SDR folks: Are executives at your (current or former) company aware that one of our most effective cold call tactics doesn’t mention their products at all, but instead uses *pain* to provoke a *desire* to learn about those products?
Tag them on this post and let’s see what they say.
(Bonus points if they make the connection that this tactic is particularly helpful for an innovative/poorly understood offering, and also for companies with little brand awareness.)

Prospects come for your messaging → But they stay for you.
What gets responses...
1. Manual Emails
2. Thoughtful DMs
3. Targeted Cold Calls
What builds trust and gets people to book:
1. How you talk / write to them
2. What you make them feel
3. Your aura & energy
The best example of this?
SDRs who nurture prospect conversations over months in order to crush their quota!
We don't need more "messages".
↳ We need more sellers who care.
↳ Sellers who want to solve problems.
↳ Sellers who put prospects before quotas.
Serve first and you'll hit quota later ❤️
P.S. That's how H2H [human to human] is DONE! Agreed?
Objections aren’t the problem. Laziness disguised as ‘bad luck’ is.
When’s the last time you actually mapped out how a call should go? Too many reps get blindsided by the same objections week after week—“Oh, that one threw me off” or “Didn’t see that coming.” Fast forward two weeks: same excuse. Another two weeks? Same mess. Why? They’ve done nothing about it. Just keep throwing out the same stale FAB line, praying it sticks—without even knowing if the prospect cares.
Here’s the deal: start mapping your calls. Start actually understanding your end user. Or keep playing whack-a-mole, hoping you’ll randomly hit gold, and then scratching your head wondering why you can’t do it again.
Managers, if an SDR can’t throw an objection your way and you can’t fire back a creative response on the spot, it’s time to hang it up and head back to the SDR grind yourself.
Don't shoot the messenger, but this is why so many deals are slipping through your fingers...
You're probably not qualifying them fast enough.
But exactly how speedy do you need to be with your leads?
Well, according to Aaron Wallace, pretty darn fast.
Let's say an SDR qualifies the lead and books them a meeting with an AE 7-8 days later.
That's an entire week for the lead to look into your competitors or decide not to meet with you at all.
Instead, speed up your sales cycle by:
🌶️ Pre-qualifying leads via your demo form
🌶️ Scoring leads to prioritize the right ones
🌶️ Automatically routing leads to the right reps
The more you can cut down your sales cycle, the more likely you'll be to close.
What do you think?
Cold calling can shake anyone’s confidence—especially without the right preparation. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.
Blue gives you a space to practice your calls, get feedback, and build confidence before the real deal. No more winging it, just winning it.

Cold calling isn’t dead, it’s just really painful, and most companies do little to help their sales teams alleviate the pain while still expecting them to make the calls. It’s demanding, difficult work, and those that do it well are highly valuable to a business.
While creating structure can be helpful for efficiency, it doesn’t solve the real problem at hand: making it easier to pick up the phone and make the call.

Cold calling often gets a bad rap, but I see it as an art. I take every cold call that comes my way – it’s a chance to learn industry insights and spot best practices for my team. But recently, I encountered an all-too-common issue: The 'Sales Robot' – the rep who delivers the same pitch on repeat. Sales isn’t about scripts; it’s about knowing your prospect, tailoring your approach, and standing out. Remember, your true competition isn’t just other products; it’s every salesperson fighting and clawing for your prospect’s attention. Win that battle for time! Be different! Be human!
