In this video, we discuss how to have the best cold call intro. The introduction of your cold call is the most important part of the cold call, and what you say will greatly impact how the call goes.

If you have a good cold call intro, you will improve your cold calling results and make cold calling easier. If you don’t have a good intro, not only could your calls go downhill more often from there, but cold calling will feel more difficult because you will likely face more objections and rejection.

 

Start with Your Sales Message

The first place to start with creating the best cold call intro is to create your sales message. This is not your sales script because it is just a collection of the key points that you should be discussing with prospects. Once you have those thoughts brainstormed and organized, it is not only easy to create your sales scripts and emails, but it is also more clear how to have the best cold call intro.
We have a step-by-step process for creating your sales message that we explain in many of our other videos and blog posts, but here are a few of the main steps.

Outline Product Details
The first step in our process to create your sales message is to outline key details about the product or service that you sell.

Brainstorm Value Points
Once you identify the product for the sales message, try to brainstorm the benefits that your product or service provides to your customers. We refer to these benefits as value points.

Brainstorm Pain Points
Once you have a good list of value points that you offer or deliver, we can reverse engineer those to create a corresponding list of pain points. For each value point or improvement you can create, there is a problem or challenge that your product can decrease or make go away.

Create a Name Drop Example
One of the last steps in our process to create your sales message is to create a name-drop example which is a short story of a customer you helped with your product or service.

 

Using Your Building Blocks

Going through each of those steps helps you to create what we view as building blocks. You will have a Value Points building block, a Pain Points, Name Drop, and Product building block. You cannot not only mix and match all of these building blocks to create sales scripts and emails, but you can also use them for how to have the best cold call intro.
