It took me 28 days of cold calling to book my first meeting. Here’s the one change that fixed it: I stopped opening with “Hi, is now a bad time?” and started with a specific observation about their business in the first 7 seconds. Booked rate went from ~1% to something I wasn’t embarrassed by. If cold calling is your bottleneck right now, drop your current opener below and I’ll tell you what I’d change.

Hey guys I'm in a bit of a conundrum, I find myself in a position where I can't always sit down in front of the camera and conduct a sales call because of unpredictable interruptions that would seem awkward on camera. So I'm stuck wondering if any one has has some form of success closing prospects without having your camera on and just using your voice to communicate and do discovery/pitch/close. I'm in the real estate niche btw.
