My Cold-Calling Awakening
So, I’ve been making a lots of cold calls lately, and here’s the realization that hit me like a ton of bricks: I sound like a very polite robot. You know, the kind that’s technically saying all the right things but with the energy of a dial-up internet connection. “Hi there, I hope you’re doing well. My name is Gagana, and I’m calling because…”. Monotone. Polite. Safe. But here’s the thing: Cold calling isn’t about just delivering information, it’s about delivering energy. I’m not just offering a solution, I’m offering a chance to level up their business. And that’s something to be excited about! So, I’ve decided to ditch the “polite robot” voice and bring some oomph to my tone. New mantra: Be upbeat, be proud Anyone else ever struggled with sounding too monotone or polite on calls? How’d you fix it? Let’s share tips and laugh at our awkward beginnings!!!
