Warming Up Cold Calls

An opening statement should include:

  • A greeting and an introduction

  •  

 

Here is an example:

“Hello, this is John Jones at Solar Solutions. I saw in the paper that you’re planning a new office building in Smallville. Our company has a product that can cut your heating and cooling bills in half. Have you considered adding solar panels to your building?”

From this opening you have introduced yourself and what you do, as well as showing that you know something about them. By finishing with a question you invite a response which can then lead to further discussion. 

The example above is a basic one which can be tweaked to suit personal style and situations, but serves as a demonstration of a strong, complete opening.
