Odile Faludi Cold Calling Tip 2 Of Ten Cold Calling Tips http://www.linkedin.com/in/odilefaludi Hello, my name is Odile Faludi and I’m a Starting Customer Conversations Specialist. Each week I have been sharing my top 10 tips in starting customer conversations. The greatest cold calling myth is that saying, “How are you?” is a great opening line. What happened the last time you picked up the phone and a complete stranger said, “How are you?” You immediately wanted to disconnect. Don’t do it! You don’t even know this person why would you be interested to know how they are? It sounds completely insincere. A much more powerful way to start a conversation is to simply say, “Hello my name is Odile and I’m wondering if you could help me?” That way you can check that the person you want to speak to is the right person. Also, help is the most powerful word in the English language. 99% of the population will help you if you ask them. The other 1% we don’t worry about! Recent Testimonial Nicholas McEvoy, Director & Property Specialist at BresicWhitney “I have attended many training sessions over my career but I will say this has been one of the best. I loved it so much that I will be calling Odile in a year to do it again. 10/10.” About Odile Faludi Odile is a business development consultant.
