When prospecting it is very important to take a look at your communication strategies. It’s vital to be educated about your leads, their interests, and to contact them with timely and applicable information. Imagine following this message template with a prospect:
“𝐻𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑜, 𝑚𝑦 𝑛𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑖𝑠 𝑆𝑡𝑒𝑣𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐼 𝑎𝑚 𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑡𝑜 𝑠𝑒𝑒 𝑖𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑖𝑛 𝑏𝑢𝑦𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎 ℎ𝑜𝑚𝑒.”
Most prospects would reply back by either hanging up or saying, “𝐼’𝑚 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑑”. 👎
Not only are success rates of cold calls very low, but they typically cost your business 60% more.

✅ You are addressing the prospect by their name, making it more personalized.
✅ You know what your prospect is actually interested in.

✅ Cold Calling is a major time waster
✅ Personalized messages are KING when it comes to prospecting
✅ Never try to “sell” the prospect. They already know what they want and you are just being the bridge from their current state to their desired state.
