I say: hi, is this mr seller? My name is Art. I am a local Realtor, and I just wanted to ask you if you had any plans to sell your house in the near future? Usually never get cursed out, very rarely someone would hang up.

I just started my first ever telemarketing job and they teach very assertive techniques, but I am naturally a nice person and I feel like I can make more sales just being nice to people? I am looking for a balance I reckon?

Yes!!! Love this strategy🎉🎉🎉

Love the Daniel ricciardo helmet ❤

What! and your a lakers fan i think you just became my favorite realtor of all time

If the prospect says “is this a sales call?” Literally say “yeah, but pls don’t hang up on me!” With a chuckle… get them to relax and feel your confidence and positive energy. Most likely they’ll love the H for Honestly if you know the Ted talk, and they’ll give you time. Always fight for that extra 20 seconds. Man, I can do it no problem in person! But the phones are killing me.

I’m trying a new method this coming weekend.. let’s see how it goes

Sales mgmt 5yrs or so experience.. I would never ask a question as my opener. 😅 Whatever works. I just assume every single call and close most of them.

Best cold call technique was to sound like the Milwaukee Bucks PA Announcer

Yeup I figured this out by trial and error

I'm not selling a service per say. So I work with a CPA firm and we send letters out to people who have money in the state Treasury...If they use our firm we get a percentage even though its their money its still hard to even get them to listen. Any advice on how I should approach my cold calls since its not really a product? i hope that make sense. Thank you.

I’m trying to figure out what model the plane is in the back…

HI I Am a CC I always start with Hi Josh this is Joe how are you today? I'm okay. that is good to hear josh. how about you joe? I'm doing okay josh, Joe Why did you call me? and that's how I get a lead in one month I got 60 leads I know its few but its getting there

I saw another video that would consider this negative framing

So true

Where did you learn that pattern interrupt from?

Lakers jersey!? I’m definitely taking this advice

used it before , cool stuff bro

Golden

Hell no. Makes you look super weak and you are getting hung up on instantly

Great short.... GO SUNS!!! ;-)

Click!

I hope when I say "Hey listen" they don't hang up

I heard one better than that
