If you discuss the weather in the first two minutes of the call, you have already lost your deal. That's one of the best advice I have received from my manager. Why? You are positioning yourself as just another sales rep straight from the beginning. To differentiate my demo, I take one point that I find interesting about the company. For example: "Hey, just saw you got a new CEO. I’m so excited to speak to you about that. How has the change been for you?” Genuine interest > scripted chit-chat. How do you start your calls? Ps. Whatever works for you keep doing it ✌🏻 #sdr #ae SDRs of Germany
This is so true
"You know we have some good solutions to choose from, but let's go with Provider A because we had great weather talk on our calls," ... said no decision-maker ever 😁
