Asking Warm-Up Questions for Cold Calls

 

Talk about something other than the weather.

Most new business relationships begin with a cold call or meeting of some nature. Each of those conversations begins with a line of questioning in an attempt to build trust and start a relationship. And that line of questioning can vary from talking about the weather, to a knickknack on their desk or a topic of interest that the salesperson has learned that their prospect has a passion for. Sometimes the conversation goes well and other times, not so well. Asking the right warm-up questions at the beginning of a cold call meeting can is an important and beneficial technique to learn and will help immensely when building new business relationships prospects. This white paper reviews the importance of talking about what matters to your prospect and how to determine what those topics are.
