Cold calling potential clients can be a real challenge. It\u2019s hard to call a stranger you\u2019ve had little-to-no prior contact with, get them engaged, and then successfully pitch a product or service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going through this process repeatedly can be even more challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, when done right, cold calling can be a great way to build sales and earn commissions\u2014particularly these days with so much business being handled remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that in mind, here are some expert cold calling tips to help you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rainmakers.co\/blog\/3-types-of-tools-that-help-improve-sales\/\">bring in more sales<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Do Your Homework<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The term \u201ccold-calling\u201d is a bit of a misnomer these days. If anything, you don\u2019t want to go in cold. You want to go in prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Study what your clients do, how long they\u2019ve been doing it, and how. Research the best people to call at that business and look them up on LinkedIn or other social media sites. <strong>Learn about their experience, responsibilities, and how you might find some common ground.<\/strong> (The chances are good that they\u2019re also looking you up, so have a respectable social media presence.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you might not be wholly successful at first, you are more likely to get a positive reception on a follow-up call if you come across as someone who shows particular interest in the company or the person you\u2019re calling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.rainmakers.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/cold-calling-tips.jpg\" alt=\"cold calling in 2022\" class=\"wp-image-1552 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rainmakers.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/cold-calling-tips.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.rainmakers.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/cold-calling-tips-300x100.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rainmakers.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/cold-calling-tips-768x256.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rainmakers.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/cold-calling-tips-705x235.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.rainmakers.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/cold-calling-tips-450x150.jpg 450w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/300;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Know Your Prospect\u2019s Challenges<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing prospects, select those that need what you sell. <strong>Instead of trying to convince prospects to purchase your product or service, find businesses that may be experiencing challenges you can help with.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any product or service should deliver some kind of solution and value. Don\u2019t waste time with prospects who may not appreciate what you have to offer. Instead, focus on potential clients with a problem you can help solve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Adopt A Cold-Calling Persona<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The cold-calling process can be emotionally draining\u2014particularly if you hear the word \u201cno\u201d a lot. It\u2019s hard not to take that personally after a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One method veteran cold-callers use is adopting a cold-calling persona. <\/strong>This doesn\u2019t mean being dishonest and coming up with a fake background. Instead, it\u2019s about mentally separating your personal self from your work self. You can do this with a slight change of pitch in your voice. Or simply by tilting your head a certain way when on a sales call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider this akin to putting on a metaphorical business suit you can take off and put aside at the end of the day. It\u2019s a small tip, but it can go a long way in helping you maintain your cold-calling endurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.rainmakers.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/effective-cold-calling-strategies.jpg\" alt=\"best cold calling tactics\" class=\"wp-image-1553 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rainmakers.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/effective-cold-calling-strategies.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.rainmakers.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/effective-cold-calling-strategies-300x100.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rainmakers.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/effective-cold-calling-strategies-768x256.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rainmakers.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/effective-cold-calling-strategies-705x235.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.rainmakers.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/effective-cold-calling-strategies-450x150.jpg 450w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/300;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Know Your Script<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to sound like you\u2019re reading from a script, then don\u2019t read from a script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Memorize, practice, and work in a few alternative lines to make you sound more natural.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clients can tell almost immediately when someone is reading off a page or computer screen, and it\u2019s an immediate turn-off\u2014knowing your script and presenting it like a human being makes you more relatable and gives you a better chance of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Try Not To Sound Pushy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Easier said than done, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fortunately, there are three simple tricks to help with this.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Don\u2019t act like a salesperson. Instead, act like a fellow business person or consultant.<\/li><li>Identify your target\u2019s challenges, and then discuss how you can help. Introduce your product or service as a solution to a pain point.<\/li><li>Ask open-ended questions to get the customer to feel more engaged in your call.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea is to keep the prospect on the phone. Sounding too pushy will end your call before you can make a pitch for a sale or a follow-up meeting. On the other hand, if you can keep your prospect on the line\u2014with them doing most of the talking\u2014for around seven minutes, your success rates should improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.rainmakers.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2022-cold-calling-tips.jpg\" alt=\"how to effectively cold call\" class=\"wp-image-1554 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rainmakers.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2022-cold-calling-tips.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.rainmakers.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2022-cold-calling-tips-300x100.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rainmakers.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2022-cold-calling-tips-768x256.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rainmakers.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2022-cold-calling-tips-705x235.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.rainmakers.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2022-cold-calling-tips-450x150.jpg 450w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/300;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Identify Why They Might Say No, and Be Ready<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Turning a no into a yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Before placing your call, see what you can do to identify their reasons for saying no beforehand.<\/strong> If you can figure this out, you\u2019re in a better position to focus on finding solutions and steering your prospect toward finding the value in your product or service themselves and then saying yes to your offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>We\u2019re All Human<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easy to see prospects as numbers and cold calls as mere lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that on the other side of every phone call or video screen is a living, breathing person with their own responsibilities, goals, and lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The real key to successful cold calling is connecting with people, and the only way to do that is to recognize our shared experiences. We\u2019re all human, after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>If you are looking for top cold-calling talent for your organization, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rainmakers.co\/employers\">reach out to Rainmakers<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Effective Cold Calling Strategies There are no two ways about it.
