111: Why People Hate Cold Calls w/ Jason Bay
Manage episode 302429693 series 2352785
SDRs talk about how hard it is to be rejected when cold calling — and it is.
But it’s also hard for the person on the other end of the phone to reject. Reps need to make the conversation about the person that they’re cold calling both to overcome call reluctance and to change cold calling’s bad reputation.
In this episode, we interview Jason Bay , Chief Prospecting Officer at Blissful Prospecting , about why people hate cold calls so much and what SDRs can do about it.
We discussed why starting a conversation is the whole point of cold calling, the success of permission-based openers, avoiding prospecting narcissism with customer-centricity, and what sales leaders (and SDRs) can do to combat call reluctance.
