The reason I'm asking is because I just had a 10-minute conversation with someone who had the same first and last name. I booked the meeting, and only when I confirmed the contact's email did he say that it wasn’t his email, he had never worked at that company, and he works in a completely different industry.

I usually go for "Hi this is James from [Company] I'm trying to reach you becaus we help [XXX]. I'll try and call you in a few days, feel free to call me back at this number"' Booked my very first demo doing this 😃

@John Huckabee ahaha 😂😂well it happens a lot to me, like 3 or 4 out of 50 cold calls

@Steven L. Well I think it’s more about getting out of the flow of calling, or do you wait the end of your session ?

I'm using Hubspot and the dashboard is pretty good at showing stats on my calls (customizable)

@Jake Edwards It's in french, but you get the idea ! Hubspot isn't that expensive and can do a lot !
